 Bobby Chacon W10 Rafael Limon 3 [Archive] - Boxing Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Limon must have landed close to 90% of his blows after he started teeing off on Bobby after the KD, and most of those were full blooded power shots that landed flush to both the head and body of Chacon.
How he survived that onslaught is beyond belief, and he actually backed up Limon after he had unloaded everything but the kitchen sink at him and landed some good blows that stunned Rafael with a few seconds to go in the round.
I must say that of all the Limon fights I have, this was his most impressive display by far, he looked like a force to be reckoned with in this fight and was clearly in great shape to keep up the prolonged batterings he gave Bobby during the fight.
