    It is a dramatic fight in spots. Bueno actually bows to Moon at one point for one reason or another So Moon charges him and starts fighting even dirtier. The next round Beuno is infuriated he losses his senses in a bit of a red mist and slugs with Moon till he gets put down hard! he keeps Moon off him long enough to blow off the cobwebs and hypnotizes moon for the rest of the fight.

    He took advantage of a few things Moon often kept his guard evenly extended his left and right were often inches apart like a zombie. He also threw a lot of lead rights (He gets away with it usually because of how far his right is extended) both of these things are taken advantage of by Bueno and Moon really just cannot cope and gets lulled into a cycle of being drawn and countered there are fireworks but thats mostly because Moon has a very fan friendly fight IQ and is made of iron.

    Distance is a concept and I would crush space

    Mayorga vs Forrest 2. I was sure this would be a barn burner with someone getting koed. Forrest wanted his title back so badly and Mayorga knows only how to brawl. Instead Forrest jabs and jabs and plays it very safe. Mayorga becomes the busier fighter in the later rounds and wins a decision.

    Cotto - Canelo. At least a knockdown right? Canelo is much bigger and Cotto wasn't all that powerful at 147 and this is at 160. Surely Canelo is going to drop him and control him. Nope Canelo was cautious and really troubled by the movement of Cotto.

    I was at that fight (Holy-Qawi I).

    Best fight I’ve ever seen live. Amazing the will, skill and stamina of those two men on that day.

    After their first fight, I was expecting a spectacular ending for Carbajal-Gonzalez 2.
