    James Pipps vs Carmelo Negron. A 10 round draw and both guys got 60 day medical suspensions. It was the main event, with Holfield's 7th (I think) fight on the undercard. A tremendous war, I don't think it is on youtube, but buy it if you can find it.

    What a hype job Paulie Ayala was, my goodness.

    I see Yaegashi vs Pornsawan hasn't been mentioned yet.. A recent terrific obscure fight.

    These both get mentioned at least monthly if not weekly....I know I saw them in 2 seperate threads this past week....Great fights, but hardly fit the criteria listed.

    I am excited there are several fights I have not seen and a few I have not heard of :oops:

    Tatsuyoshi was in a lot of brutal back and forth fights.

    Ones not mentioned yet from the 90's...

    Sosa-Williams was just brutal.
    Ruelas - Pendleton great come from behind effort
    Moorer - Botha tough brawl that leaves Moorer with a broken jaw
    Morrison - Hipp - even tougher brawl that leaves both fighters half destroyed. Morrison wins with broken hand and jaw
    Carbajal - Gonzalez I - Much hyped at the time, not much talked about any more.

    badass knockout in that one. great fight

    like the ones you listed. moorer was in quite a few good ones....like bert cooper he was both dangerous enough, and vulnerable enough, to keep things fun

    i quite enjoyed harada-jofre, gomez-sanchez and chandler-carter as well

    All three of the Minter-Finnegan fights were excellent.
