Impressive display of punching power.

Impressive display of punching power.

** Brilliantly efficient and compact punching, one of the best briefest displays ever.

Fernandez was one of the big bulls of the era and a major upgrade in Carter's comp. He got chopped down after barely clearing the starting gate.

Carter threw away a fine career. Interesting how this intimidator would only look down at his shoes in the intros. Heard so many stories about Carter hanging out in bars in sleeveless shirts staring down unwary patrons with his mere presence.

Muchos garcias mi amigo.

I believe it was you who posted the Hurricane Carter-Florentino Fernandez video on youtube. Thanks for uploading some great boxing footage.

Similar to his blow out of Griffith. He did have an amazing left hook. One of the best, short seen I think.
