Sweet Pea vs. Chavez

[oldgringo]

nope...he already lost his battle with drugs

Yep, the booze and blow had started to land straight right hands and left hooks by '96/'97.

I thought Oscar won that fight.

[El Dominicano]

In my eyes, he beat Ramirez, Chavez and DLH.

Same here man

I thought Oscar won that fight.

Not a chance. Pernell frustrated DLH and dictated the entire fight. Imagine what a prime Pete would have done.

I agree with you at the end of the fight Oscar really did not look like a winner, no confidence at all.

I just finished watching "The Fight" for the first time in two years. Aside from the pathetic, biased commentary, this is one of my most bittersweet moments with boxing. Pernell is one of my all time favorites, and he gives Chavez a boxing lesson. The robbery is the worst in the history of the sport, IMO, but was a theme in his career. Two questions, how did you score the fight? And why did Chavez duck a rematch?

Chavez "won" more then a couple fights that he clearly lost...Pea is just one example.
