Mancini was an excellent contender and demonstrated great heart, but Arguello is one of the all-time greats and demonstrated the patience and stamina to wait for the opening he needed. Alexis embodies class and is a true credit to the sport.
Totally agree with your statement
I agree with you. It's shameful they put him against doped up pryor
@@charlesrussell6305 💯
Why didn't Duran n Arguello ever fight?
Boom Boom was alot more than a "contender" the guy was headed on to be a lightweight GOAT contender if not for the Kim fight which just broke him as a Catholic.
I mean he is a literal kid here coming in as a massiveeeee underdog fighting one of the other all time greats in Alexis... And not only held his own but was winning an even amount of rounds heading into the end of the 9th.
Ray is a fucking monster of a fighter
As a former Golden Gloves boxer in 1985-1987 the highest compliment I ever received was being told I fought like Alexis Arguello. I was very thin like Arguello and most wondered where the power came from. 😆 My main weapon was my right cross. Arguello's was legendary and devastating. RIP Champ.
@@metalwawi0313 Exactly right! OMG! Talk about pain. 😂 Holy God. Head shots never fazed me - in fact guys hurt their fists on my head but those body shots were demonic. 😂
The way Alexis hugged Ray and pinched his cheek like he was his favorite nephew... a classy man indeed. May he rest in peace.
He was such a handsome man! Wow! And his accent was sexy too
@@deniseherbert8209 he was known for extra marital stuff-think most of them probably all of them
AAAAAhhh back in the day when boxing existed on regular tv. I remember seeing this fight as a lot of fights were broadcast on the tube. I could name all the fighters then,now Im lucky I dont know boxing even exists now. Yes Alex impressed me not only his masterful boxing lesson he gave to Mancini, but his gentlemen approach after the fight. A genuine class act.A memory for ever!
Arguello just the classiest dude to ever lace up gloves. RIP.
Sube Borracho. Invita unas hermano😛😝😛
Boom boom was a heck of a fighter, but he couldn’t get over the lose of the life of the fighter he fought. The fighters corner should have been thrown the towel in it. The fighter said he would rather die than go back home defeated and he went out on his shield and never woke up again.
He truly fought for a living, wow 71 fights
Yes,absolutely..He oozed class! He stepped into the Ring& straight away strolls over&shakes there Hands!! Classy ⭐ ⭐ ✨ ⭐ ⭐ After winning the fight by tko,he conducts a sensible,coherent interview(which is not easy under the circumstancesl)and then graciously shows immense respect to his opponent!..This is the 'Blue Print' for a champ!
Absolutely
I watched this epic fight and Alexis Arguello was one of my favorites back in the 80s. Mancini wasn`t ready for someone like Arguello. The boxing today is not even close to the skill and talent of the 80s.
In the golden era of boxing Mayweather or Pacquiao would have won at least the golden gloves or the title of Philippines champion
Yep 👍
I WATCHED RAY WIN THE MIDDLE ROUNDS,HE FOUGHT A TOUGH FIGHT
But Alexis Arguello' DIDN'T Really Fight To Win
In Any Of The Rounds,,,
He looked like he was boxing
His Mother,,,
"Didn't Want To Hurt Or Insult
Ray"...
"FIXED FIGHT"!!!!!!!
Absolutely
Man, this video is like gold. Mancini is really the main reason I started watching boxing as a kid. Of course Alexis Arguello is one of the all-time greats and he was so gracious and humble the way he consoled Mancini after the fight. And the announcing team of Tim Ryan and Gil Clancy was one of the best. Never missed those Saturday afternoon fights on CBS. Great upload. Memories.
I watched all the CBS fights too. Great days of boxing
Arguello knew Mancini was just a kid with the heart of a lion so he went to his corner to let him know he had a whole future ahead the loss was just a lesson part of the journey
YES IN DEED! THESE ARE CLÀSIC FIGHTS!!🤕🤕🥊🥊🥊🥊
I love boom boom but really.. he is the reason you watch boxing
Why didn't Duran n Argello fight?
Arguello was classy boxing master. He would never intentionally hurt his opponent, a true professional with the highest respect for the sport and his adversary. A man who transcended the sport and took it to public office. May he rest in peace.
Well said. I completely agree.
He would never intentionally hurt his opponent? Boxing is a hurt game ,dude!
Alexis would lull you to sleep and then, BANG!! He was such a master in the ring. I took so much from him. Guys would yell at me to get busy and I'd kill the body.
@@davidrosado9642 I think he meant he did not want to cause harm to anyone. Of course punches to the head can cause permanent damage to the brain but in the 80's no one thought about that.
Would never intentionally hurt anybody??? He almost separated Mancini's head from his shoulders.
I remember this fight. I certainly admired Alexis Arguello but I was rooting for Ray that night. I felt so disappointed when Ray lost, for him. for his family, for me. Ray's spirit and and Alexis' class are constant inspirations for me.
I was a big time Arguello fan but i liked Mancini and glad when he became champion. He took the title from Art Frias another thought fighter from East LA in a one round slug fest.
El Flaco Explosivo! El Caballero De El Ring

It was a fore gone conclusion😊
Que boxeador exquisito, simple, efectivo,sin desperdiciar golpes, atlético,una gran persona,mí hijo Alexis lleva su nombre,un ídolo aquí desde Argentina 👍👍
I remember watching this fight on CBS Sports Spectacular (Saturday). I was a fan of Arguello.
70 wins, 4 losses, 3 division champ V 20 wins. Mancini did well to get beyond the first 3 rds. Aguello's one of the classiest fighters ever.

Gran homre y k hay de los hortega?
Unlike most if the Boxers today,, These guys were all class
I remember Roman Gonzalez..a protégé of Arguello .a class act just like Alexis n a former 1 p4p fighter.not much is said abt him now in boxing groups.makes me wonder now that I think abt him...
Alexis tan grande como noble,unico
Arguello Puerto Rico love you
Alexis Arguello, a true gentleman both inside and outside the ring. RIP champ!
aaron pryor Arguello had close to 80 fights by the time that beast Pryor overwhelmed him. Pryor was NO pussycat, more like a tiger. Alexis was getting worn by then but could still beat most guys not named Aaron Pryor.
Aaron Pryer also CHEATED in their fight by taking a stimulant in the bottle that was mixed for him. You don't mix plain water which is the only legal substance allowed between rounds.
Aaron crack head Pryor
@@Chief2Moon Pryor cheated in that fight. It was so clear to see. Crystal meth in that water bottle. Enough said.
@@wyldvigilante y me sorprende aún más que nadie comenta, que un asistente en su esquina después de la botella, le pasa los dedos en la nariz a Pryor y este suspira profundamente, acaso nadie lo noto? Jamás he escuchado un comentario al respecto, si alguien lo noto comentarlo porfavor
Mancini gave it all he had but the experience of Arguello proved to be the crucial element to get him to win the fight. It was gruesome to watch the punishment Mancini took from the eleventh round on. To lose to Alexis Arguello fighting like the way Mancini did is nothing to be ashamed of.
I love these two boxers especially Alexis arguello for his humbleness.
Arguello, a tough fighter and a gentleman in and outside the box. RIP Alex.

@eloyhern 2:4andoluquelujan4509 Casi por no decir todos hallan un oponente que los derrote. Ejemplo ; Tyson vs Holyfield, Durán vs Hearns, Chávez vs Randall, Pacquiao vs Marquez etc.
"I'm a 15 round fighter. He's a 10 round fighter." That pretty much summed it up.
Interesting as that certainly changed for Mancini, at least eventually. Dude literally kills a man in the 15th round like 8 years after this.
@@Cubroncs03 he saw a weakness, and he addressed it. That is a champion.
@@Cubroncs03like 2-3 years late Ray was barley 20 years old vs a 3x world champ 28 (he needed a few more fights) to fight a great like Alexis
I talked to Arguello a couple of times, I've heard from himself the story of a couple of his fights, one of them was the one first vs. Pryor and as the teenager that I was, I asked him: "He really cheated on you with some drug?" He told me that, after lillte black bottle episode happened, he felt like his punches did not have any effect on Pryor anymore and literally told to my father and me: "I hit him with all my might, twice and one third time. I realized that I had no more options to win and I prefered to let the referee to finish the count when I was knocked down". He was a real man, a gentleman like no other in history,
You’ve never talked to him 😂😂
@@georgefromdownthehall3334 - How the F do you know, loser?
Aaron Pryor most definitely was under the influence and he should have been subject to more thorough investigation. What really gets me is that he had no reason to resort to that. He was talented and wasnt like he needed a knockout.

😊😊😊😊
Oh, what a comedian! I'm Nicaraguan and my father's a sports caster you little hater.
You gotta love the diversity here folks, An Italian American hometown hero in Mancini, a Latin American hero from Nicaragua in Arguello with a tremendous ring experience advantage and a top rated referee in Tony Perez who is Puerto Rican and has been a ref at some of boxing's best fights between the greats of boxing such as the second Muhammad Ali vs Frazier fight and countless others gave this fight a feeling of magnitude of importance. The fight took place in New Jersey in the United States of America, what more could you ask for.
P0il
Latinos Italians pols Jews blks boxing has no color but this was a changing of the guard era I feel now the boxing scene is heavily Latin in USA with a surge in Eastern Europeans now also boxing is a crazy sport it morphs with the times
I REMEMBER THIS FIGHT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY! A GREAT TIME FOR BOXING FANS!! MÀNCINI'S NEXT FIGHT ENDED WITH THE DEATH OF DOO KOO KIM , MANCINI WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT LIKÉ ARGUELLO ÀFTER THE PRIOR FIGHT!!🥊🥊🥊🥊
Arguello was truly a professional. He will kick your butt in that ring, but when the fight ends, displays a sportsmanship that is to be admired. He was one if not my favorite favorite growing up. He is truly missed. Para “El Flaco Explosivo” fuiste un boxeador que como niño te admiré mucho. Fuiste gran campeon pero un mejor ser humano. RIP. Que en Paz descanse. 🙏🏼😢
Alexis Arguello was a great champion and even a better person. I admired his great skill and grace. Boxing would do well to have more fighters with his character and compassion. He was a true gentleman and warrior at the same time. RIP Champ!

Two great champions. One just starting to age, and the other just one step away from greatness.
Excellent classic fight between two Hall of Famers. Plus the post match interview really showed what class act Alexis was.
I always remembered this fight because of the post fight interview.
A Great Fight I was totally impressed with Arguello. Mancini pressed him early but Arguello coolly and methodically took Boom Boom apart. Arguello was a master boxer
Your second sentence summed it all up.
Very well stated.
A 20 year old 20 fights he wasn’t ready yet
The crowd has so much energy. Can't remember that last recent boxing match I've watched with that much energy.
ARGUELLO WAS PURE CLASS , MANCINI WAS A BRICK WALL , JUST TOO YOUNG FOR A GREAT CHAMPION LIKE ALEXIS ARGUELLO . CREDIT TO BOTH OF THEM .
Thank you for posting this fight. This is how I wish all fights went, they almost didn't need a referee in there. There were two breaks and then the final stoppage, but other than that, he was a spectator like we were.
He was killed by sandinista regime, but the covered up as a suicide. He got involved in local politics and then betrayed until they finish his life. May he RIP.
Alexis siempre me recuerda a ese gallo tan fino y pura sangre Carlos Zárate , que fue y será gran orgullo mejicano, uno de los mejores gallos de la historia , sino el mejor. Mancini el Roky marciano moderno , lastima que busco ese título con un fuera de serie , aunque perder con Alexis Argüello no era una vergüenza, si no un orgullo.

Aaron the Hawk Pryor didnt obviously think so he toyed and destroyed Alexis
@@allancarter4055 Aaron himself always spoke highly of Alexis so your comment is meaningless in that regard. Aaron did beat Alexis twice, but by that stage Alexis had already established himself as an ATG.
What a champion Arguello was. So cool and composed under pressure. Real good fight and two great guys.
Un lujo de deportista un orgullo Nicaragüense y mi ídolo de toda la vida
R.I.P. Alex best fighter of all time , a true spirit n a general in the ring . He never was cocky fellow, just box the hell out of the you 👍😎
Alexis Arguello ,one of the greatest fighters that ever lived, possibly cheated out of a Fourth World Title .
aaron pryor drug addict and drug cheat and i do feel good about it not in the same class as Alexis jumior hawk.
aaron pryor Aaron didn't have the discipline to STAY good, cola ruined the guy's career. Record to record- Pryor can't come close to the same level of achievement. Just stating plain fair facts, so you can crow about Aaron all you want, but ask yourself who's career lasted longer or finished with better numbers. Case closed.
@@Chief2Moon He needed the blow” 😳 to beat Alexis 🥊I’m almost 58 and remember that very well !
@@depaola63 I watched that fight live and believed the same thing, prior was jacked up. Sad really. Arguello was a class act in and out of the ring.
He was and he couldn't recover after that cheating.
They called Alexis - 'The explosive thin Man' a truly Great Fighter, and a real class act all the way. Ray boom boom was determined as hell, and a very strong fighter, known for his toughness and tenacity.

Mancini only 20 yrs old in there with a veteran did very well for himself even though he lost
Pete Rosario That's why Arguello predicted Ray would be champ someday
Those dagos are tough fighters. You knew he was going to give everything for his dad. God bless Ray for that.
I still remember as I watched Mancini's previous fight on TV. Arguello was at ringside. During Mancini's post-fight interview, he said he wanted Arguello next. ever-ambitious as he was in his career, Mancini respectfully pointed to Arguello with a thumbs-up type gesture, and said, "I want HIM." :)
I saw some of the greatest fights in the 70's & 80's on ABC's "Wide World Of Sports" and on "CBS Sports Saturday": even before cable set in and took over.
@Cucakings59 Or the track meets and circus shows of today.
Alexis Arguello earned the respect and admiration of the majority of the American public after the fight when he was so nice and complimentary to the young Mancini and his dad. Arguello was the nicest toughest champion fighter of all time.
Alexis, un caballero y campeonazo de todos los tiempos.
One of my all TIME favorite fighters of boxing history is Alxis...what a classy title fight. A fight i watch periodically. a grizzled but classy champion vs an upcoming superstar. Great fight!
I remember watching this fight at a friends house, the good old days when fights like this where on network TV for free.

I use to work at Caesar’s Palace here in Las Vegas, and I used to go to see training, for the fight against Araron Pryor, he’s was such a great fighter,, and a great person, we talk about other fights, very simple man, RIP.
Alexis is such a good man you can see it. Very humble and compassionate champion. Plus awesome fighter.
Arguello vs Pryor 1 n 2. Best fights of the century. Both tough fighters. These 2 should never fight again, they kill each other. Arguello unfortunately is dead now. Boxing fans missed this gentleman

@@shawndayvis6169 Really lucky! I was in Air Force basic training in San Antonio, we received our town pass, some guys went to the drag races, others went to the River Walk, I was the only one that picked the fights, They told me Arguello was fighting, Is there any other choice!!! To tell you the truth, it was a boring fight, he fought Vilomar Fernandez, who ran the whole fight!!! Unanimous Decision for Arguello...
@@jamoney45 ....thanks for the story , and thanks for your service .
Alexis was another of my fav boxers. The boxers in that day were just that, they were the art. I didn't see when Alexis fought Aaron Pryor, but, was shocked to learn Alexis lost. It later came out that Aaron had been "juicing" . It was also said his trainer cheated on the wrap and also issued stimulants.. Although Alexis admitted Aaron beat him fairly, I'm more than certain there was bigger play in those fights.
Ray will always be my favorite fighter. Not only is he one of the greats to lace em up at light but he is also a wonderful and heroic man. Proud Catholic, blue collar Irish Italian kid, heart of lion and fists as good as they come. LOVE YA RAY, THANKS FOR GETTING A 4 YEAR OLD INTO A SPORT HE HAS BEEN IN NON STOP FOR 35 YEARS
He was a punching bag for everyone 😂
Saturday afternoon, tv with legit title fight. Alexis absolute technician of a boxer, and Ray , as a 20 year old going in against a legend, and doing really well, what a warrior he was, and just a kid here really. Both fighters greeting each other with smiles and respect,..... a great time in boxing, those were fun days. Thanks for the upload, well done.
Que bárbaro Alexis tenía dinamita en ambas manos 💪💪💥💯
I think Alexis carried him to the late rounds so he would make his father proud. He even took punishment for it, but It looked like he could have let loose at just about any time and finished Ray. Arguello is one of the classiest fighters of all time. A true gentleman.
I had heard that a Mancini Pryor fight was in the making not too long after Arguello's second loss to Pryor and that Arguello had personally told Ray not to fight him.
@@michaeldemos6816 Pryor was using performance enhancing drugs when he beat Alexis, from the accounts I have read. Perhaps Arguello was warning Ray Mancini.
@@lindad4148 what accounts??? That water bottle switch means nothing since Pryor beat Arguello outright again in the second fight without any doubt of a tainted bottle. Who says a fighter would be a better fighter on dope or booze anyway? I don't get it. No one wanted to fight Pryor back then. He was fierce.
@@lindad4148 I wonder if Panama Lewis ever loaded Pryor's gloves for a fight. I don't think Pryor would allow that but u never know.
I am not sure if he carried him. I think it was a combination of Arguello being a slow starter and Boom Booms pressure. Arguello was very patient and would start timing you and with his power was dangerous.
Huaaooh! En lo personal fue unas de las mejores peleas de nuestro campeón Alexis Arguello con Ray B. Mancini. Este muchacho Mancini subió al ring a pelear contra Arguello siendo invicto en su carrera boxística, pero ese día perdió su invicto con Arguello. Gran boxeador fue este muchacho Mancini. Muy buena pelea boxística.
Mancini le faltaron piernas velocidad de manos tenia
No se si es verdad, pero se dice que Manzini después de esta pelea le causó la muerte a otro boxeador a consecuencia de los golpes
Solo con la diferencia de estatura, y el alcance de sus brazos, ya llevaba mucha ventaja Arguello
@@ramonarguello6688 Du ku Kim of Korea died,probably in ring I saw the fight he never regained consciousness, it affected Ray badly
@@ramonarguello6688 Mancini went onto be world champion Alexis Arguello became a great friend
Round 11 is the tipping point. From that point onward, Arguello's punches continue to have snap, but Mancini's don't. Scrappy effort from Mancini, though. No doubt about it. Amazing that he was only 20 years old. Same age as I was, but he was fighting a legend for a world championship; I was doing minimum-wage janitorial work. 😂
I was a serial killer in Pittsburgh robbing for food
The Explosive Thin Man, the great Alexis Arguello was a gentleman. Godspeed sir.
15 Rounds, Alexis is/sadly/ was a master boxer. What a great fight. I watched it live all those years ago.
Good stoppage! Didn't want the young man's career to end before it really got started. With all those unanswered blows at the end, his head was beginning to flop around like a human bobble head.
Imagine Arguello, although I couldn’t find it on Wikipedia, lost by KO in his debut in the first round? There is a KO on wiki early in his career followed by another loss. That’s determination. A lot of guys would get discouraged.
He is very motivational for an up and coming boxer. Shows how losses don't mean anything as long as you are still committed to becoming world champion.
not to mention that Arguello isn't really a very talented fighter. he doesn't have a great chin, or blinding speed, or a high reserve of stamina nor size. all he had is his heart and punch. to compensate the lack of natural talents, he studied the sport, honed his skills and talent and learn how to fight in an old fashion way: fighting regularly.
When I was younger, I hated Alexis because his boxing was boring.
After 30 years now, I can truly appreciate his greatness in the skills and strategy.
A great fight, and a great win for Alexis Arguello. Mancini was a very talented and tough young fighter, but wasn't quite ready for someone that had the amount of championship bout experience that Arguello did. Interestingly, there was never a rematch with Mancini and Arguello.

The artistry of Alexis arguello, Mancini gets a lesson from the master, I didn't write that but I read it a boxing magazine when I was a young boxing fan and fighter
alexis ha sido uno de los grandes boxeadores en su division welter
VENCIO A VARIOS COMPSTRIOTAS MEXICANOS!
Roberto manos de piedra Durán ( PANAMA), Alexis Arguello (NICARAGUA) y Salvador Sánchez ( MÉXICO) son los 3 mejores boxeadores que ha dado latinoamerica.. Por allí sigue julio Cesar Chávez, finito López y muchos más.... Me voy a patrullar
To me if Salvador had lived he would have beaten Arguello and Duran or even the young upstarts Whitaker, Chavez, etc. Sanchez was special and they all knew it and they avoided him. If Gomez had realized who Sanchez really was he would have avoided him to.
Y luego cerca Monzon y Trinidad. Aunque yo prefiero el estilo de Arguello sobre el de Durán
@@euclideszoto997 you can play the WHAT IFs.
You would never know if Salvador would have been that good.
@@junkookbts1273 I remember when everybody picked Gomez as a heavy favorite to destroy Sanchez......and rightly so. They didn't call him Bazooka for nothing. I felt at that time Gomez was to much for Sanchez to handle. It was a mis-match alright! Sanchez completely destroyed him and many were in a state of dis-belief! Aaron Pryor fought arguello. But there was one fighter that Pryor avoided and that was Duran. They avoided Sanchez. They realized he was special.
@@euclideszoto997 Sanchez was special but to say he would have beaten all those other world champs might be a stretch. Azumah Nelson although a beast and tough fighter gave him problems but yeah I follow Sanchez and do doubt he was in a class of a small group.
Great comments, great fight, great fighter...always fun to watch.
Alexis Arguello was the very definition of class.
A glorified sparring session,with Arguello carrying Mancini for a good portion of the fight.If he had wanted to,he could of stopped Ray in 4 - 6 rounds.Look at the early rounds in this fight,and Arguello throws no punches with bad intentions.Look at the opening rounds of him against Pryor and you see a fight from first bell.Ray had nothing that Arguello had to figure out or be cautious about.His corner knew that when they took the fight,he was taylor made for him - a short armed pressure type who allows him to stay set.
Arguello, sin lugar a dudas, tiene que estar en la cima como uno de los mas grandes Boxeadores Latinos de la Historia.. Que monstruo.. Saludos desde Panama
Two very classy fighters , in and outside the ring. It's rare to see that level of professionalism today.
Jamás perdió defendiendo un título. Jamás por eso Duran lo envidiaba tanto...
Mancini was way too young and should have had 28 to 30 bouts before challenging Arguello for the Title Championship.
Too soon to go against Arguello yet.
Bad management.
This is the best fight l have ever seen, both fighters gave their best. Young Mancini will be the champion oneday
Fishpest That's exactly what Arguello told Ray after this fight..."you'll be champion someday"
big fan of Arguello, one of the all time greats.......... slim but can punch with either hand.. in spanish he was nickmamed "el flaco explosivo" the skinney explosive.....Rip Alexis.
Arguello may be the classiest gentleman I ever saw in boxing.
Aguello was a master in and out of the ring. A true sporting gentleman. RIP champ.

Network television showed great title fights in the afternoons back then. I loved Arguello, Hagler and Salvador Sanchez a lot!
arguello fue un boxeador con buena tecnica y pegada ,como pocos en el mundo ni mancini le pudo ganar en ese momento !
Mancini had a big heart but he was completely outclassed
These were the days when you could watch great championship fights on either ABC, CBS, OR NBC on Saturday afternoons.
I remember watching Friday Night Fights as a kid back in the 50's.
I remember the Sullivan - Kilrain fight. Caught a sunburn, but it was worth it.
Pero que elegancia la de Arguello. Paciencia. Defensa. Tecnica. Presicion
De ray macini puedo decir que fue un gran guerrero. Uso todos sus recursos para terminar la pelea. Conecto buenos golpes
Lamentablemente arguello ya tenia mucha experiencia y encontro la apertura perfecta después de 13 rounds
Increíble pelea.. en verdad bravo 👏🏼
Una buena pegada siempre será el punto de quiebre para ganar una pelea; Después de la primera caída de Ray era fácil vaticinar lo que ocurrió.
Esta pelea fue en Octubre 3 de 1981 Ray ( de 20 años) completaría su pelea número 21, venía invicto con 15 ko. El 19 Octubre de ese mismo año ( 1981) es decir 17 días despues de esta pelea, Julio Cesar Chavez knoquearía al mexicano número 21 (chavez igual con 20 años).
Si JC Chavez hubiera peliado con Arguello ese año le hubieran truncado su carrera, lo cuidaron como oro a Chavez. Bien se podia dar la pelea pero los mexicanos venian fabricando la carrera de Chavez, así que ni si quiera lo pensaron.
What a fight! No one disappointed.. Mancini Sr I'm sure can display that fight as a badge of honor to the fighting family! Great win!
Alexis catalogado como El Caballero del Ring
Bueno su historial deportivo como boxeador
loved them both!..Two great men of boxing.
I never believed for a minute Ray would beat Alexis
El boxeo es imprescindible, mancini le gana a Ramírez por decisión, Ramírez aunque perdió con Arguello casi lo noquea, y Arguello noquea a Mancini, por eso difícil hacer comparaciones en este deporte.
Alexis Arguello was one of my favourite fighters. A true gentleman who was cheated in the first fight with Aaron Prior. RIP Alexis.
@Pancho Villa I think the first fight took a lot out of him and he appeared to be a broken man in the second fight. It was sad to watch.
You could be right. Neither of them were the same after the first fight but it has to be said that in Pryor's case drugs had a lot to do with it.
@@markriley5863 indeed 💥
Alexis Arguello so great that even undefeated champions knew he couldn't beat him, This is why he need that bottle.
