    Absolutley love this KO. If you watch carefully, just before the stoppage, Amores cleverly slips a right and counters with a left hook. So he adopts a similar stance, tucked up, chin in, limber, ready to counter again and Zarate just comes with the plan B, straight through the trapdoor, Goodnight and, Good Luck.

    I watched this the other day. An absoloute brutal KO. Also I had Amores winning the first 2 rounds.

    But a seriously good KO.

    I agree with you that Amores does well early, but don't you also think Zarate is slowly changing his fight plan? To me he's becoming less aggressive and looking to counter a little more, which is how he eventually gets caught. I don't think he liked the medicine being aggressive was getting him.

    Also, the two finishing shots are picture perfect uppercuts with opposite hands. And he throws them so relaxed! Not normal.

    I'm glad you like this fight too, it's been a favourite of mine for years.

    It is good, definitly one of the best knockouts I have seen. When I get back from my fight tonight I might watch it if I can remember.

    Right watched it again

    Early on as you say Zarate looked to counter and this allowed Amores to controll the range and pace of the fight as he came in with awkward angles and head movement he was hard to counter. I loved the way he came under with his head and came over with his right hand.

    In the third it seemed Zarate got caught with a shot right at the start of the round and from then he came forward and did not give Amores the time to set his own pace and get his awkward head movement going.

    The knockout was superb the right hand laser guided over Amores's shoulder then a double left hook in behind his right glove. So accurate.

    Ever since you tricked me into believing that stupid comedian Harry Hill was a Saldivar fan, I've decided to give you ****. :good ...That and you do seem to go into silly detail when describing sequences. I bet you rank Zarate higher than Barrera and Morales?

    :lol::lol:

    I like Harry Hill, and honestly I am not pretentious.

    I'm not sure enough about Zarate, so I cant really say if i rate him higher or no.
