    Value for money is absolutely correct with Travis. Some of my favorite slugfests for sure. Leapai brought it too, what an insane fight. I always feel for Travis because I feel he had a lot of tools to be a bigger player and people rarely got out of a fight unscathed with him. Thanks for sharing that experience

    Alberto Jimenez. Really skilled fighter with a pleasing style his fights with Too Sharp, Carlos Salazar, Arthur Johnson, Kittikasem, Matlala and Robbie Reegan are all fun fighters to watch and to get a gauge of Jimenez as a fighter.

    Murata was a very good fighter when he was testing the likes of Pintor and Chandler, two fantastic pugilists for mine. The ratings slept on him a bit (he was only top 10 for a late blink) and i think he may have beaten a few rated above him, of which there was plenty.

    Manuel Medina fought as a teenager till he was 37 with a style that he built on the fly, probably only made sense in his head but he was really special.

    There are probably a bunch of really entertaining club fighters lost to history. Probably all across latin america — you combine countries with high poverty rates and a love of boxing, and I guarantee you there’s some crazy local action going on that none of us are seeing.

    and actually by that token, there is probably some crazy Muy Thai stuff going on over in Thailand that we never see. I’ve rather enjoyed the Muy Thai stuff I’ve seen, but I’ve been limited to whatever DAZN happens to have. Have seen a couple truly brutal KOs off kicks.

    Medina was like a poor man's Rodriguez, super slappy but can fight inside and work the body.

    Fabrice Bénichou & Pichit Sitbangprachan & Kohei Kono & Nungdiaw Sakcharuporn & Thanomsak Sithbaobay the five are very exciting fighter who was really agressive in the ring and not famous.

    Very skillful and unknown fighter you have Manus Boonjumnong, Saen Sor Ploenchit, Lorenzo Parra, Stamp Kiatniwat, Salim Medjkoune, Ryoichi Taguchi, Hilario Zapata, Yota Sato,Tomonobu Shimizu, David Guerault....

    I saw some guy named "Doo-ran" KO Benny Huertas in MSG a few decades ago. I wonder what ever became of that kid? :nusenuse:

    I always enjoy watching the “Professor” Mike Donovan work.
