    EPIC !!:deal One of the fights of the decade in 90s.....

    One of the most forgotten WARS ever ! This is better than any Bowe vs Holyfield, Gatti vs Ward or Morales vs MAB in terms of action IMO....unfortunately I didn´t watch nothing else on these two guys besides that....

    Here is a Great sparring session between Onizuka and Canizales in 91.......Really Good !

    Onizuka´s left hand impresses me in the footage against Lee and in this sparring against Orlando.....incredibly fast and accurate, his balance seems really good as well....

    This might be my choice for FOTY in '94. It's better from start to finish than Castro-Jackson.

    Probably one of the five best fights of the decade but possibly not the best junior bantamweight fight

    Watched this last year. Amazing bout. Onizuka was a skilled action fighter in the vein of Arguello. Very unfortunate about his eyes early in his title reign, completely changed his career. He'd of won this bout otherwise.

    He would fit in very well today at 115lbs at his best. His sparring against Canizales is also great watch.
