The myth that Benitez won easily against Durán, when in fact he caught holy hell and was brutalized on the inside to the point he was never the same again.
Cocaine must be a helluva drug, to kick in all at once on the very same night you just happen to fight the best opponent of your career. Odd how often that happens, wouldn't you say?
I was able to track that punch to round 7. It was a good punch, but Walcott took it like a champ and fought on.
i havent scored it, but there are a good amount of people that think it wasnt this horrible robbery that so many claim it to be. Regardless Whitaker lost, maybe the judges didnt like his boring non stop running style. Too bad him vs Chavez in 88 would've been way better than their fight in 93.
Spot on. Julio was clearly on the way downward for anyone who actually watched him since the Mario Martinez fight.
He wasn’t quite the same for most of his reign at 140 as he was prior. Even though that was where the Chavez brand was created, basically. He was still every bit the dominant force leading up to Whitaker as he was in his 80s peak. Just a hungover version.
