Another fight I didn't get nearly as excited about as everyone else did. Quiroga died too by the way.
How good were the second and third fights between Humberto Gonzalez and Michael Carbajal? I thought the first one was pretty good, but **** it was one-sided for Gonzalez until his ass got KO'd by one of the hardest punches I have ever seen.Comment

KA/RQ was a brutal fight. Those guys fought their asses off.
Good fights between Carbs and Chiquita, but the first will always be the most memorable. It is often forgotten how good Humberto Gonzalez was. I thought he was always a step ahead of Carbajal in their trilogy, but Carbs awesome power really bailed him out in the first bout. Wouldn't be the last time as Arce found out...Comment

Are you serious mate? What does "the little guys are blazing fast and highly skilled which is why I like them" and then "I didn't watch them..I'm an upper weight class guy" mean?
Anyway, I will simply never understand why some guys don't like the lower weight classes. They're generally more exciting fights and the competition is often much stronger and the actual fighters are more competitive because the talent is always much stronger at the lower weights.
To have missed this trilogy is to have missed easily one of the greatest ever in the history of the sport. Also, to the guy that said it was just brawling, mate, you need to go and watch again. It was two highly skilled fighters, one of which was a very talented boxer/puncher and the other a very skilled pressure fighter. It is the perfect classic match up. Will the fighter make the boxer fight? Can the boxer keep the fighter off? etc etc. It was simply the perfect match up between two perfectly suited fighters! How the hell could you not like it?!?!?

I really thought their third fight was fantastic. The second one wasn't as good as the first and third, much like Barrera/Morales, but the third was really great.
Gonzales was such a great fighter. The funny thing in the first fight was the way he fought it. Every time he got on the inside Carbajal started to beat him up and land really hard punches and then when he would stay on the outside he would win easily. I still don't understand why he just kept on going to the inside when he was getting hit so hard there, when he was winning fairly easily on the outside and doing so much better work....?
The hooks that Carbajal were landing were brutal and yet he was only landing them when Gonzales came to the inside. Fighters do strange things sometimes.
Edit: just a little fact I remembered. That was the first fight in history in which the little guys were paid a million bucks for the fight.Comment
