    Footage of DeJesus aside from the Duran and Cervantes fights seems to be fairly rare.

    He had big wins over Ray Lampkin, Suzuki Ishimatsu, Alfonso Frazer, Edwin Viruet, Vicente Mijares Saldivar... I suppose he looked fairly good in those although the first Duran fight remains his best ever performance.

    Ive got all 3 of the Duran fights

    I used to have the Lampkin fight...but traded it.

    Ive seen the Cervantes (its on youtube now), Mamby and Ishimitsu (missing 3 rounds) fights.

    Not sure what else is on tape.

    Nice to know the Lampkin fight is out there! How did Esteban look there rock, if you remember?

    I've got his fight with Viruet. Both look past it there and put on a bit of a nothing bout. Definitely not one of Esteban's better performances.

    Buzzsaw Yamabe and Ishimatsu are both strong performances.

    It was the 2nd fight I believe...I probably should have held on to it but I was younger and probably wasnt appreciating what I was seeing.
    I think I swapped it for a tape of 3 Riddick Bowe fights.

    Its been a while and it wasnt a fight I watched repeatedly...It was a good but not great fight from memory though.

    Lampkin doing well early when he was fresh and when he stopped moving and opened up to the body..But he didnt put any pressure on Esteban really, was on the backfoot a lot. DeJesus walked him down and finished stronger.
    Esteban looked quick and confident but Ray was tricky as hell and landed his fair share of shots.

    I remember thinking the scores were perhaps a bit wide, whilst not scoring it myself.

    How did the Yamabe fight go down Mante?

    Did he just dominate?
