    This. The second half of the bout was sloppy and their fatigue showed. Ortiz won mostly on activity the second half of the bout.

          Pryor- Arguello I 1982- Hyped up as an incredible exciting fight. Didnt find it that way, too one-sided for my liking.

          Benn-McCllenan 1995- Overhyped in my opinion, too one sided at some points for my liking, I think it was mainly the tragedy that gives this fight that special lure because I dint find it that intriguing.

            Seriously the Amir Kahn vs Maidana fight is one of the best fights I have seen.

              Barrera - Pac 1.

              I get how significant this fight was, how it re-ignited boxing and brought it back to the spotlight but it seriously is a crappy fight. Barrera just kind of gives up after the first 2 minutes of the first round. Not a typical Barrera fight at all.

              Wolak vs Rodriguez 1

              I have heard too many folks who should know better call this the type of fight "Fight Fans" want to see. All I seen was Wolak walk into punches all night and Delvin get exhausted from beating Wolaks face. The first half was OK but the second half Wolak turned a beating into a crappy MMA wrestling match -- visibly tired, constantly tying up and throwing punches with no gas.

              Zack Padilla vs Sucra Ray Olivera

              OK. It broke the record for most punches in a fight. Most of those punches were so light and tired that I wouldn't even consider them punches. Im a big Zack Padilla fan but for having the most punches thrown in a fight this was a pretty boring fight

                Ward vs Gatti HANDS DOWN!

                Only reason why it was exciting is because neither of them had much boxing skills, they was slow and their footwork was terrible, so yeah your going to get an exciting fight when it is two fighters who have no clue what the word "DEFENSE" means

                RIP to Gatti and respect to Ward but as soon as these guys was put in with BOXERS WITH SKILLS, they got PICKED APART EVERY TIME!

                  bull****! hearns boxing leonards ears off was one of the best and most classic moments ever. arguably the single best clash of two technicians in history, the sweet science in all its glory.

                  the skill, fighting intelligence and physical talent was through the roof and they gave a display of BOXING at its very best, it was a master piece. if you think that was "very dull" and "super tame" you must not like boxing very much.
