    Agreed :good Carbajal was pretty shot by then, he did get a big win over Arce after this though, however he was losing bad before he landed a hail mary shot, like most aging fighters your power is the last thing to go.


    One guy that kod Baby Jake got kod by, that no one talks about on here is Alberto Jiminez this guy was very good he used to fight at the forum alot,and lost a split and controversial decision to the great Mark Johnson. Very exciting fighther you guys that are into the smaller weights should check this guy out other fighters he beat Arthur Johnson,Robbie Regan,Baby Jake,Makito Martinez,Jose lopez, also lost a split decision to Champ Munagcahai Kittikasem in Thailand:huh What does that tell you?

    Can't forget Raton Jimenez...you bring up old memories of Forum Boxing.
    I remember all the fighters with 7 Mares advertisements on their backs .....

    Very nice of Carbajal to crouch down to Jakes height.:yep

    It may have been a tad past Carbajals prime, still Jakes career was far superior to Carbajal's accomplishments. Both of them gave us some memorable fights, good fighters they were.

    Baby Jake is a legend.

    Jimenez was a good solid fighter too, i seem to remember he had Johnson rocked near the end of their fight, though it's been ages since i watched it.He might be the best fighter Johnson beat actually.

    Carbajal was a flawed champion, but his reign was really good. Faced more world champions than any other Light Flyweight in history, beating most of them.

    One of my favorite fights at the lighter weights 2 highly skilled little guys that were also big punchers. That fight was fought at a fast pace for 12 rounds.

    Jimenez was indeed a very good fighter Anarci. Unfortunately I haven't seen his fight with Johnson. I haven't research it in enough depth to get many decisive opinions on whether or not it was a robbery, but I've heard it was the most difficult fight of Johnson's prime, which doesn't surprise me given the quality of fighter he was facing. Jimenez was damn near as quick as Johnson with his hands and even quicker on his feet. If there was one notable flaw to Johnson's game it was probably his flat feet, at least in comparison to his upper body work. It's a reason I feel he'd have lost to the likes of Harada and Chang had he ever matched up with them, and would've had real difficulties with the elite swarmers/pressure fighters at the weight.

    I can see why he'd have had such a difficult time with Jimenez given his quick feet and high offensive workrate. This thread has really sparked my interest in viewing that fight.

    That would be a sight. It's comical enough watching Jake against average sized Flyweights (Dave McCauley looked like a Bantamweight in with a Straw-weight in their matchup), especially in comparison to the referee. Check out how huge Richard Steele looks in comparison in the above fight.

    On the topic of Perez, there's a few clips of him up on Youtube now if anyone wants to watch, against Shirai, Yaoita, and Yonekura.
