    The following I posted the other day on another forum.
    Link takes one to my YouTube channel where over the last few months I've posted a handful of fights, nothing outrageous by any means, especially compared to the amounts most channels will. The majority are fights that had took place on the west coast throughout the 1970's, in the lower weight classes, an era that I have really taken an interest in of late.
    Anyway, like I said, only about 30 fights are up and, for the most part, they are either of that era I mentioned above, or fights that I found somewhat difficult to locate, and only a couple are just there because I think they are in better quality videowise than the versions commonly available, an example being the Canelo vs N'Dou fight. Anyway, enjoy if you choose to do so

    welcome to the forum and nice to hear from you! Nice to hear from the guy who loaded the Zamora vs Uchiyama fight that I watched 2 weeks ago! Appreciate it. I will definitely check it out in more detail later on

    Thanks for the welcoming mat! I thought that fight, which was new to me, was very entertaining....for as long as it lasted anyhow! I've only seen a handful of Zamora's fights but during the Zamora vs Uchiyama we're mentioning, which is Zamora's 15th-ish fight, I am pretty certain I see him get rocked, at the very least, 1 time, and I thought there's a couple other suspect moments too. So, if you've watched a few of his fights, would you say he always had a less than stellar chin or was it just Zarate shattering it? He also may have been one of those fighters with the gift of being ridiculously huge punchers, as well as receiving the curse of not taking a punch well at all? Boxing gods just love them some irony, yeah? But after that fight with Zarate he seemed to suffer an outrageously fast decline, so fast that he "calls it a day" at the age of 27, i think I read recently.

    from what I have seen about 8 or so fights it looks like it was just Zarate. I really wished I could locate 2 of zamoras longer mire challenging fights to get a better feel for that question. The 2nd fight with Soo Hwan Hong would be high on my list to locate as well as the 10 rounder with Jorge Torres. Hard for me to give a better answer when I have not seen him tested enough to evaluate how he would respond.

    Im a do a looks see for the 2 Zamora fights you mentioned hoping to find. Also, did you watch the Zamora vs Eddie Logan fight I posted too? It's almost kinda sad. Using the word decline as I did wasn't the best choice as it wasn't his skill set that had left, I mean, he SERIOUSLY couldn't take a punch. This Eddie Logan character goes into their fight 7-7-0 with all of 2 KO's and it's a brutal looking stoppage of the sort were you don't fall down as you're rested up against the ropes. I think he fought 2 more times after this fight.

    Well, I know you wanted the 2nd of these two's fight, but this rip of the first is pretty clean

    Welcome to the forum mate do you happen to have the second fight between Rafael Herrera and Rodolfo Martinez ive looked everywhere but so far ive only found a small two minute clip on youtube.

    based on comments ive read this is considered one of the greatest all mexican fights ever.
