tszyu was so fun to watch. he was aggressive and a good counter puncher as well. of course then thiers his davistating power.
Thanks for sharing especially the first video. that was the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Leopoldo Cantancio was the Philippine's best amateur boxer, came close to the medal round in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. I remember watching this fight. KT was just in another league.
this was always a impressive amateur victory over a future welterweight and junior middleweight champ the late (rip)Vernon Forrest. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA-PybmMePA[/ame] that is domination over a quality opponent.
Very nice. Only amatuer fight I've seen of his in full was the Forrest fight, in which he looked very impressive... It's that fight in Sydney, Australia that his future trainer Johnny Lewis first took note of him... Thanks for this!
