    A double left hook made former fly champ Burruni turn his back & wobble toward his corner:

    Takao Sakurai was an Olympic gold medalist whose only loss was a debatable dec in a title shot vs. Rose.

    It's a shame that there apparently isn't any footage of the Rudkin KO ... to me, bombing him out in the manner that Olivares did is 1 of the most impressive feats by any fighter @118.

    That is a fair post; but the first part of his career is a mexican style record even if he has some real known names there, he reaches the high world level when he faces Sakurai... and althought he had a way to win decisively (by stoppage).. it was common to have a scare previously, with knockdowns and being even in the cards... he was good in finding a way though..

    As my dad said with a smile on his face when I told him film of the fight didn't appear to exist, "Let's hope it stays like that."
