    I'm digging deep trying to find stuff that not many have previously seen and or digested. Here's one of my favorite rough and tumble, surprisingly skilled & iron chinned Argentinian warriors Eubaldo Nestor Sacco in a real war against super tough Gene Hatcher.

    Look at the start they both have in the first round! Great fight, honestly might be in my top 50 favorite fights or so to be completely honest. Great stuff. Enjoy!

    I wanted to see Hatcher in there with Mancini. What a fight for the fans. The cut men in that fight would earn their pay & may very well contribute a ton to the victor. More than the managers would.

    Bump for one of the wildest and bloodiest brawls of the 80's. The sheer confusion ringside and or the complete and total professionalism from the referee are my favorite parts. :lol:

    Dang good fight. Hatcher was a tough guy. The City of Ft. Worth was proud of what he accomplished with
    limited skills.

    Their first fight was terrific, too.

    I lived in Ft Worth Tx from 1984 till 2003 I got to know the guys at Dave Gormans Super Pro's gym well. Gene was a good friend one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet. I;ll never forget that "left hook from Heaven" as Gene called it that finished Johnny Bumphus, Great days many great memories a great bunch of guys

    Hatcher had some real good fights on ESPN prior to the Bumphus win. Not may were buying into Hatcher going into that Bumphus fight---everyone seemed to love him for some reason. But he was a big underdog going into the fight.

    This still only has 38 views on Youtube. Kind of funny how a match of such quality and intensity can be put on a platform where thousands of people could enjoy it at a time, but instead it just sits collecting digital dust, more or less having the exact same impact as if it was never uploaded at all. Meh.
