These are short fights and short clips. It was odd because I watched these consecutively. Maybe I'm feeling a little cynical, but the KO's seem to exceed the punches which produced them. Thoughts? Also, anyone know who is in with Villaflor? Mbuelo Botile vs Harold Mestre [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-sQ_xN8-Ro[/ame] Ben Villaflor vs ????????????

I think it is Kuniaki Shibata. He was a very good fighter, but his chin let him down several times. Wollr
Botile was a lot harder puncher than his record suggests. He broke Tim Austins jaw and damn near killled Paul Ingle.
Yeah, and he definitely hurt Mestre in the 1st round a couple times, which the usually sharp Ryan and Clancy didn't seem to pick up on. It just seemed at the end that Mestre felt Botile's power, thought about it a second, then went down and flopped around like a beached tuna. I didn't mean to imply a fix, just not so sure of Mestre's resolve in this one. Easy for me to say though. I don't believe Botile won a fight after hurting Ingle.
No he lost his title to Toledo, which was heartbreaking to me because I was a fan of his. I think he must have taken Toledo lightly because Toledo wasnt as good as Botile by a long shot. After that he basically retired and then had a couple of a comeback fights but I dont think his heart was in fighting anymore.
