Recent examples that come to my mind
Vitali - Briggs
Pacquiao - Cotto
Martinez - Pavlik
Wladimir - Samuel Peter I - Although he didn't knock him out the first time, Peter was undefeated and an aggresive powerhouse in this fight. Peter dropped Wlad three times by hitting him in the back of the head which the ref allowed. Wlad came back and just continued to deconstruct him every round. The three knockdowns were given and Peter still got battered and almost KO'd.
Jones vs Percy Harris was pretty bad
Ali vs copper after that knock down
Cooney vs norton
Duran vs Leonard idc what people say Leonard didn't give as good as he got
Hearns vs Duran
Hagler hearns for that third round.
Mayweather vs Mosley it wasn't even that bad but he just beat that ass
Mayweather corrales
Marquez vs Diaz
Marquez vs katsidas
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre -Robinson vs Lamotta VI
gotta give jake's chin a lot of credit on that fight... if it was some other fighter with lesser toughness and chin, it could have been worse...
Bowe v The Foul Pole 2, is hard to watch in replay. Yelling "Why aren't they stopping it!?" like somehow I can will the result to change retroactively.
One that sticks in my head is Marvis Frasier (son of Smoking Joe) vs (I think) Larry Holmes. Holmes trapped him in the corner and beat hell outta him. Totally unloaded bombs on the poor kid. Vicious!
Roberto Duran annihilation of Davey Moore
and
Julio Cesar Chavez destroying Edwin Rosario

Lewis/Mavrovic - Seen this years ago live. I thought this one was pretty close? I dont remember this being a beatdown for either guy.
Hamed/Augie Sanchez - Dirty punch started that. SMH. Great example how a dirty punch can ruin a guy.
Usually dont comment here, I only read.
Cant believe n nobody mentioned Gatti - Gamache yet.
Me being a life long Gatti fan, wanted Gamache to ou box him after seeing the first round.
This ^^^^^^^
Roy put BOTH of his Jordans up in Paz's ass....Shane beat Marg with the whole kitchen after brother Naz cooked him by finding the illegal wraps...that was a gourmet performance right there....B.Hop beating up Pavlik wasn't physically brutal...it was more SPIRITUAL :lol1: LMAO
Crazy, I remember that fight like it was yesterday.
