Absolute top moment - Terrible going southpaw against Pac
Vazquez - Marquez III, after an absolutely brutal war (which I thought Rafa was winning), seeing if Rafa could last to victory (turned out he lost a SD) as Izzy tagged that ass.
Of course Corrales - Castillo I "you better effin get inside on him now" how was Goose so calm and direct?
What i like is that sometimes the most electric moments just happen w/out your expectation:
Valero v. Mosquero - Panama City was pushing for their guy HARD. I could feel the electricity through the TV set. Valero was taxing that ass, but Mosquero had a turnaround for some of the middle rounds and the arena exploded and kept pushing... vainly
Seeing Martin Castillo, one of my favorites, just completely undress Alex Munoz, who was an absolute killer.
Brewster v Liakovich (sp) going to war as most HWs dont.
young Gallo Estrada - completely unknown to me -- giving Chocolatito hell in their fight.
old JM Marquez proving that he was still a champ v. Juan Diaz.
crafty Siri Salido just dominating JuanMa Lopez
Chino Maidana taxing Broner
i could go on.
Oh, and the one that turned me on to boxing. Seeing a young Mexican kid with a Mexifro (like me) absolutely school Little Red Lopez. I had seen Mexican boxers as the stereotype "tough, but not technically skilled" -- Well Sal Sanchez was tough AND absolutely skilled.
I was also a big Holmes fan. Seeing him undress Cooney was big. And also, for some reason, seeing him dropkick a dude off a car was something that sticks in my mind.
