For me personally it doesn't get better than Morales switching southpaw and giving Manny the chance to beat him. One if my favorite fights I can watch over and over again. Great thread TS
Just rewatched that fight yesterday, that was crazy. I think his dad said in the corner "You have it in the bag, dont do anything crazy now" or something like that just before the 12th. And then he turned southpaw halfway in to the round and took some huge shots. That was special.
great contributions guys, here is another one that i just remembered. andrade got screwed over big time over what would have been an AMAZING comeback victory:

One of my all time favourite fights and Ring Magazine FOTY for 1982.

No possible better way for this trilogy to be decided. A knockdown with 9 seconds left to seal the decision? Legendary.
Sorry about the quality, though. It was the only video I could find of the 12th round.

Reliving the Chavez Jr-Martinez fight lol... Look at the way Sergio gets thrown across that ring like a ragdoll. Golovkin must be licking his paws so bad.
Chavez-Taylor... what a WEEEIRDDDD stoppage....... amazing round, gives me goosebumps but just weird.
PS: Chavez looks way more mobile and better there than he did against Vera. And he is such a better fighter when he presses the action going forward. He throws some hard shots... would love to see him against Triple G.
Would love to see golovkin vs either chavez or martinez, i think ggg would be too much for both tho!
and yea great round by taylor-chavez, tough break for taylor tho
Thank you for this amazing thread, in Martinez vs Chavez I was about to die from heart attack
Yea the entire room watching with me went nuts when martinez hit the canvas!

lol thats badazz! i can only imagine how insane the atmosphere must have felt actually being there
Lol I was so pissed thinking Maravilla just wasted 11 rounds of domination. He took somb bombs that round and somehow stayed up. Some serious determination
I was pissed/scared as hell/beyond nervous/mortified/crying/sad, when that happened.
Mini heart attack.
Then when he came back, I was like, :boxing:
****!! I love boxing so much. These moments are what boxing are all about. The unpredictability of it all, the excitement from the fact that ANYTHING can happen. :boxing::boxing:

great thread and a great opportunity to point something out that many people don't know: any fight of Rios' that went the distance, his opponent was on the back foot almost entirely in the 12th round. I just realized this myself, thank you.
But of course Rios won't get any credit for this, instead people will say something stupid like he's not black so it doesn't count or there's nothing impressive about beating people up, he throws too many punches, where's the defense I paid for...in my monthly subscription? h0mos.
This is what this forum needs more of, threads like this that entertain with some good stuff instead of the same debates and back and forth trolling between fanbases. Love it! Thanks bud!
