On Feb. 18, 1989, in a fight televised by CBS Sports, Puerto Rico's Jorge Maysonet fought the fight of his life as he went for his first world title.
Unfortunately for Maysonet, on that night, he ran into the buzzsaw that was Simon Brown when the welterweight was at the top of his powers. Maysonet was impressive (and fearless) as he bounced a number of power punches off Brown's dome without any reaction from the champion. This, despite Maysonet having scored 19 knockouts in 19 victories at the time.
Maysonet, like many other opponents, would eventually find Brown's power too much, as he was knocked out in three rounds. He would never get another opportunity to fight for a world title and retired five years later.
