They skip rds,could not find a full fight..Which sucks..I wanted to get a real full taste of his style..But from watching some vids,it seems like I got it..Pep was a tricky son of a gun..Like to pump his jab and keep his legs moving..He was always in position to punch(from the vids I've seen anyway),if he got trapped..He became very physical..Grab and tossed his opponent,but the way he did it was so smooth..Very good fighter,I wish I seen a whole fight..If somebody has a full fight post it please!!!!

When people evaluate old fighters they assume that they would be fighting today in their current form with no access to the advanced training that current fighters have.
If you combine those pure boxing skills, with the training techniques that are available today, you would be unstoppable.
Bernard Hopkins is schooling these young boys in his mid 40's because of skills and technique. Imagine if he had the youth and athleticism to go along with it.
