Combate a doce asaltos, sin ningún título en juego, entre el carismático Vinny Pazienza y el británico, excampeón mundial del peso wélter, Lloyd Honeyghan.
A prime Honeyghan would have beaten Vinny Pazienza. However, by this stage in his career he was a shot fighter after having taken beatings from Marlon Starling and Mark Breland. In addition Pazienza was a lot stronger because he was a big middleweight. Honeyghan was having to build himself up to reach the middleweight limit, as his normal fighting weight was Super welterweight.
Pazienza's style reminds me slightly of Roberto Duran, and, although finished at world level, Lloyd Honeyghan gives a decent impression of an aging Sugar Ray Leonard. I think Lloyd dropped down to junior middleweight and picked up the Commonwealth title at that weight. Of course, Lloyd's place in boxing history was firmly cemented when he beat the seemingly unbeatable Don Curry in September 1986. Good scrap - thanks for uploading.
