Been ages, but my memory of it was of antonio looking poor and just getting mauled, roughed up and thoroughly outworked. Young Kyun was a Chang\moon influenced vulgar pressuring fighter,but without the talent of either.He was one of numerous exciting but flawed feather contenders\splinter champs back in the early\mid nineties. Antonio had a brief prime.Not sure if he was struggling with the weight by then; he looked like **** in his previous fight against Mok-park as well.
Nice summary. His short prime and last few fights are why I'd have fancied Fenech to take him. Saying that I'm one of the few who thinks Esparragkza beat Vilasana.
To second what Lora said, Park was just on top of Antonio all fight, just wailing away and hitting him everywhere (even the arms, shoulders, Marciano style, throwing the head in, again like Rocky...:yep). Constant pressure and a solid chin saw him win fairly easily, and definitely as wide as the judges scored it. I really liked Esparragoza back in the day, like most I saw him as a mini-Arguello and thought he may have been one of the best pfp fighters in the sport (I think he got as high as #2 in one of the mags, briefly, which seems a stretch but tells you how good he was- but we'll never really know due to the wuality of his opposition.) But like Arguello his footwork wasn't the best and it was a hindrance in this fight as a bit more movement may have given him the chance to fire some mid/long range uppercuts, which were probably his only decent success. He was well-beaten.
mdwc, is your username because of a sportsmans dinner? I've seen Carl Thompson and I'm seeing Joe Royle in a couple of week.
