Oh, cool...I look forward to listening to this one! He and the also great Ricardo Lopez were two of the most underappreciated fighters of recent years in my opinion. You want to go a bit further back than that? A guy named Mike McCallum, and a bantam/feather from South America that due to geography and size was largely ignored; EDER JOFRE.
P.S- "Digital" has been on fire with these audio interviews as of late! (Somebody had better keep an eye on this man/human computer. A fuse/circuit could be blown if a proper surge protector isn't connected!)
