    Rual Soriano. Soriano had a less than stellar record going into this fight, but the commentary should put the level of respect with which he was regarded firmly into perspective. An 80 fight veteran he could "beat any welterweight in the world" on his night, but was seemingly inconsistent. A cutie and a spoiler, Soriano recalls Locche with his exaggerated weaving, and also, in the first few rounds here, with his lead left hook. An in-fighter of no little skill, this switch-hitter brings a wealth of experience to the Inglewood ring this war was fought in.

    Armando Muniz. Armando is the baby of the fight, having only fought around 20 professional fights. He closes the class gap with his huge heart, iron chin and relentless commitment. Muniz had already been beaten, by Emile Griffith, Muniz would literally fight anyone. In his career he would tustle with Eddie Perkins, Jose Napoles twice, Carlos Palomino and Sugar Ray Leonard, a veritable who's who of the era. He would be stopped only twice, a technical stoppage against Palomino, and against Sugar Ray, with an arm injury. In spite of his indisputable qualities, five title challenges yielded no gold.

    The Fight is a total war. Neither one of these guys gives an inch. The ninth is amongst the best rounds you will ever see.

    My card.

    Soriano - 1, 4, 5, 7, 8

    Muniz- 2,3,6,9,10

    So I scored it a draw, as did the referee, Dick Young. The two judges scored it for Soriano, 6-3-1 twice.




    All cards, thoughts and observations are welcome.

    Pone Kingpetch. Kingpetch was actually a bit of a Road Warrior in defence of his title, and here are highlights of his second of four defences he performed on the road before returning home. Some arguably suspect judging made the fight a split, rather than a UD, but fortunately these highlights have survived the years to show Pone's superiority.

    Mitsunuri Seki. Arguably the more interesting of the two, the Japaneese southpaw also had five title shots with no gold to show for it. He lost to Saldivar twice and Ramos once all the way up at featherweight, was smashed up by Medal at bantamweight, and lost here in his first title challange at flyweight.

    The Fight is another pleasing echo to Suriano-Muniz. Again, Seki isn't really experienced enough for his much more experineced foe, again he closes the distance with heart and punch resistance and guts (As well as not inconsiderable skill). As well as watching for those brutal exchanges, keep an eye out for glimpses of Seki in his corner between rounds. He's exhausted, early, but he comes out aggressively for every round. That's how you fight a title-shot.

    Raul Soriano was a pretty decent fighter...he did score that surprise ko over the dangerous, red hot Adolph Pruitt in 71 or 72, and though he was stopped in the return match, he demonstrated toughness in that fight even.

    thanks for the uploads.
    did you use that program that I showed you? formatfactory? That way people don't have to look at that stupid text in the middle of the screen. i also think its faster.

    A quick word about the text.

    I know it's annoying, but it protects us a little bit. I like uploading footage for people to share, stuff like Machen-Summerlin and Giardello-Mims are examples of fights that maybe people wouldn't see if I didn't upload them.

    But it is possible, easy, to download this footage from YouTube. I don't mind that at all and everyone is welcome to do so. But I don't see why other collectors should be downloading some of the rarer stuff i've uploaded and selling on what i've bought/traded/begged/borrowed for a profit. So that's the kicker and that's why I haven't used the key Tommy. I've made a point of generally uploading rarer footage, less mainstream stuff, some stuff that even some collectors don't have. It's nice for hardcore fans to be able to see how these fighters move and box. It's not really about the film quality for me. It's also a part of the reason RB has allowed some of the rarer fights coming to be uploaded.

    Love seeing the footage and understand the reasoning behind the text. A very minor nuisance in light of the privelege of seeing these fights..................McGrain, is that avatar a salute to James Toney? ;-)

    Boxing shooting itself in the foot again. I can't believe a Goosen was involved in this. I'll bet no MMA fighter under contract with Dana White gets within a quarter mile of a boxing ring.
