    Any thoughts on the two fights that took place? Both fights were highly competitive and fought at such a high level. The second fight is especially a great one with an awesome round 11. Despite coming short in both fights Laguna still held his own against a skilled operator like Buchanan. Could you make a case for Laguna winning at least one of their fights or did Buchanan just had his number?

    First fight could have gone either way. Ken won the rematch clearly. No case for Laguna in that one.

    Laguna was a bit past it by time he fought Buchanan.

    I think the early 60s version of Laguna would have outboxed Buchanan.

    Those sweet tartan trunks look good in both b/w and color.
