I don't believe it has been. That was definitely a clinic from Locche, he made Fuji look like a fool, I ended up feeling sorry for him.Originally posted by SNVDoublePunch! View Post
For those who haven't seen it or are looking to see it again.

Giovanni Segura vs Ivan Calderon - It's a shame this fight didn't get that much coverage, not only from the main****** media, which is understandable but from the boxing media as well, a lot of sites decided that the whole Toney/MMA thing was more newsworthy. They were wrong.
A unification fight between two of the best 108 pounders in the world, the fight started off seemingly going to plan for Calderon, who managed to use the 24 foot ring to outbox the onrushing Segura but amidst all the jabs and movement of Calderon, Segura was wearing the older Calderon down by focusing almost exclusively to the body. It all seemed to build up on Calderon in the 5th round where he had to rest for breathers while Segura kept punching away at him punctuated with a slip that could've been called a knockdown. Calderon's legs never completely recovered from that onslaught and even though he tried to stay off the ropes he never had the legs to stay off them for long periods of time. His last stand came in the 7th where he managed to outbox Segura but the older man with the older legs couldn't keep it up and it ended with him on his knee after another onslaught from Segura in the 8th.
Might be one of the leading candidates for FOTY for 2010.
A sidenote, those commentators on the Integrated Sports PPV were very biased for Calderon, didn't recognize Segura for a lot of work he was doing.Last edited by Silencers; 08-30-2010, 04:08 AM.Comment

I felt bad for him too. A guy whose heavy hands are his main attribute and he can scarcely lay a grazing shot on his opponent for the entire fight, getting scuffed up like he was. The fact that he was the linear champion, and young, and getting completely embarrassed...just a must-see performance.Comment

Junior Jones vs Orlando Canizales - Maybe not the most action packed fight but good fight with lots of skills displayed between the two fighters. Junior Jones was hailed as the predecessor to Orlando Canizales when Canizales was considered the best 118 pounder in the world and when Jones was one of the hottest prospects in boxing. Unfortunately they never fought when they were both nearer their best. Nevertheless, it was a very good fight, Jones using his reach on the outside to outbox Canizales, Canizales came forward as the aggressor, both guys got wobbled a couple of times in the fight and it was a high workrate affair with, again, very good skills shown. One of the best fights in 1996. It was unlucky to be on the undercard of Arturo Gatti vs Wilson Rodriguez which overshadowed this bout.Comment
