    This fight I found to be very strange. Of course, Carbajal spends the majority kicking the livin' **** out of this guy called Cuesta. However, the opening knockdown looks very heavy and almost as if Cuesta, who is on the receiving end of a left hook, was about to die as a result. Remarkably, Cuesta suddenly springs back into life and manages to get up. It's the single most astonishing recovery I have ever seen. It shocked me more than the one with Holmes vs Shavers. It's the insane.

    As if that wasn't enough, later on nearing the end of the fight, Cuesta suffers another knockdown on the end of another left hook. This one is just as heavy if not heavier than the original knockdown, and Cuesta's head bounces off the canvas and he looks lifeless. Remarkably, he springs back to life again and manages ot get to his feet. Thankfully, the referee stops the fight.

    Have a look at these knockdowns. How did he even get up?

    Obviously a distance relative to one Mr Ruddock, I'm guessing.
