    Especially when yu consider both how badly he was crushed in the first fight and how his nature was truly one of offensive machine .. he really controlled himself that fight ..

    Yes, he was a very sentimental fighter in some way, you hit him once, he hits you back three times, good for the spectator but makes him vulnerable.

    I was criticizing him in some of his previous fights for being to conservative even when was a clearly the better fighter, but he but a masterclass on Rocky, every aspect in boxing was dominated by Lomachenko that night.
    In the other hand, Mario Kindelan was the amateur goat.

    I counted about ten thousand headbutts by Chavez. But yes, it was freaking destruction.

    I'll throw Duran-DeJesus III into the discussion. Masterclass.

    You beat me to it. Although Starling really punished Honeyghan.

    Because Pacquiao is 100000x better than Corrales

    That version of Pacquiao was 100,000 times better than Corrales? Agree to disagree. Morales probably got tagged with 100 times as many hard punches as Mayweather did though. But an excellent performance, no doubt.

    Chavez always fought head first when inside.

    Some of my favorites:

    Bernard Hopkins-Felix Trinidad
    Floyd Mayweather-Diego Corrales
    Marlon Starling-Lloyd Honeyghan
    Michael Watson-Nigel Benn
    James Toney-Iran Barkley
    Salvador Sanchez-Danny Lopez (both fights, especially the first)
    Marvin Hagler-Tony Sibson
    Roberto Duran-Esteban Dejesus 3
    Buddy McGirt-Simon Brown
    Pernell Whitaker-Buddy McGirt 2 (a good fight between 2 brilliant technical fighters, Whitaker was just better)
