Pernell Whitaker vs Diosbelys Hurtado Revisited

When you think Pernell Whitaker, you generally think defense, not brutal, late-rounds knockouts. But against Diosbelys Hurtado in 1997, that's what we got. Faced with getting a big fight with Oscar de la Hoya, Whitaker, for some reason, took on Hurtado on HBO. After trailing on all three cards through 10 tedious and foul-filled rounds, Whitaker knew what he needed to do and did it. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, listen to some of the back story of the fight as we pass its anniversary. Follow us on social media!
