juan laporte, very good, iron chinned. He fought like a true latino, forward, rarely hugging, no running.

LOL what is Ron Jeremy doin there? check out the guy in the grey n black suit at the end of the fight. on a more serious note, LaPorte was one of my faves growin up. i used to autograph my boxing gloves with my idols name on them such as Gomez, Benitez, and JLP. i agree with cbald those were the days when big fights were on reg. network tv. JLP had sum big fights vs. a very “dirty” but talented Eusebio Pedroza wish i could find those fights on youtube.

CBS used to have some GREAT fights. Duran/Hearns, Lopez/Lockridge, Brown/Trice (very underrated fight), Mancini/Arguello, Mancini/Bramble…it’s too bad they stopped showing fights. Hell, it’s really too bad bastards like King didn’t realize the value of building fighters up on NETWORK TV
