Interesting fight Lastarza was able to fend himself off really well, all in the pocket, supposedly Lastarza weighed 185lbs in this fight so the same size Caleb Plant walks around at as far as modern day size comparison.

- - La Starza was purt fair in his day.

Thanks for reminding us of the curse of a slugger when he fails to knock out a fighter or takes too long.
