One more dimension to this fight: Moon cut easily, even from his amateur days. So I think it's more likely that Zamora stops him on cuts than on a...
Yup. But the difference is that Moon needs to land just one flush on Zamora, whereas Zamora needs to land a lot. It's too bad that Zamora v. Hong...
I see no scenario where Trinidad won this fight; the most permissive scoring on his behalf would be a draw. And that's really stretching it. But...

Park's two fundamental weaknesses were chin and stamina, and Kim's two calling cards are non-stop work-rate and devastating hook. The question is...

By the way, the earliest title fight I know of after turning pro that I know for sure is Kwang-sun Kim (after 5 bouts). But Kim is arguably the...
But I recall someone here claiming here that every fighter who ever fought is documented in Boxrec! ;)
