    Yeah, that Julio whatshisname was a pretty good body puncher back in his day. If only we heard more about it.

    He's right up there with the best

    He could really slow down good opponents with it.

    It had a cumulative effect.

    Randall was an exception.

    Julio landed a lot both legal and illegal and Frankie weathered it quite nicely.

    Whitaker used angles to avoid it, for the most part.
