    Any thoughts on Sucra? A skilled volume punching contender who had endless stamina and a fearless style who made some excellent bouts. His fight with Padilla also broke records with the amount of punches thrown combined at the time as well.

    Pretty well skilled and threw many punches.
    Had a pretty good chin too and the first I remember of seeing him was vs Rickey Myers who they were desperately trying to run the Mike Tyson spin on him due to Rooney training him.

    I saw all of the fights that you posted but all I remember about him is that he threw a lot of punches.

    Too bad Augustus ended his career,but it was a good fight despite of his losing effort too.

    His fight against Tackie was very good.

    Very good fighter. Spoke to him about the Artemiev fight. He thought he won. I told him I scored it for Artemiev.
