    A fight I've always known about but until now have never seen. Watch Sanchez end this fight...it reminds me of Johansson-Patterson I but without all the knockdowns...the way Sanchez suddenly ends it with one sudden, clean big right hand.

    Love that right hand of Sanchez..just love it...Clemente was blasted into Bollivian (thank you Mike Tyson) in his first defense against Jose Legra, and got lost in the shuffle of boxing history, but that right hand..it's been forgotten, but it was a beauty..

    Bump...seriously now, I've made some less than sensational threads before like "who would win..Hugo Corro or Sven Ottke"..but this one is worth a look for the sake of that great right hand ko.

    I've seen it before and it's pretty spectacular.

    Very odd KO with the way Shibata falls dramatically after trying to get up. He was a good fighter but didn't have the best chin unfortunately. This was Sanchez's one moment of glory, he lost the title soon afterwards and didn't achieve any other remarkable victories.

    Great find! Thanks, I'd never seen this. I need to watch it again. I didn't quite "get" the second collapse.

    Brutal.

    Although Shibata was glass jawed. Have you seen Escalara's stoppage of Shibata?

    I'm bumping this.

    Any chance that Shibata may have fixed some fights? I've heard one K.O of him was seriously light.

    I know he could be caught cold though. Glass jawed....for a few rounds.

    Anyone give me any more info on Shibata?

    Shibata was actually quite good, and once he got rolling it was tough to find a way to really take him out of his rhythm. But he certainly was susceptible to getting caught and taken out early....often in spectacular fashion.

    The kayo he suffered at the hands of Villaflor in the rematch was pretty vicious in its own right. Shibata went down as if shot.

    I think Sanchez was a bit of a minerature Ingemar Johansson..he waited till the opening came and fired a perfect right hand, and Shibata, not blessed with the best of chins, was an easy prey..and it is a little eerie how he gets up and appears to have recovered only to collapse again. I don't think there was anything fake about it, as I think most Japanese fighters would rather take a bullet to the head rather than take a dive or quit.

    There is actually much better footage of him decimating Perez on YouTube. Perez mixed with scarily good opposition early in his career (and after) but Shibata nearly decapitated him!

    Shibata looked tiny compared to Villaflor. Massive shot after being roughed up early on. I'm hoping to view their first fight soon, how the **** did Shibata outmanoeuvre a beast like Villaflor over 15?! Knowing Shibata, he applied a pretty consistent offensive style so I'd be really intrigued to see him do it against a guy that ashes him so easily second time round.

    Shibata did well for himself considering he had such a bad trait, and one he got going he seemed pretty sturdy.

    I know Shibata is still alive in Japan..I hope he's all right today upstairs, after all the devastating ko's he suffered in his career.
