But there was a time when my buddy and I would watch all of the big fights: Tyson vs. Spinks, Leonard vs. Hagler, Holyfield vs. Bowe, Taylor vs. Chavez, Lewis vs. Holyfield, Tyson vs. Holyfield, and of course... Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Hector "Macho" Camacho.
Chavez dominated the fight and won by unanimous decision after 12 rounds, but the fight was a historic one and one I won't forget.
Another thing that stands out when I look back at Camacho were his entertaining outfits. My favorite was the one he wore before his fight against De La Hoya. It was sort of a Destro (from G.I. Joe) meets a dominatrix look.
Here... see for yourself:

1991 Kayo #197
1991 All World #7
1991 Ringlords #33
1996 Ringside "Spotlights in the Ring" #1
Rest in peace... Macho Man. You will be remembered.

Any chance you have 1996 Ringside Gold Spotlight Michael Carbajal? It is from the same subset as that Camacho/Douglas/Duran card. It is the last one I need for my 1996 Ringside master set.
I looked, but didn't see one. My buddy gave me the stack of boxing cards. I'll ask him if he has anymore.. If I do, I'll get back to you.
