    i've seen the first and second fights, in their rivalry, but never the third contest.

    in the first, banke seemed ahead thanks to some excellent pressure and a 9th round knockdown, but zaragoza did come on late, enough so to take a controversial decision.

    the 2nd fight was even tougher. banke badly cut up zaragoza, who then traded and it became an all out war (much earlier than in their first fight). zaragoza's cuts were an issue but banke's compact body punching seemed to take it all out of zaragoza, who went down swinging a couple of times in the 9th, the round in which he was stopped.

    what happened in the 3rd fight? was it another cracking fight? is this the first time zaragoza got the better of bank,e beyond doubt?
