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.

After trailing on all three cards through 10 tedious and foul-filled rounds, Whitaker knew what he needed to do and did it.
