    Ricardo Lopez vs Rosendo Alvarez 1 & 2

    Probably the only time when Finito actually had to fight hard and go to war. Very overlooked classic considering how everyone saw Lopez as this flawless fighter.

    Another forgotten gem:
    Katsuya Onizuka vs Hyung Chul Lee
    Israel Vasquez vs Oscar Larios 2
    Miguel Lora vs Wilfredo Vazquez
    Mark Too Sharp Johnson vs Alberto Jimenez
    Alberto Davila vs Frankie Duarte 2

    2,729 total punches thrown. I believe I will go watch this fight.

    I thoroughly enjoy their first meeting. Both, IMO, very underappreciated fights.

    Like I've said before:
    And there he is again. Ben Tackie vs Ray Oliveira. Why am I even surprised anymore?
