    Yeah, I agree guys. I'm an admitted admirer of that Panamanian style (Laguna, Marcel, Pedroza), so that probably explains my leaning toward Laguna. Regardless, this footage raises my esteem for Saldivar. His combination punching is amazing.

    Floyd Patterson W12 Eddie Machen.

    http://www.boxing.com/survivor_type.html

    It is not a great fight, but nor is it dull. Nat Fleischer, one of the few American boxing men to see the fight ringside wrote that the astonishing 34,000 strong crowd were “well repaid with a hard fought, although not spectacular, hard-hitting engagement.”

    The highlights show Patterson thumping out an excellent jab as Machen tries to snipe with his own, looking for the right uppercut as Patterson goes to the body double-handed. The nod at each other when Machen slips, and when Eddie rips into Floyd after the bell to end the eleventh—he hadn’t heard It—Patterson puts a consoling arm around his opponent’s shoulders as he stalks back to his corner. What is available seems to indicate that the ex-champion’s speed wins him the key battles on jab and defense, areas where both men excelled in their primes. According to Ring Magazine, referee Teddy Waltham scored the bout 10-1-1 for Patterson (Associated Press indicates he had it 9-1-2) and based upon what we see that seems unreasonable—I like Fleischer’s 7-3-2 card considerably more. Both men seemed satisfied with their efforts. Machen:

    “I’m after security for my wife and children. I went into the Patterson fight as physically and mentally fit as in any I have appeared and I think Patterson can testify to that.”

    This, Patterson did, before speaking of his own prospects.

    “I was almost as good against Machen as I was in the majority of my best ring contests. I would like nothing better than to fight again for the title…[but] I prefer to fight Liston again, if it can be arranged, before he fights Clay.”

    Edwin Rosario TKO8 Juan Nazario.

    Check out this craziness. A savage war fought in a foot-locker. Keep your eyes peeled for the bite in round seven. I'll upload the rematch maybe later, but this one is a class apart.

    Oh ****...:lol:

    That was crazy. Had Chapo comfortably ahead (5-2, four points up with the biting deduction) but that doesn't detract from the quality of this affair.

    Nazario was a nasty mofo, no? But between all those fouls, and there were many, there were some really hard punches landed on Chapo...who took them all and kept his mind focused on the task at hand.

    Good on Chapo for not fading in the face of an aggressive, determined opponent who wasn't going to go away easily. :good

    Tell you who this fight really benefits for legacy, is Whitaker.

    The rematch is nothing like as good, but in spite of Rosario being faded, you can see how much more mature Nazario is. He fights a completely different fight whilst maintaining that pressure.

    Hiranaki beat the crap out of Chapo, but didn't actually drop him.

    Fights like that show how overestimated Rosario became again after his Bramble win.

    He'd long ago lost most of the boxer-puncher skills that gained much of his early appreciation and hype, yet going into the Chavez fight so many were acting like the guy was some sort of elite well-rounded fighter and was going to be tough for Chavez to outbox or take on from the outside.Stuck in a 1981 timewarp.

    If rosario hadn't been horribly gutted by Chavez, he was going to continue looking vulnerable and flawed and then eventually lose that title to some average\decent contender type sooner rather than later anyway.

    Randall was able to drop him? Well that wouln't be a surprise, as I esteem The Surgeon very highly..
    At the end of that round where Machen clips Floyd several times when he didn't hear the bell, were you impressed at how Floyd didn't even react to those punches? I think that Machen fight was typical of the latter day Patterson who fought as though he had proven something at last.
