    15 rounds.
    I claim this fight as the "Uno Mas" fight,since two of them always seems like they had one more in them,win or lose.
    Who wins this super exciting fight?

    Limon and he digs to the body with BOTH hands far better then given credit for.
    He was as rough as they come could take a nuclear missile and still be ok and always kept throwing.
    Most people only remember him from the Camacho fight when he was already past it but in his prime he was a freaking machine that could not be hurt.

    The punch counting guys would be asking for a raise after this one.

    Two gangly, long-armed bangers with no defense and great chins. I could see a decision either way, but Limon is proven at 130 and one must therefore figure he's the "bigger" fighter. Usually you want to go with that as an indicator. So I'll pick Limon by decision. Ugly decision.

    I'd say Villasana would still go and make it close tbh,he could box a little and was certainly more well rounded than Limon,his punching technique wasn't so far from the Bazooka,but I think it wasn't as wide and telegraphic as Limon's.

    Compare how Limon tries to hit Chacon/Villasana trying to hit Hodkinson for example.

    I'm gonna take Villasana here. Nothing much too it but he does have the tighter shots, and the better chin - I usually take that type in a brawl between thunderous punchers.
