    Duran-Palomino was celebrated at the time but seems lost to obscurity.

    I don't enjoy the fight that much besides the great infighting by Duran.

    your 100% correct Seabrooks was a great value-for-money fighter as i like to call him.

    2000 was the year, I think.
    Lewis-Tua undercard maybe.

    Ray Cattouse v George Feeney, BBB of C Lightweight title, October 1982 @ the Royal Albert Hall. Such a good fight that the fans were giving a standing ovation @ the end of each round.

    Rocky Kelly v Tony Brown, British Welterweight title eliminator, Saturday afternoon on ITV circa 1985.

    Both absolutely breath-taking fights where your hearts went out to both fighters for the valour and bravery they showed.

    His fight with Mark Brooks (Horokoshi) was ridiculous. And amazing.

    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad vs Marvin Johnson: Great display of bodypunchin, power and skill by Eddie and great display of chin, toughness, combinations and speed by Johnson.
