Underrated the pair of them. Gregorio Vargas: tough and canny with it, his CV is immense. Old Harry Carpenter once likened 'Hoko' to a threshing machine. @ 36:14 Paul's hooter was already damaged, that right hook done it good & proper!! Two very good men. Great post, again.
Kevin Kelly was a shell of the fighter he was after his brutal encounter with Goya....and Kelly nearly had Naz over...think about that. Cheers ears for the upload from this Stokie.
I remember watching this live at home in Belfast. Hoko was a popular fighter there but I can still remember that Vargas punch in the first round and thinking "oh shit" because of the strength and accuracy. Two warriors.
Yo vi esta pelea allá por 1993... predije que Hodkinson iba a caer entre el 7o. y 8o. round... mis compañeros de trabajo quedaron sorprendidos por la exactitud de mi predicción... tendrían que haber visto la pelea de Marcos Villasana vs Paul Hodkinson, Hoko no varió su estilo de pelea... supuse que igual se iba a cansar a esas alturas de la pelea... acerté. Y tambien conozco a mi gente... los boxeadores Mexicanos son los que mas golpes aguantan, son verdaderos Guerreros, pegan muy fuerte, son los mejores. si vas a apostar, apuesta por los Mexicanos. Saludos.
Igual yo sabia que ganaria Goyo porque lo tenia todo, técnica ponch manejo de ring y buena quijada, además de la gran condición física ya conocida de los atletas Mexicanos. ... después, se desinflo goyo, quien sabe que pasaria.
