I lost my voice yelling after chico got up and stopped jose luis, that was the badest show on the planet that night. Not the very best boxing skills displayed, but two brutal warriors dishin it at full throttle, what a spectacular sight!!! What do you think???? RIP Big Chico!!!(always rockin the fatigues son!!):fing26::dance:
The beauty of that Corrales/Castillo fight was how Diego came back on the brink of defeat! thats what made that fight so special..Yeh the toe to toe war was great but Corrales coming back like that to stop Castillo is what made that shit unreal....
Freitas-Barrios is highly underrated here. Very close fight, Freitas more skilled, Barrios moving foward with his awkward style. Both hurt and down twice and a miracle punch that turned the fight.
I don't know about THE FIGHT being the best brawl EVER....but that 10th round has got to be one of the best ROUNDS in boxing history:boxing:
My all-time favorite is Gatti-Ward I.....
yeah i would have 2 watch' em back 2 back then decide...& dont 4-get ward vs agustus.
corrales-castillo I, for me, was the greatest fight in my life time, and having met Diego prior to the fight, months before, and seeing the fight live, it was a truely unexpected ending that put that fight into the all time great category of boxing history. compairing fights of this magnitude is always going to boil down to personal attachments and personal sentiment, it could be anything, the bottom line here is, fights like the corrales-castillo, gatti-ward, etc, barerra-morales, all reach a certain place, a top tier category all to themselves. it's a great thing to witness and be a part of, of remebering and sharing about boxing and whats good about it. but for me, corrales-castillo was IT! for me, that will be a tough act to follow for quite some time, until then i watch all of boxing to find another one.
Some older ones are Basilio-DeMarco 1 & 2, great fights, both fights were like Ward-Gatti 1.
Tengoshi mentioned Limon-Chacon 4, one of the best slugfests ever.
Great fight. My personal fave is deffo Gatti Ward 1, round 9 in that bout was extraordinary imo (3rd fight was special too)
MAB v Morales 1, Naz v Kevin Kelly (pure excitement factor) Vasquez v Marquez 1,2 & 3, Chi v Brodie 1, Monshipour v Sithchatchawal and Burton v Ward are all great fights too.
A lot of the fights mentioned (including Barrera-Morales) should not be counted as brawls in my opinion (wars, but not brawls). The definition should be confined to fights where skill is largely abandoned.
The 10th rd is the best rd ever but i dont know about best brawl ever.
Gatti-Ward
Barrera-Morales
Marquez-Vasquez
These were some of the best brawls in recent history because the ebb and flow was consistent throughout the whole fight.
