We all know about Corrales-Castillo, Gatti-Ward, Barrera-Morales etc. What hidden gems are out there?
Some less obvious ones I’d recommend:
Salido-Kokietgym
Rodriguez-Wolak
Conlan-Nelson
Coyle-Brizuela
Anyway throw some at me... hopefully there’s one or two people haven’t seen and will give us something to watch during this lockdown.
A few unknowns in here but tough as nails sons of *****es just the same.
Was ringside for both of these and they were wars.
Barry Michaels vs Earthquake Carter
Barry Michaels vs Lester Ellis
Zaragoza vs Fenech
Nelson vs Fenech 1
Harding vs Andreis
It was a shame Harding and Lester both ended up alcoholics and in and out of mental institutions, they were such blood and guts warriors that never stepped back.
Jorge linares vs Antonio demarco is a fun fight. Linares starts off lights out but demarco’s determination brings him back into a good scrap.
Miguel cotto vs Juan arango i believe is his name he was a heavy handed Colombian but it was a brawl!
Recently Ggg-Deryvenchenko
Takashi Miura vs Francisco Vargas
James Toney vs Vassily Jirov
David Tua vs Ike Ibeabuchi
Marcos Maidana vs Josesito Lopez
Michael Moorer vs Bert Cooper
Takshi Miura vs Francisco Vargas
Recently there was a thread about "heavy handed fighters". creekrat77 mentioned the Takashi Miura' fight with Francisco Vargas.
I remembered that fight, went back and watched it again. It's a great fight.
Michael Carbajal vs Chiquita Gonzalez 1
This right here.
Would also include:
Mark Breland vs Aaron Davis
Calvin Grove vs Jorge Paez (I and II)
Ivan Robinson vs A Gatti (I and II)
Wolak vs Rodriguez that was a great fight good choice.
Salido vs Juan Ma 2
Zaragoza vs Banke (any of them)
Jamie Moore vs Matt Macklin
Yeah great fight. Think it won FOTY from the BWAA.
Moore-Macklin was a war, the pace was unreal. Moore had a pretty good fight with Ryan Rhodes too from what I remember. Back in the days we actually got competitive fights on Sky.
Always liked Jamie Moore would have liked to have seen him get a shot at a world title.
