    Kermit Cintron vs. David Estrada is probably one of the top 3 fights in the time I watched Friday Night Fights.

    Jesse Feliciano vs. Alfonso Gomez III was another ESPN2 gem.

    Israel Vasquez vs. Jhonny Gonzalez is legitimately one of the greatest fight I've ever seen. At 122 pound Foreman vs. Lyle with twice and many rounds and five times as much technique.

    This fight gets overlooked heavily, especially that incredible 8th round.

    Yeah this was a good one and a dramatic finish. Rosario was tons of fun.

    Ruben Olivares-Katsutoshi Kanazawa II never seems to get mentioned but it’s an incredible fight. Probably one of my top 10 or 12 favorite fighters ever period.

    Pryor-Johnson
    Medel-Pimentel
    Meza-Garza
    Quiroga-Anifoshwe
    Fletcher-Singletary, Sabater, Braxton III, Green, Jackson
    Ward-Green, Diaz

    Betulio Gonzalez vs. Martin Vargas
    Not one of Gonzalez's most famous fights, but he was getting pummeled by the Chilean slugger early on. He hung in there and gave some back, and around the ninth he turned it on and just started walking through everything. Vargas got up from two knockdowns, but after the third his corner threw in the towel.
