    Two classic fights that took place at 140 pounds, which fight did you like better?

    Man I can't remember Tzyu Urtado that well but wasn't it kind of a one sided beatdown? I remember Tzyu murdering him with body shots but not much more than that.

    All I remember is the crazy round one with three knockdowns. Tszyu knocked Hurtado down, then got dropped twice himself, and was swelling crazy quick.

    I may have to rewatch this one tonight...

    It was a very competitive fight that had a lot of back and forth drama, especially in the 1st round.

    Cotto/Torres is better for me.

    I can hardly believe the fight didn't get more recognition. An incredible two way battle.

    Tzyu ends up stopping him on body blows though right?

    For some reason, I can't remember but I do know it was a great scrap.

    I think you're going to see Cotto vs Torres win her esimply because it's so much harder for people to remember Tzyu vs Urtado. Between all of us we might be able to piece the fight back together.

    Cotto Torres was a better fight as of after round 1 Tszyu i felt was in complete control.

    Round 1 though im having trouble finding on youtube.

    there were 3 knocks downs in round 1 of the Tszyu v Hurtado fight.
