Listen to end of that fight about 11 years ago.Its like a hole another sport their trying to do now.WEith these announcers calling for fights to be stopped over broken hand or other bs.Just take a sec and listen to the way Lamps and some of these other hypocrites called the VERY END of fight and they way they do now.And I don't wanna hear "we know more now about head injury's"EVERYONE in or around boxing knows that shots to the head cause brain injury's.Its been well known since back in the 30s at least.And I think the best way to make boxing safer is to NEVER let guys like Roy Jones or Toney or others who are way past time to keep fighhtin even after many have been blind(pryoror brain damaged(mel Tayler)

That was a hell of a fight! Vazquez has a massive heart, He got dropped with a huge left hook in the 6th(the 2nd time he’d been down in the fight I think) then he came back in that very next round and landed that huge counter right that completely changed the course of the fight.
Such a shame what’s happened with his eye, not surprising really though with all the brutal wars he was in.

Yea it was a great fight.But listen to the way they called VERY END.Mercent all but called Jonny Gonz a quitter.I mean I think he was out of line on that call Gonz was done.But can you believe the DIFFERENCE I mean a fight like that Dr Lamps and DR Kellerman would be screaming to stop it after 1 round.Jonny was down 2wice in 10 and was done but at LEAST he was given a SHOT.You can only make BOXING SO SAFE.Start telling guy to your right(roy jones) to quit fighting if you wanna help stop injurys.

I agree, at the highest level you have to give these guys the chance to continue(within reason of course) or you’d never get these surreal Corrales-Castillo moments, boxing has been and always will be a brutal and unfortunately, sometimes fatal sport, that’s just the nature of the beast. Fighter’s know the risks they take when they enter the ring.

Great post and you could not be more right about Corrales and Castillo.We will PROB never see anything like that.Hell we wont even see Morror v Cooper.That fight gets stopped in 1st and we never prob ever hear anything about Morrer

Today I was watching Cotto vs Mayorga and it was just fun. I enjoy the 00-2010 fights most.

You should also check out 80s and 90s.Yea watching Mayorga fight is almost always fun or was.I remember him letting Tito nail him with like 3 left hooks in a row and did not flinch.And then later in 1st Tito catches him with shot he did not see and hurt him.

I just watched that fight last week, sometimes I let fights play on youtube on my TV while I'm doing **** around the house and that one came on, had to sit my ass down and pay attention. Larry and Jim were NOT happy that Jhonny got stopped. Miracle comeback from Vazquez, man.

In the modern day both guys would get stopped with the trouble they were in, in RD 1.
The uppercut Moorer ended that fight with was quality, Cooper was still complaining about the stoppage as well😂
Great Fight.

I usually end up never finishing what I start because of it
