    Fights that surprised you because they were entertaining

    In boxing from the moment a fight is made we can usually tells whether its going to be a war (Cotto-Margs) or if its going to be a bore (Jones-Hopkins 2).

    What were some fights you saw that were more entertaining than you thought they'd be?

    My pick has to be Winky Wright vs Jermain Taylor, Winky stood there and fired with Taylor and was abusing him up against the ropes (albeit with not much punching power) and made a balloon of his left eye with that jab. 11 rounds of action and then Winky coasted through the 12th which would've sealed it for him.

    Jean Pascal vs Adrian Diaconu I was also a great fight, back and forth action and I think it was round 5 where Diaconu was knocked down but came back to buzz Pascal hard and almost knock him down.

        I thought that would be a short fight.

          that list is so big it's not even worth posting. So many times I'll be watching a couple guys that are no names, or maybe one heavily favored guy against a bum, next thing you know it turns out to be a war.

          A PERFECT example of this was Luna vs Luna on Friday Night Fights a couple weeks ago. that fight wasn't even supposed to be televised but because previous fights were short, they got air time. Two kids, both with pro records of 0-0-0, fought a four round war. It was great
