    hardest part of this decision for me was deciding if Tszyu would win by stoppage or decision.
    I went for decision but with how open Camacho was it is very likely he ends up on the end of a Tzsyu right hand and we all know what happens to most when you face plant Tszyus right glove.... the lights go out

    Camacho is the type of fighter made for Tszyu. First solid punch he takes from Tszyu and Camacho, prime or not, would turn into the post-Rosario version and his chin would be the only thing to save him from being knocked out.

    Tszyu.

    Camacho wasn't the same fighter at 140 as he had been earlier. He lost to Greg Haugen and a close fight with a very inactive Ray Mancini.

    Tszyu also specialized in getting in that right hand against lefties. He was good at getting the timing down on it.

    Camacho would go into a defensive shell and drop a wide decision.

    First time Camacho feels KT power.

    He goes into defensive mode.

    Moving or "running" to some.

    Without doing much.

    Kt keeps the pressure on.

    And scores with enough right hands.

    To win a decision.

    Please, no one vote KT by knockout...it's not realistic. He gets a decision.


    I didn't really think he lost that fight to Haugen, but, yeah, he wasn't the same man at 140+.

    Come on really????
    Camacho was in his prime in the late 80's and fought way bigger punchers than kostya tszyu. I'm assuming some of you were to young to watch live boxing from the 80's-early 90's.

    The Macho Man by easy U.D.

    Camacho was in his prime in the early to mid 80s, and 130-135.

    The Camacho at 140 who had so much trouble with guys like Haugen and a comebacking Mancini, both of whom had only a minuscule of Hector's talent, wasn't the same guy who had taken Jose Luis Ramirez to school or beat down Bazooka Limon.

    Tszyu by wide UD at 140. Camacho would run and hold all night.
