5 Best Championship Rounds Since '90

[oldgringo]

I'm gonna play devils advocate and say that these are the 5 best championship rounds since 1990. I dare someone to disagree with me...come on bitches just try me.


Holyfield/Bowe I - Round 10

Chavez/Taylor I - Round 12

Toney/Nunn - Round 11

Toney/Jirov - Round 12

Castillo/Corrales - Round 10

There you have it.

[JUYJUY]

Eubank-Watson II - round 11, though so tragic it deserves a mention atleast.

[scap]

Gatti v. Ward 1 round 9 is as good as it gets.

[Eric Persson]

Gatti v. Ward 1 round 9 is as good as it gets.

Agreed, but it is not for a championship and therefor I guess it does not count.

What About Dlh/quartey Round 12

[oldgringo]

Yeah I have always believed that "Championship Rounds" are rounds 10, 11, and 12 or the final three rounds of a World Championship fight. Therefore I couldn't say that Gatti/Ward I - Rd 9 qualifies.


Good call on DLH/Quartey JC, I still don't think it eclipses what happened in any of these other fights but good nonetheless.

One round that comes to my mind is Trinidad vs Vargas round 9. Awsome action both guys firing bombs and wobbling eachother.

Some good Championship rounds I can think of right now

Trinidad vs Vargas 9
Chavez vs Taylor 12
Castilo vs Corrales 10
Toney vs Nunn 11

Thats usually true bout Trinidad vs Vargas was so close throug hthe fight even Lampley commented on how round 9 is a championship round. But in most fights you are correct about rounds 10-12

[sonicman]

Mosley/DLH I round 12

[The Fix]

tarver-jones part 1 rounds 11 and 12 were pretty damn good


was jirov-toney for a belt? if so 12 was a classic
