I believe that was Efe Ajagba's fight with Curtis Harper. It was back when Efe was KO'ing everyone so they pushed the narrative that he was afraid of Ajagba as opposed to the reality of the pay dispute. I don't think ol' Curt "The Hurt" ever fought again after that.
Yup, I watched the fight again. LOL! That was the one I was thinking of. Thanks!
I was going to mention the Rigo/Casimero fight as a recent one also. Lol.
If we are thinking of the same fight where the guy went back to the locker room right when the opening bell rang, it was some pay dispute issue iirc.
Clottey staying shelled up with Manny was pretty painful also.

Last few rnds of Manny v Pacman.
Cotto was virtually running away as to not get hit
good call. i remember the fans booing the last couple rounds for that one. that's a really good win for pacquiao. he beat him up and nullified him
to be honest though, i can't recall a fight where smeone straight up ran away and would not fight at the elite level

a fight that surprised me was acelino freitas vs diego corrales. freitas had waged some wars in most of the fights before corrales. he was totally on the run against chico.
cory spinks vs mayorga
I didn't score Rigo v Cesemiro because that was the ugliest,most low down dirty cowardis running ive ever seen,he should've been banned from ever fighting again after that(no different than the guy who ran outta the ring a while back) :lol1:

Now after revisiting that fight,I want to know how you all scored this fight, because I remember Crawford saying Rigo was robbed & won every rd.

Last 4 rounds of Oscar-Trinidad seems like the obvious example.
Other than that, any Willie Pastrano fight.
DLH-Trinidad is as blatant example of running one can think of, but the OP specified “ran away scared.” I didn’t get the impression Oscar was scared. He was easily outboxing Tito and, as Hoya said in the post-fight interview, he thought he was going to win the fight on points. Why not? No sense taking a chance on getting caught by a notorious KO artist when you’re way ahead on points. Too bad for Oscar he took the idea a bit too far. At the risk of getting into a topic that’s been discussed ad nauseam around here, the plan probably would’ve have worked if DLH actually threw some punches and not run around the ring in circles like Jerry Lewis. Lol
Yes Rosado was SHOOK of getting kod that fight,I never seen him fight with so much movement,looked downright Rigoesque(though nobody can compare,Rosado at least fought back every few miles)
Thats Amazing to think Rosado has been more of a brawler since then then became a defense 1st fighter his last few fights.(I will always respect Gabe though because he has fought literally everyone)

I like Gabe and definitely have respect for him, but I’ll never forget how he moved in that fight. You would’ve thought Golovkin was swinging at him with a knife. Lol GGG had a killer reputation at that point in his career. Rosado looked like he believed it 100%.
Lara vs Canelo. I thought Lara was at a track meet instead of a fight.
Some fighter that fought Donaire vs Narvaez
I can't remember the other ones because they were very forgettable fights that my brain expunged.
Two fights that came to mind immediately: Camacho vs Rosario and Golovkin vs Rosado. Hector and Gabe literally didn’t want to make physical contact.

I try to block runners in fights out of my memory bank.
I don't have disdain to Rigo but I thought he ran in the Casimero fight. That was downright painful to watch (and I blame both fighters for that pain).
If I recall correctly, Enrico Koelling did some quality running in his fight with Beterbiev. He almost made it to the final bell but got stopped in the final round.
For the record, I remember that Smoke Gainer fight vaguely. He was in a number of ugly fights and often involved in head clashes. Can't get that Norwood fight out of my memory unfortunately.
