Alberto Davila vs Enrique Sanchez - Dramatic comeback fight during heavy rainstorm

Flo, thanks for posting the link. I recall really enjoying this fight, which I think I will re-watch tonight. BTW, here is how I had it when watching it before:

Albert Davila v Enrique Sanchez (bantamweight title)

Round 1: 10-10 Even
Round 2: 10-9 Sanchez
Round 3: 10-9 Sanchez
Round 4: 10-9 Davila
Round 5: 10-9 Sanchez
Round 6: 9-9 Even (scored for Sanchez but he had 1 point deducted for a low blow)
Round 7: 10-10 Even (The Hurricane)
Round 8: 10-9 Davila
Round 9: 10-9 Sanchez
Round 10: 10-8 Davila (scores a knockdown)
Round 11: Davila stops Sanchez

Total through 10 completed rounds: 95-95 Even (actual scores unavailable)

Again, a terrific fight. Sanchez was a deserving challenger who got off to a terrific start with speedy, hard combos. But around the 6th Davila really started to work the body and it really paid dividends. The 7th was the bizarre round. it was an outdoor arena in Miami and a veritable hurricane whipped up with a hard rain lashing out of the heavens. Davila later referred to it as holy water because he turned his back to the sideway driven rain and had it lashing into Sanchez' face. It was amazing to see them fighting in puddles. The 9th round was Sanchez' last gasp as Davila's body shots were taking him apart at the seams in the 10th. And Davila finished things in the 11th. It was always said that Davila was way behind. Perhaps that's just a myth, because I cannot find actual scores on this. if anyone can help out I'd appreciate it. But regardless, I had the fight Even going into the 11th and it was a great, methodical performance by Davila against an excellent opponent.

 

It must’ve been a helluva rally for Davila to stop someone! I’ll check this out.
