    ...what are some of yours? Corrales vs Freitas was great, but people have forgotten about it or missed it altogether. One of the '00s best fights. Freitas was a good fighter. Why he never blew up is beyond me. In the first 18 seconds of the vid, look at how Freitas used angles and quick hands to hit Corrales from every direction. But Freitas quit like a *****...maybe that's why he never blew up. Anyway, check this one out and add your own.

    Hector Camacho vs Edwin Rosario.

    Great classic match that hardly gets talked about IMO.

    Gatti/ Robinson 1 was Ring's FOTY in 1998. Was really the fight that put gatti on the map.

    No Lopez just didnt do throw enough, and Page dominated the majority of the rounds.

    Yeah, pretty much. Close fight, but Lopez got outworked in a lot of rounds and never was able to really capitalize when he had Page in serious trouble.


    Anyway, the full fight is on Youtube...

    Thank you.
    Was this ever disputed?
    Looked close from highlights. One judge had it close.

    Quartey--a guy like Glen Johnson who wasn't favored by judges for whatever reason?

    I don't remember my score, but I remember that Quartey won the fight in my card.


    This was a very good fight, with one of the best last round ever!
