Bobby Chacon with one of the biggest undestatements you'll ever hear: "We're both durable. I think you'll see a good 12 round fight." Yes, Bobby, we did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though it's many years later I have to tell you what a thrill it is to have known such a fighter with such heart he has taken such punishment and he has thrown punch after punch had showed how powerful he really was in that ring against Many We luv his entire reign In the box
Poor Bobby this kid had guts like no other old school boxing never made the big money of today of course tragic life wife committed suicide and his son killed in a gang fight and in the end school boy died with nothing and punch drunk. He was tough though. Love ya Bobby RIP
1 of the 3 best fights ever.... slightly ahead of Chacon-Limon 4 (because its a little higher paced).... & slightly behind Morales-Barrera 1 (because its a bit more technically skilled) Amazing fight, brilliant.
Watch Foreman vs Lyle....Its starts at the staredown......Heavyweights laying down the thunder.....Unbelievable war. But still...I loved watching Chacon fights.....and Boza Edwards....
Great fight! I love watching the lighter weight fights in the 80’s. Okay, unanimous decision? No. A split decision for Chacon you say? I have no problem with that call. The fight to me could have gone either way. For those of you that say round 1 was not a knockdown, I’ll say check your rules. The knockdown came from the end of a punch. The fighters’ feet were not tangled up nor was there a push or shove that followed the punch delivered by Chacon. It was a flash knockdown and Edwards immediately rose to his feet. It’s a no brainer 10-8 round for Chacon.
Dr Pacheco kept imploring the officials to stop the fight. Then boom, Chacon wins on a late rally. Even if it was controversial. Bobby gets on fight of the year in back to back years.
Chacon was too brave for his own good and ended up paying the ultimate price. In his latter days he was so badly affected by Dementia Pugilistica (punch-drunk) that he could hardly speak.
My bother and I got in a fight over this. Duran/Cuevas was being shown on another network (a rebroadcast) and this was live. I was a fan of all these fighters, so I don’t recall which one I wanted to see. Regardless, I was 15, he was 13 so I won. Also I think we got in a fistfight that my father allowed. I think I won.
one of the most Incredible boxing performance in have ever seen determination and Pacheco was exposed for his biased one side commentary afterwards you have to take the champions belt and the champions wasn't having it God bless skool boy Bobby Chacon
Amazing war,better than against Chacon,because here,the punches were less "haymaked" and more "thought".I don't understand something:why a lot of these fantastic fights are watchable in accelerated motion?
The Decision was Bullshit! They should've stopped the fight in the 9th round the way Chacon was bleeding. Chacon scored that knockdown in the last round that's all that was.
I met boza in Glasgow the night he annihilated Jerome artis on the undercard of Jim Watts victory over Howard Davis jnr, Couldn't meet a nicer man,pure gentleman. What a fight this was ,boza and chacon were warriors ...r.i.p bobby
boza edwards won this fight. it was a hometown decision. the so-called knockdown in round 1 was a slip...but even with that, chacon only won 3 rounds...boza dominated him for most of 9 rounds. the score should have been 115-112 for boza
Dentsun4228 Not only that but Chacon was so cut up they threatened to stop it as early as the sixth round. Watch Chacon-Arguello. Chacon is cut, but not nearly as badly as in this fight, and they stop it at the end of the round (7th). It's obvious the doctor in this fight, Flip Homansky, should have stopped it about the 7th round. Chacon was taking a beating in the early and mid rounds. Sure, he somehow came back, but he took a beating and now he is totally punch drunk. That same ring doctor, stopped JC Chavez/Randall II When Chavez was cut on the forehead by a headbutt. Randall and Boza both screwed by boxing politics.
I can’t not believe these referee what ever his name is has been A referee since back then then Was never good referee f I don’t see why never threw out we need mores opportunity to Mexicanos referees Plus our race do much more better work than these what ever his name is
