    60s - Harada vs Jofre 1
    70s - Ohba vs Chionoi / Duran DeJesus 3
    80s - Chang vs Tokashiki / Leonard vs Duran
    90s - Joichiro Tatsuyoshi vs Sirimongkol Singwancha
    00s - Hatakeyama vs Sakamoto

    This was hard to pick. I'm sure there's lots of bouts I'm forgetting, especially for 70s, like Mando Ramos vs Sugar Ramos.
