    Some more beautiful boxing from Roman. I’ve always wondered why there aren’t more Beristein fighters using the same movements as Roman. I’ve never seen Marquez or Lopez implementing the same kind of slick boxing.

    He was an Olympian before he even got to Nacho, wasn’t he?

    Yes he was. He competed for the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

    Roman had a far better resume and was the better defensive technician of the two.

    Canizales had the better offense and a better chin.

    Both had beautiful footwork, Roman defensively and Canizales offensively.

    If you ask me who was better on their best day? Roman.

    But Canizales had the longevity.
