Fights that surprised you because they were entertaining

Gatti-Ward 1.
Me and the wife just watching HBO Boxing, we both are fans of Gatti. At the end we were like WTF!!

^^This...I too am a Gatti-(correction) fan, and i was flipping out watching that 1st fight. I had adrenaline rushes big time..lol. Or the 1st Marques-Vasquez fight, which i figured would be good, but a non-stop war broke out. What a mess! Lol!

David Tua Vs David Izonritei was a war, everyone thought Tua would blow him away but they went at it with some serious punches being exchanged and that crazy french woman in the background yelling "Allez David!!!"

Andre Berto Vs Luis Collazo was also a good one that caught me off guard, didn't expect it to be that good of a fight or even that close of a fight.

Maruqez-Casamayor. didn't expect it to be a war because it was supposed to be a battle of 2 great counter punchers.

I thought Mayweather vs Mosley was hella entertaining. Not just the first two rounds, but the dominance from the rest of the fight. Amazing stuff to watch, but that might be personal preference though.

Liakhovich-Brewster was a great scap.

Maybe the last good HW fight.

Casamayor Katsidis - I literally thought Casa would school the kid rather than engage

Yup.

Also, Adamek-Cunningham and Montiel-Melendez. All three fights from the same year.

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.

too many to mention but
leuvano-santiago and more recent perez-mares.
