They both fought Duran. They both had good skills. Buchanan faced the green Duran, the other one faced the monster (in progress) Duran. Who do you think can take it. 15 rounds fight with the rules of that time. Lets get it on.
Great match-up! Would love to have seen this one. Both classic boxers, great straight punches. Maybe Buchanan to edge a tight decisions? I like Buchanan and think he was tough as hell. You gotta admire a Scot with skin so white it is pale blue...
This IS a great match.Buchanan was a bit more skilled and polished, DeJesus stronger and with more pop.This fight would probably look a lot like Buchanan-Laguna with Ken getting pretty busted up but narrowly prevailing by decision.
Buchanan decks DeJesus en route to a well earned decision..the difference would be in toughness..not in skill.
This fight was actually going to come off if Buchanan had managed to beat Ishimatsu. At that point, Esteban should be favoured I guess. But if ever a guy needed a manager...
