    Anyone happen to see the fight? King can have exciting moments, so this might not have been as bad a fight as some think.:think

    Yeah, he comes to fight and has pulled off a couple of nice upsets in the past. I too was kinda hoping he would pull this one off as well, but it just wasn't meant to be...

    I don't understand why guys like him don't find a good trainer, get in shape and go for it. He obvioulsy fights with heart and has a punch. He should give himself a chance at being somebody.

    I too have always wondered why they don't do that. It seems that if you are going to be in such a physically taxing career, you might as well give yourself the best possible chances of success.

    That was the talk from Oquendo recently. I would HATE to see that fight.

    i dont know who this king guy is but if the article is correct and he has 18 losses this win is not impressive by oquendo

    Oquendo has the most left, the others are completely shot.

    Beating King isn't so special but getting the stoppage is. King seemed tailor-made style wise for Oquendo but I still thought he'd go for the wide points. I guess Fres must've been able to turn the heat up a bit more than I expected.

    yeah that's what he said on the boxing talk show they have on this website. that's no fight. that's an execution. it's sad because he sounds like a decent guy on that show.
