[joeytrimble]

[Kid Achilles]

With an exciting style like his, there'll always be a place for...oh wait.

[The Surgeon]

Dudes a chump! Never saw his fight with Evander and dont intend to

He was looking good for a hot minute until he was robbed against Chris Byrd (yes, that's right, robbed). He was clearly winning that fight 7-3 going into the final two rounds where he ran out of gas and looked like he wanted to quit. Even if you scored both those rounds 10-8 (without a knock down) Fres would have still deserved a draw on my card, 113-113. I gave them 10-9 rounds for Byrd with a final card of 115-113 Fres.

He was also fighting really smart against David Tua and winning every round until he got ****** in the 9th and got KO'd.

Now he's a has-been, tho.

Fres wasn't a nobody. He should have held the IBF title. His fight with Holyfield dropped him at least into the heavyweight division's third ten...

This is a good post to summarize Oquendo's career. I agree that he was absolutely robbed vs. Byrd, and I like Byrd.
