    Hi Buddy.
    Exceptional choices, thanks, I dug out the Gomez / Pintor fight a few days ago, what a battle, one atg champ and one a very, very, fine champ often we see posts about underrated/overrated, I would Pintor squarely in the former, he was one intimidating fighter, not quite up there with Olivares, Jofre, Ortiz, but all would have had their hands full with Lupe .
    stay safe Ike, chat soon buddy.
    Mike.

    Oscar de la Hoya looked impressive against Trinidad in the first half of the fight before he ended up giving it away.

    Winky Wright also looked very good against Fernando Vargas.

    Jose Luis Ramirez vs Alexis Arguello Ramirez was very unlucky to lose an excellent fight.

    In recent times, Shawn Porter won me over in his losing effort to Errol Spence Jnr.

    From a p4p perspective, Conn vs Louis 1, Fitz vs Jefferies and SRR vs Maxim are up there.
