Much respect

I still can’t get over how his own brother did him wrong.

That's very cool. Cabajal rocked the 90s with his action style. His first fight with Chiquita Gonzalez is an absolute classic. It's hard to find a better fight. Cong****, Champ!

[Malvado]

One of the hardest hitters at light flyweight, wrongfully robbed of a Golden Olympic Medal, 5 time champion at the division and had wins over champions like Will Grigsby, Muangchai Kittikasem, Josue Camacho, Melchor Cob Castro, Humberto Gonzalez (ATG) and Jorge Arce (ATG).

Wonder how Humberto Gonzalez and Michael Carbajal would had faired against Ricardo Lopez at the latter stage of his career.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Carbajal ending his career with a win against travieso Arce was a magnificent way to end a legacy.

There couldn’t have been a more perfect ending to a great career when most fighters can only dream about retiring on a high note. Gonzalez bout was great and all but when I think of Carbajal, Arce fight comes to mind. That was a thing of legend, something you see in movies.

Finito Lopez vs Michael Carbajal would have been awesome.

[real raw]

I'd forgotten how good he was. Awesome fighter

[SUBZER0ED]

Carbajal fought in an era when most of the fighters were MEN. You didn't hear all of this pansy-ass crap about a mandatory challenger not "deserving" a fight, or the defending champ asking for a king's ransom to fight his mandatory challenger. Also, Michael fought frequently, including 10 (!) times in his pro debut year and even 4 times in his last year in the sport.

[The D3vil]

What a brilliant fighter & I've heard he's been through a hell of a lot.

It's good to see.
