Underrated Fights?

[pigdestroyer]

You know.. I was growing up around the Trinidad/De La Hoya/Vargas era so my knowledge of the before this is very slim when it doesn't include the older champs.

What're some great underrated fights that are preferably before this era?

[Silencers]

Mancini v Frias what a 1st round.

Yeah, 1 of the best 1 round fights ever.

[Dynamite Kid]

Gotta love Mancini was he ever involved in a boring fight

That mofo was built like a middleweight from the waist up

Yeah. Very entertaining fighter, flawed and not the most technically sound but very tough and durable, he never stopped trying even when he was behind in his fights and threw a lot of punches while taking a lot back.

As you said, really strong physically too.

Reminds me that his fight with Arguello was a very good one as well.
