	Amatoboxing (amatoboxingsite.multiply.com) - FLASH ELORDE by Ted Luzzi
		Flash Elorde is widely considered one of the greatest fighters ever from the Asian-Pacific area.
		Elorde had beat Saddler earlier in a big surprise to get the shot.His victory was in a ten round bout and seemed well on his way to doing it again for the title when Sandy did every thing but bring his cornermen into the ring with him to retain the title.
		Festive until Elorde was declared the winner and then a riot occurred that was so bad it spilled outside the Garden into another building.However Elorde had won fairly according to most.He used his longer reach and lightning counters to outpoint the rough Navarez.

		Hands down to Elorde for defending his title for 7 years (that is a record) and for that reason, he was recognized as the one of the best if not the best Asian boxer.
		If we are going to argue that Elorde was better, then we should also see the point that the opponents of Manny have the leisure of watching all of his previous fights everytime he wants so as to familiarize himself with Manny's move.
		Flash is a legend and a hall of famer.
