...aka Olympic finals First, the 1984 Olympic lightweight (132) final. Pernell Whitaker (USA) vs the young, power puncher, Luis Ortiz of Puerto Rico. ]
No shit I just watched Carruth Vs Hernandez the other day, Barcelona 1992, Welterweight. Carruth lucked out stylistically. The range advantage Hernandez had was massive but Carruth was able to land these wide southpaw hooks that were eye catching. Ferdie Pacheco talked a lot of shit in that broadcast
Some guys have speed in the truest sense of the word....other guys have speed in a certain situation. Carruth was the latter. At mid range he seemed able to close that gap at speed and get his right hand off. Pacheco knew nothing about boxing. Should have been given his own show talking about cuts and bruises.
