    Barkley

    IDK. Not enough footage to know for sure, probably Valdez II from what's on film. I thought he looked brilliant vs Maxim as well.

    Betulio III

    Tate

    Do you want somewhere to start? An incentive to start? I can always tell a hit man to track down a Hagler fan masquerading as a Sanchez fan and tell him to force you to watch Sven Ottke, John Ruiz and Henry Akinwande if you don't. :thumbsup:

    Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for!

    It's good! I'll watch the Betulio fight today if I can break away. I like Betulio a lot.

    Yeah, that's called punching. Don't worry, the more you watch, the more you'll understand :thumbsup:

    Three rounds into the Canto-Gonzalez fight and very impressed obviously. At this initial look Canto reminds me a lot of Napoles. Educated, busy left hand while holding back with the right for the most part, and expert (read; conservative and not extraneous) footwork.

    However, my 20-month old just climbed up on the dining room table and is lobbing the pumpkin centerpieces onto the floor, cackling as she goes. More soon.

    Just for the sake of clarity, the video posted in this thread is Canto vs. Gonzalez II.
