Looking back on: Pernell Whitaker vs. Diosbelys Hurtado

[dorruel2.0]

Hurtado knocked Pernell down two times, then Hurtado lost two points which nullified the knockdowns, then Pernell lost a point for 'punching in the back of the head'. So it was a pretty neck and neck matchup until Whitaker scored a devastating knockout. Looks like Arthur Mercante Jr. didn't know what he was doing back then either!

Any thoughts on this match?

it was an awesome fight. I believe sweet pea was on the decline tho. I disagree with you , because i think Mercante Jr. is one of the best in the business.
