I remember watching this one live with 3 mates ,Hard to believe it was nearly 20 years ago now,

Gomez lived up in Ballymun for a time as a kid , he had a really rough life growing up ,

He was born in the back of his Dad's car after this Da crashed on the way to hospital , you couldn't make it up

McCullough v Morales is another great fight. McCullough was in a lot of great fights. Must have had one of the best chins ever in boxing.

Thanks for that.

I actually attended that fight, but never watched it on screen since.

My abiding memory was that it was a real tough, gruelling fight that Wayne did just enough to win.

I don't think there were any, but I'd love to have seen the punchstats for that fight. Both of them never stopped throwing the whole night.

Just thought of this cracker a few days ago. I saw it on International Fight Night on UTV back in the mid 1980s. It features the best knockdown I ever saw. EVER!! God only knows how the floored boxer got up, but he did, and quite quickly, but his jaw was broken and he was retired in the corner.

Loris Stecca (Italy) was a high quality boxer with an impressive record who won the super-bantam title but lost it in Puerto Rico to local man Victor Callejas. Stecca won five fights by KO and there was a rematch in Italy in front of a very passionate crowd. This is what happened.

Watched this again recently. Fight of the Year 1995.

Mexican icon Humberto 'Chiquita' Gonzalez v Thai challenger Saman Sorjaturong for the undisputed world title.

Two aggressive big-punchers go at it. Enjoy.

Wildly exciting Mexican cult hero Jorge Arce was in loads of entertaining scraps and this was one of the best.

His opponent was tough, well-schooled Aussie Hussein Hussein and they produced a cracker.

This was only back in 2020, but it didn't really get the exposure you'd expect as it was during lockdown.

If there was a crowd they would have gone mental.

Only discovered this barnburner recently when I heard about the death of former bantam champ Richie Sandoval. I read about his brother Alberto and there was a mention of his war with Alfonso Zamora. Zamora was one half of the famous Mexican bantam world unification 'Battle of the Z men" with Carols Zarate. Going into that fight they had a combined record of (wait for it) 74-0 with 73 KOs!!! Shock horror, it didn't go the distance.

Alberto Sandoval had just one loss in 29 by cuts, was classy, tough and could punch. Zamora was extremely dangerous early, but was deemed to have stamina issues due to inconsistent training habits. Enjoy.
