What are the greatest closing rounds in boxing? It doesn't matter if it goes to decision or if it ends in a knockout. For instance, Lee-LoCicero 5 and Foreman-Lyle 5 are some of my absolute favorite finales. However, Norton-Holmes is my favorite.
Chacon-Limon 4, round 15 Chavez-Taylor 1, round 12 Corrales-Castillo 1, round 10 Mike Weaver-John Tate, round 15 Jake LaMotta-Laurent Dauthille 2, round 15 Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor, round 12
Some more obscure mentions, off the top of my head. Chang vs Tokashiki - Round 9 Yaegashi vs Ioka - Round 12 Tatsuyoshi vs Singwancha - Round 7 Harada vs Medel 1 - Round 6 Yuh vs DeMarco - Round 15 Jofre vs Medel 1 - Round 10
Colin Jones v Kirkland Laing 1 & 2 Both identical fights, Laing way ahead in both fights, only to be KOd in rnd 9 in both bouts ! Jones admits he only won 2 rounds out of 18 ( the 9th in both fights ).
I don’t blame him the out put and ferocity at those lighter divisions is a pleasure, the casual fan wants brutal knockouts and non stop action yet they watch the most inactive historically shallow division.
Ya, I agree. Heavyweights are generally what I fall back on just cuz it's what I started out watching. Every other division is much more exciting.
