    i remember being hyped for this fight after their first fight, its also my favorite of the 3 which were all fun fights. both guys shined. 9 rds of great skill, heart and desire. if youve never seen it, grab some popcorn and enjoy.

    love his heart. for someone so slow, he was very effective. i guess nacho had a lot to do with it.
    his fight against a young morales was a great fight too, gave him all he could handle.

    Love I and II. Don't think I've seen III. But II was the best. Insane slugfest and Zaragosa's bleeding from both eyes, face a red mask. It was surreal.

    Got to love it when a special fighter finds the right dance partner and they make magic like that. Every Pacquiao gets his Marquez. Every Gatti finds his Ward. A tenacious rivalry is born. That's what boxing's all about.

    Clinton Woods vs Glen Johnson were 3 exciting fights (if you can look past the hometown decision in the first fight)

    great fights. that was a pretty close trilogy also, andries got his payback in the rematch. only guy to ever beat the hitman until his last fight vs mccallum.

    It was close. Harding stole the first fight after being behind on the cards 105-107, 103-104 and 103-106 going into the last round.
