Manny hurts Erik badly to the body, Erik jabs Manny into the ropes and then pumps his arms out as if he just wants to fight.

Even the end of the round is great, Manny lunging in, Erik capitalising on Pac's bad balance and finishing off the round throwing at Manny.

Classic sh-t.

Wow, I just realized how badly hurt Morales was with those body shots.

Marquez/Diaz 1's opening round immediately springs to mind for me, but what say you? Let's hear your nominations.

great nod. that round set the tone for a hell of a fight.

martinez and williams were both down in the first round of their first fight

angulo and kirkland had a hell of a first round last year.

holt vs torres was insane.

that's about all i've got for now. i'd have to think some more.

One of my personal favorites as well. And the way Morales chose to fight the 12th round was better than how it started.

junior gong

Holt v Torres was amazing, thats my personal favourite.

Angulo v Kirkland and Martinez v Williams...plenty more though you could pick
