Best fights of 1989

[TBear]

I had no problem with Duran-Barkley winning. I agree that Andres-Harding and Holyfield-Dokes and Zaragoza-Banke were great battles. Another forgotten battle from that year was Molina-Tony "The Tiger" Lopez.

If O.Canizales-Kelvin Seabrooks II or Paez-Grove II were as good as the first bouts they would have been up there too but they fell short that year.

Maybe the best "fight" was between Pistons /Lakers.
Or maybe the 49'ers win over the Bengals
Such a good year for sports

Benn-Watson.

Yong Kang Kim vs.Leopard Tamakuma occurred in 1989. I reremember that it happened right before my 9th birthday. One of the best fights I'd ever seen at the time, and is still one of my favorites.

One of my favorite fighters of all time Nigel Benn vs Michael Watson.

Harding/Andries you fat Yanks!

In all seriousness, '89 was one hell of a year. Duran/Barkley for the amazing come back and drama of Duran winning the 160 title was amazing.

Holy/Dokes was a classic of Holyfield showing everything that made him great.

Banke/Zaragoza was brilliant.

For me though, it has to go to Harding. What a champ.

My fat yank is dangling between my legs, but Harding-Andries was a great fight....both of them if I remember correctly.

All 3 of them were epic wars!

Kim/Tamakuma was great too.
