    Great little fight. Shocking to see Kelley struggle against someone he was supposedly many levels above where he was hyped to be to.

    Like a Rocky movie, definitely one of the definitive comebacks of the 1990's. Don't know who here has or hasn't seen it. Hope at least one person enjoys it. Cheers.

    Never watched it before, starting it up now. I'll give my thoughts once it's over.

    That was an excellent fight. In my opinion it seemed Rivera tired from throwing shots hard enough to keep Kelley at bay and wrapping him up on the inside. But you can clearly see in the seconds leading up to the KO, Kelley is looking to land that left.

    Thanks for posting this. Any other hidden gems like this you recommend?

    Thank you sir.

    I have watched the Carbajal-Gonzalez series. Mandatory for a Mexican.

    That's the best and most articulate way to describe the Meza/Garza fight, yes. :risas3:
