Nothing like toe to toe boxing, no running around.... just two men giving it their all. I remember being 12 and watching this fight with my dad. We were both going for the pride of Phoenix, Carbajal.

This fight never gets Old, I can watch it over, and over, and over... 🥊🥊

[LucieOne]

Just a crazy fight. Two of the greatest little guys of all time. I always watch this one thinking it's too bad Finito never got in against either of these guys.

Carbajal took some beating to the body and some were low and still came out like a warrior. I remember watching this live as a kid. Became an instant fan of Carbajal.

Great fight by 2 hall of famers! The translator forgot what his job was at 31:40! He asks 4 questions in Spanish and forgets to translate Gonzalez’ 2 answers about what happened in the fight! 😂 Gonzalez said, “I thought this was going to be my great triumph but he caught me. I was winning but he caught me. I don’t know how it happened but he caught me.” When asked about the cut. No, the cut didn’t affect him, he was fine. The fight was his but he got caught.

Its just not a fight but a battle between two warriors. The winner was a legend.

[dieciseiscuerdas]

A hell of a fight!!! I wish I could see more fights like this and resilient fighters like Michael Carbajal was!

My respects also to 'Chiquita' González, a blast of a fighter as well.

[MazPower]

This is The Fight that made me a Crazed boxing Fan.... I was like 7yrs old... I cried after Chiquita lost

[ryanstearns]

That's a FIGHT! NO BS respect to Mills Lane for letting them go at it. MC was a little beast, respect to CG to.

[Jerry-lfc]

[kariukijoseph]

This is a crazy fight to watch..ooh the one seems defeated had nine lives like a cat...wow😮

[Andrewthe]

Punchers always have the advantage against pressure boxer punchers like Chiquita, it’s the style match up

[VictorFoster-drnf]

Fighters get cut and I don’t think anybody is ever thought to put Cayenne pepper in the cut. It will help tremendously to stop the bleeding.
