I'm lost, Butterfly...What do you have?

Oops! I did the wrong quote. Look at it again.

I loved this fight when it happened. Alexis Arguello the body punching technician. Watch the right uppercut to the solar plexus that does Ganigan in. That's why he wasn't even attempting to get up. Great ramrod left jab and accurate straight rights as well. A well schooled technical fighter. Kudos to Eddie Futch.

Cornelias Boza Edwards allegedly soiled his trunks so intense was Arguello's body attack in their 1980 fight.

I seem to remember Rueben Castillo also getting stopped by Arguello with body punches, just off the top of my head...hope my memory hasn't failed me.

Alex was a big favourite of mine back in the day, and you are definately correct in calling him a "body punching technician"...One of the very best body punchers I've ever seen avtually, and from memory there was a whole bunch of truth to that story about Boza pooping himself against Arguello. It's been a while since I've seen the fight, but I do still have a faded memory of Boza having a fair sized brown stain on the back of his trunks, which was easily seen as he was wearing light (either white, or a slightly off-white) coloured trunks.

I offered this fight to K-Dogg the other day, so I figured I might as well upload for you other guys...

A couple of big punching 122 pounders having a go at it, and not suprisingly, the fists were a flyin' and this one ended early. I guess it's another one that would fit into both the "left hook from hell" and "short, but sweet" categories...

Juan 'Kid' Meza vs. Jaime Garza;

From the very brink of defeat to one of the great comebacks in boxing history...

Archie Moore vs. Yvon Durelle I;

Many of you might already have this one or have seen it, but for those who don't/didn't...

Enjoy!

Oh and by the way, if any of you guys are into reading boxing bios I'd highly recommend Durelle's bio called 'The Fighting Fisherman'. Lots of boxing talk in there with some good descriptions of his fights & travels...The rough & gruff Durelle comes across as quite the character in the book (lots of swearing and such), as well, but he still has a mostly "everyday man" side to him which is easy to relate to.

I'd give you karma if i could. Thank you.

Here's some more Hagler for you, Yaman, although this fight was when he had already shown signs of slipping by that point in time...
