    Greb v Walker was masterful. Dominating a prime atg like that is a memory that will live forever with me.

    I'm still debating whether or not to upload it.

    I know I saw that fight. Number two is the only one up on youtube now but I saw Locche win, and it wasn't just a highlight, it was a long ass fight. Someone must have taken it down since I saw it. This guy agrees with me.

    Of course, now you all got me doubting myself, and I'm wondering if I wasn't watching that fight number two which isn't properly labeled. But I seem to remember Cervantes barely landing anything, so why would Locche lose? Now, I gotta go watch fight number two to see if it wasn't the one I saw.

    There are highlights on there. From the Argie film people. I don't think they list it among their longer films though, the ones you can apparently order for a few hundred bucks.

    So it was on Youtube for the amount of time it took you and you alone to watch it? Nobody else has seen it, and if they have they sure as all **** didn't see it on Youtube. This forum's pretty damn good about catching gems like that.

    the 2nd fight was upped by someone and listed as the first.

    I remember doing a search for Cervantes not that long ago, noticing it and quickly confirming it was actually the rematch.

    Could be the one you checked out ovids.

    To be fair i could imagine someone being confused if they didn't check the ending properly.

    Cervantes was hardly convincing, slower than Monzon and didn't land much clean.Loche made a lot of excellent moves defensively and was still great there, so if you were watching it in the thinking you were seeing the first fight and mostly looking at Locche....it could look good.

    Until you realise he hasn't landed any punches himself.

    Cervantes just seemed to be utterly clueless against defensive spoilers.No idea how to really use his long straight punches to proper effect.He did a bit better against Benitez, but Wilfred was actually fighting a "proper" textbook boxing match rather than just standing there trying to make him look bad.

    Yeah, I've come full circle on this. I'm sure you guys are right. I was just resisting the possibility that I was wrong 'cause I got a big ego. Now I'm bummed out and feeling foolish, but I guess that's better than being delusional. Thanks for setting me straight guys. That's some tough medicine there.
