The fight that made a legend :blessed:


RIP:sadcam:


This fight is an amazing display of skill on the part of Salvador Sanchez's. He counters Wilfredo at every turn of the fight, and uses his superior speed to stay ahead of Wilfredo. If Sal didn't die, he goes on to become one of best Mexican fighters ever.

Lettuce discuss the amazing performance that Sal put on. Next week on Wednesday I got another treat for the guys (no homo:lol7414:smile:.


Completely unrelated, but I saw a great documentary about Divac and Drazen Petrovic. RIP. Can't find a link but it was a 30 for 30 (Once Brothers) . Drazen being a young star dying young in life inspired me to make this thread. Both had to get over a speed bump early. Sal lost to Becerra and Drazen was stuck on a team that didn't need him (the Blazer had Drexler and terry porter). The dualities. :wow:

A Mexican beating up a Rican :mjcry:

Salvador Sanchez was a great fighter though. I personally agree with @SuikodenII that he would have been bigger than JCC. It's a damn shame we didn't get see his career play out.

And BTW, Bazooka Gomez was the GOAT Super Bantamweight. I'd take him over any fight ever at 122

How do you think he would've faired against Morales or Post-Junior Jones Barrera?

Or.............RiGOAT?

At 122 I think he beats both Morales and Barrera. Although I would favor Morales at the higher weights.

Gomez vs Rigo would be a great fight. I think Rigo would outbox him in the beginning, Bazooka however would eventually catch him with some hard shots. Mind you he's one of the hardest hitters ever P4P. Rigo takes a hard clean shot like he did against Donaire, he's not getting up. Gomez via TKO
