Wilfredo Gomez Vs Albert Davila July 19, 1976 720p No Commentary "new" Mario made version

After one minute of this fight I realized that what I was actually watching was Super Mario in a heated boxing match with his brother Luigi. I mean, everything about the appearance of both fighters could not be any better to make this comparison. It becomes apparent almost immediately that one thing Luigi is unquestionably without doubt better than his ultra famous brother in is boxing. He is worlds better. And he isn't content to just let Mario know it. It looks like he wants to take his lifetime of jealously playing second fiddle to his brother out of/on Mario's face and anywhere else he can punch him. And he does. He does it repeatedly. Mario, for his part, is no quitter, and like in the games where he is slightly better than average at everything, it looks the same in the ring, but Luigi is better. So much better.
Ok, for real, Alberto Davila is one tough fighter. This guy goes 9 rounds with this Gomez who is just a killer here. Oh, and this isn't a title fight either. This is a fight between two young contenders who both had talent and who both went on to be well known fighters. Obviously Gomez is the more of everything, and by a lot, but if you don't know of Davila, for real guys, check his record at the link* below and look at the names the guy fought in his career. Like we all say and think, it is the kind of record we wish to see much more of these days amongst contenders and champions. I think it really is. He was a tough guy for real. Watch this fight and see the bombs he takes for nearly 9 rounds. Too, too, too tough. Anyway, I hope those who watch will enjoy the fight. I was surprised at the quality as the only other version I had come across wasn't close to this one, the "issue" with this version I posted was only that it was posted way back when there were limits to how long uploaded videos could be so it was a two parter so I did the best I could do and made it one file and here you are. Last, I think it is kinda odd that this fight, or this version, has no commentary whatsoever, but I really wish that those in charge of broadcasting this fight had mic'd the ring better so that we could hear the landed punches, as we do for all other fights.** It just doesn't seem as though that is the case with this particular version. We hear all other sounds, and it sounds as though the audience is mic'd instead of the ring itself. I am nitpicky. *https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/228 ** I forgot that there is another uploaded version that has Spanish commentary, but it looks dogship compared to this.
