    If you can find it, check out Pryor vs Dujuan Johnson. Johnson was pretty much a KO artist. He dropped Pryor like a sack of potatoes and no one thought he would get up. SRL was commentating this fight and thought he was done. MF jumps up like he was coming out of a jack in the box. He had to be on something. Atristionist sent me the DVD and I can't find it for some reason. I also had Rosario vs Camacho on there. If I ever find it I would love to post it for all to discuss. Listen, when I say he got dropped, it was hard. He got up like he wanted to sing and dance.

    The truth mill,,,,,,,,,

    Antonio 'Kid Pambele' Cervantes was 40 years old, and had over '125-bouts' -
    by his own admission prior to the bout, which was stated in the Cincinnati Newspapers.

    What?!
    As for Furuyama fight never said it was a great fight, only that it showed weaknesses in Pambele's game even when he was at his best.

    'Kid Pambele' looked very good in his bout with Miguel Montilla, only 4-months earlier, on March 29, 1980.

    Before fighting Aaron Pryor, a proposed bout between Antonio Cervantes and 'Lightweight' Howard Davis
    was tossed around for mid-1980.

    Would have loved to have seen Howard attempt to match up with Antonio.
