    Recommend me an underrated fight from the 80's

    Since Pavlik pulled out, I need to watch some boxing, something I haven't seen before. I want to go back to the 80's.

    None of the obvious fights - hagler/hearns, leonard, etc.

    Maybe an awesome war that kinda was forgotten about because they were overshadowed by the big time stars.

        8 or a 9, it's a real corker!

        Here is a piece that Lee Groves wrote about the fight, calling it a closet classic...
