    I know it's only highlights, but Archie looks great here. His jab is long and sharp, his feints are highly deceptive, his workrate seems to be as high as its ever been, and he can't miss with his sneaky right hand. His bobbing and weaving also looks excellent in this fight in close quarters. Archie pitches a near shutout in this fight.

    Fabulous performance by Archie against a younger, bigger, stronger heavyweight contender.

    Ya, Archie was real sharp there. An ATG.

    Valdes looks like **** but I've never seen the first 5 rounds that might have put him in that condition.
