Aaron Pryor was more than a star he was a man whose career is eerily reminiscent of a supernova, that great cosmic event where for a few moments in time an explosion in a galaxy outshines everything around it until fading away.

Alexis Arguello versus Aaron Pryor I

Pretty happy we found this. Alexis Arguello versus Aaron Pryor. Watch Pryor put on an absolute clinic, exhibiting his technical proficiency to an extent not normally seen in a bout at this level. His lateral movement and combination punching are a sight to behold. But it ain’t like Arguello doesn’t stand a chance. He fights like a true Latin warrior, never taking a step back. Head down, always coming forward, throwing some great combinations of his own and exhibiting a scary power. The only thing scarier? Aaron Pryor’s chin. There’s one shot he absorbs in particular in the 13th round that we’re pretty sure would kill a normal man. The Sweet Science at it’s absolute sweetest.
