also Trevor Berbick vs. Pinklon Thomas had several great rounds

 

Round 1, Marvin Johnson-Leslie Stewart

 

I or II? I've seen round 1 of 2, Johnson gets pounded

 

Round 1: Meza vs Garza
Round 3: Benn vs Gent
Round 5: Avelar vs Vásquez
Round 7: Yaegashi vs Pornaswan

 

really? I didn't think I missed any with how thorough my list was

 

Sorry, the first fight.

 

ya, because Round 1 of 2 was just a slaughter. I'll have to check out Round 1 of 1

 

Round 1 Maidana vs Ortiz

 

just checked out Johnson-Stewart I, good first round, especially the furious exchanges 30 secs before the bell

 

To be fair, almost every first round with Satterfield is epic.
But if I were to list underrated rounds it'd be

Foreman-Young 7
Jackson-Tate 5
Norris-Waters 2
Satterfield-Brothers 1

 

Frazier vs. Quarry 1, 1st round. Usually underrated, but a very exciting round in my view. (I had bet big on Frazier stopping Quarry, with a friend I watched the fight with. For a moment there I thought it could possibly go the other way. My friend was giving me the business, too. Quarry was crazy and on the attack in that 1st round.)

Edit: Added link to 1969 fight:

2 obscure rounds from a couple of forgotten fights would be the 12th round of Frank 'The Animal' Fletcher v Clint Jackson and the 12th round again from the Terrance Alli v John Meekins bout. You guys would love them.

 

It’s floating around the archives somewhere, but I did a poll series where people voted for the best completed rounds 1-15 (no rounds that were stopped).
