    Carlos Quintana vs Joe Julio. After an unintentional low-blow Carlos fought his way out, then began to box well enough to call it a clinic. And it was supposed to have been Joe Julio's coming out party. I got suckered into thinking Carlos was going rule! I guess he evaded enough of Joel's punches to not know he was a bust-up easy kinda guy.


    If you love inside the phonebooth fights. Clottey vs Guitarez. Just like Julio,this was supposed to had been Guitarez coming out fight, but he fought the wrong style-inside to which was Joshua's game. Beautiful inside fight.

    I can't find it on youtube, but Angel Mandfreddy vs Courtney Burton a great back n forth action packed fight with a KO I thought might've ended the career of Angel. He layed with his back against the rope, kinda motioning his fist, like he wanted to throw it. Scary for a second.

    Luna vs Luna (no relation)

    well worth checking out! 4 round war between 2 guys making their pro debuts, and a bonus interview with Orlando Canizales between rounds 2-3.

    all out war and round 1 is non stop action! Check it out!

    I met Barry and Frank at Kooyong a few years back. We all had a drink together. Two lovely fellas, two very hard men.

    Kevin Kelley vs Troy Dorsey was another belter. Dorsey will never die wondering if he gave it all he had.

    Great little fighter was Michael, had limitless reserves of stamina, coupled with grim determination, and one of the games most feriocus body punchers, catch his never to be forgotten war with Lester Ellis, I would rate it up against any non stop fight you would care to mention, and then some......
