    The best pure toe-to-toe war in quite some time, with so many KD's an such a brutal ending. An instant classic.

    Crazy sport.

    Glad Baranchyk seems to be ok, or as good as u can be after a KO like that.

    This would have been a strong contender for FOTY in a normal year. But in this COV-ID starved drought? Number 2 ain't even close.

    Planned to post while watching but I was glued to the screen, this was one of the brutal fights I've seen in 15 years of watching boxing!

    baranchyk didnt look right from the get go. his balance was way off, nearly falling over from throwing punches, tripping over himself. he also wasnt taking zepedas punches very well. i wouldnt be surprised if he had some underlying issue before the fight.

    Because I only spent 30 seconds of the full 60 running around my apartment fist-pumping and screaming.

    I've never seen a more Rocky fight ever. But this did it. That was Rocky Zepeda Vs Ivan Drago.
    Nah this is a hall of fame fight.

    Btw Bayless was stupid to not end the fight as soon as Ivan hit the ground. The fight was certainly over and those seconds he wasted could be invaluable.

    The most brutal fight I agree, like what the ****? How? What is it in them that had them be able to pull that off? This is something people will rarely be able to see in life as it's happening. We've been blessed to claim we saw this live.

    Baranchyk's defensive flaws should've been worked on extensively in the gym because the vast majority of his KDs are due to him getting caught with big counters during exchanges after leaving himself
    ridiculously open and he does it time and time again. Don't get me wrong, he's never going to be a defensive wizard but he's getting caught with huge counters far too often and it's unnecessary
