Prime Hector "Macho" Camacho vs Prime Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker.

Sweat Pea takes this in a very comfortable UD, IMO.

 

Pernell Whitaker UD12 Hector Camacho

 

I wouldn't say he would embaress him but he would UD him. I think Camacho would give him a fight like McGirt did because his hands are quick enough to land some shot's.

 

anyone who thinks either of these fighters takes a wide decision clearly has a bias. prime for prime this is a very close fight. prime 130 camacho was a once in a lifetime type of fighter. he had all of the tools sick speed, very good defense, good workrate, and above average power. he definitely imo put together some of the best combinations i have seen. pea good speed out of this world defense, decent pop, great work rate. bothe were great boxers.

speed - camacho
power - camacho
defense - pea
work rate - pea
technique - both very unorthodox, very gifted naturally and could get away with mistakes.

this is one helluva matchup, and honestly imo if they fought ten times you could have a different winner in each fight.

camacho ges downgraded alot based on his post rosario career, but at the top of his game, it is simply two great fighters who are very evenly matched.

 

I am definitely not a big Sweat Pea fan, to say the least. But being objective, I just can't see Camacho hanging with him to keep the fight any more close than about 3-4 points, at best. Pea could have made Macho miss all day long and consistently countered him, IMO.

I respect Camacho, just not as much as I respect Pea. I could be wrong, but this is how I see the fight playing out between the two.

 

id go with Whitaker UD12. 116-112

 

Very true. And the scorecards DISAPPEARED immediately after the fight. Total robbery.

Whitaker over Camacho in a near shutout.

 

11-1 or 10-2 is quite likely. :deal

 

Nobody shuts out a prime 130 lb camacho nobody

 

Whitaker would win but it would not be as easy as some think. The hardest thing to beat in boxing is speed and Camacho had speed. Whitaker 8 rounds Camacho 3 rounds 1 round even.
