    Thier fight in Aug 1980 ended in a blow out (2 Rds.) Was Cervantes washed up by then? How would a match have been in Cervantes' prime? Could "Kid Pambele" pull it off against Pryor? 15 Rounds.

    Pryor would still win, but a closer fightit would be.

    Here's the fight.. it goes 4 rounds.

    I feel the result would have been slightly different, 12 rounds. Pambele was tough, could really bang, but Pryor was relentless in his attack and would have broken him down regardless.

    with illegal stimulants, pryor wins. Take them away and cervantes gradually takes him apart and stops him late.

    Antonio would pull out a close decision over Aaron, who admitted to being scared of Antonio when they fought.

    I could see it going either way. The struggle would be of who controls the pace, and obviously at the time that they fought, Pryor's relentlessness was going to outdo Pambele's methodical work, but it's a different story prime for prime. It depends on who adjusts better as the rounds go by...
