the most technical fights you have seen?

Hi Donkim, the second Mosley vs Wright fight was a split decision. Quite a close fight that one.

It was a majority decision and a strange decision at that.The rematch really wasn't that much different than the first fight.

Good call.


Two of the very best imo.

Some that come to mind are:

FIghting Harada vs Eder Jofre 1- SD win for Harada
Benitez vs Hearns - MD win for Hearns
Salvador Sanchez vs Juan Laporte- UD win for Sanchez

I agree, what's your list look like?

FIghting Harada vs Eder Jofre 1- SD win for Harada
Benitez vs Hearns - MD win for Hearns
Salvador Sanchez vs Juan Laporte- UD win for Sanchez

I always thought Fighting Harada's technical skills were underrated, before I had seen him fight all I had heard of him was how aggressive he was and how many punches he threw and he didn't dissapoint in those categories but he really impressed me with his jab, combination punching and his ability to box (which is shown in his first fight with Jofre). The bad thing was though if he got you hurt most of the time he would just go ape-**** (which was also shown in his first fight with Jofre).

I agree with your other choices but I found Sanchez-LaPorte somewhat boring.

Another couple of good technical fights:

Lionel Rose-Alan Rudkin

Lionel Rose-Takao Sakurai (which I heard described as a "****ing masterpiece")

Sugar Ramos-Davey Moore (though the circumstances following the fight take the shine off of it).

Lupe Pintor-Albert Davila II (Pintor is very underrated when it comes to boxing skills, very efficient with his punches and Davila is just pure class).

All of the Ezzard Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott fights

Micheal Spinks-Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (some excellent polished rough stuff)

Alexis Arguello-Jose Luis Ramirez (I haven't seen this fight in forever but I remember that Ramirez out on an excellent display of counterpunching while Arguello kept it very close, though I scored it for Ramirez if my memory serves me correctly)

Salvador Sanchez-Ruben Castillo (Another very close fight that I scored the other way, lot of ebbs and flows in this fight and everything executed in this fight just oozed class).

Anselmo Moreno-Wladimir Sidoreinko I-II (I have heard some people call Moreno boring but I always found him compelling to watch)

Before pacquiao there would be often debates about who was the greatest asian fighter Harada vs Galaxy. If you study their fights you would see Harada was far more technical than Galaxy. Galaxy just had more power and would systematically break down an opponent more by brawn than skill Galaxy didn't have the amateur experience that Harada had. Galaxy was more methodical and waited for opportunity to strike with his powerful left. Harada had better side to side movement, hand speed, and foot work. His skills run circles around galaxy. Galaxy just had more power and that was what helped him become 49-1.

I thought Sanchez vs Laporte was very competitive early on and by the late RDS Sanchez started to pull away. Laporte was one of those guys who seem to always be a little short in his big fights. But he had a steel chin and went the distance with guys like Sanchez, Nelson. Gomez, Tszyu, and JC Chavez.
Eventually, he did become Featerhweight champ-although briefly.

Harada was a sharpshooter while Khaosai was a tank. Galaxy was a guy who won with muscle, toughness and fitness, I was very unimpressed with him when he fought on the outside, he had a bad habit of over extending himself when he threw his lead left and he usually just pawed with the jab but he became a different fighter when he closed the gap, very sharp and threw good combos on the inside.

Khaokor on the other hand was an excellent technical boxer, he was a very meticulous fighter and as a result he was very conservative and that is the reason he lost the technical decision to Moon in their first fight, he basically got outhustled. My favorite performance from him is the second fight between him and Moon, he put on an excellent show of movement, countering and body punching and really handled Moon well. I also really enjoyed him outboxing a young Wilfredo Vasquez. Too bad his career ended so early.

I think a good analogy is how a baseball pitcher changes speed and it confuses a hitter. Galaxy in the inside fought a different pace and his left was quite elusive. BOOM all of a sudden he seems to KO the opponent out of the blue and it shocked the opponent.
