    I haven't seen much of him except his great win over Humberto Gonzalez and a few clips of other fights. I really like his stlye from what I have seen and was considering buying his career set. It would have about 30 of the pro fights (mostly title fights and fights on network tv im guessing). I normally get dvds of guys I know more about but there is little footage of him on the net (which is another reason why I wanna see him fight) and I wanna get some fights of the 'little guys'. In particular guys who saw him fight- what do you think about a Michael Carbajal career set?

    A very good fighter, and one of the supreme talents who came out of the 88' olympics. I saw his first title fight with Muangshai Kittikasem. His first battle with Gonzalez was epic.. I think he had a good career, but probably didn't go as far as some might have predicted.

    EDIT: I didn't realize that he went on to winning so many title fights after the Gonzalez trilogy.. I sort of lost track of his career after the early 90's...

    I'm laying down 1/15 odds that Addie's first post ITT contains no fewer than seven GIF images and/or two Youtube embeds.

    Definitely a good investment, he was always in good fights.

    How good were his next two fights with Gonzalez. He lost by SD and MD. Were they that close?

    What other notable names are on there on his resume besides Gonzales and obviously a young Arce (nice to see he retired of a win too, so rare)?

    Thanks

    His fight with Jorge Arce (which would end up being Michael's last fight) was an exciting come from behind stoppage.
