Favorite Obscure Fights

I don't know if I'd call these "obscure", but I'll just say that aren't mentioned all that much on boxing forums. Maybe because a lot of them aren't recent.
- William Caveman Lee-John LoCicero
- Matthew Franklin (Saad Muhammad)-Richie Kates
- Matthew Franklin (Saad Muhammad)-Marvin Johnson 1
- Robert Quiroga-Kid Akeem Anifowoshe
- Frankie Liles-Tim Littles 2
- Ezra Sellers-Carl Thompson
- Alex Arthur-Michael Gomez
- Bobby Chacon-Cornelius Boza-Edwards 2: It seems that Chacon-Limon 4 is mentioned more, but they are pretty close IMO in how exciting they were. Chacon-Limon 4 had the better ending, for sure. It was similar to the end of Marquez-Vasquez 3.
- Kevin Kelley-Derrick Gainer 1: Hamed-Kelley is mentioned more, and it was better, but Kelley-Gainer 1 was a very good fight as well.
- Alejandro Gonzalez-Kevin Kelley
- David Tua-Daniel Izon: Tua-Ibeabuchi gets more mention, but Tua-Izon was another excellent HW fight, with a better ending than Ike-Tua.
- Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper: Because of this fight, I'm not even sure if Bowe-Holyfield 1 was the best HW fight of 1992. The skill level was obviously better in it, but Moorer-Cooper was very vicious.

I liked that fight. It didn't have the most consistent action, but it was very intriguing and suspenseful. Freitas was doing well and winning more rounds, but Chico was subtly doing damage on the inside when they were up close. Eventually Popo got tired and Chico just brought on the damage.not obscure at all, but whenever we talk about the late diego corrales we talk about his fights with castillo or casamayor. how about his fight with freitas? just the fact that chico had arguably lost all the early rounds, yet never got frustrated or lost concentration. slowly and steadily he started getting to freitas, finally making him quit after dropping him 3 times. classic chico.
I also liked Corrales's fight with Roberto Garcia. Excellent fight. The Justin Juuko one was pretty entertaining too.Comment

It was the Hopkins-Wright undercard.
Oliveira-Phillips was a BEAST of a fight.Comment
