    Frankie Liles-Tim Littles 2 was pretty wild while it lasted.

    Hamed-Kelley

    Tszyu-Hurtado had a very exciting first round.

    The War ! Hagler-Hearns obviously.
    Foreman-Lyle was pretty lively too.

    I'll take Folley-Joned over Lyle-Foreman every day. There's just too little skill involved in the latter.

    For me it's McCallum-Jackson. Because they are both shooting it out at the range they want to keep it at: mid-range. It's the perfect duel. They both assume position and then just duke it out; but in a very skillful fashion. The same with Jones-Folley.

    Hagler-Hearns is not a classic duel in that sense. Hearns wants to keep it at range and Hagler wants inside. It's decided by who manages to impose his will on the other (in this case Hagler, who gets inside Tommy's range). That's of course fascinating as well, but for me a perfect shoot-out is when both are in their element and just pit what they got there against each other.
