    Stracey v Green - round 1 could in some lights go up against Hearns/Hagler for the most action packed, I kid you not ! also the action never lets up over the entire fight, all action brawl with the winner not sure until late in the contest.
    PS- I backed Green, coming from Hackney that was brave of me ;) keep well.

    Sergei Liakhovich-Lamon Brewster: the best HW fight of the 21st century. Other HW fights were bigger events and more meaningful, but this was the best for consistent back and forth action.

    Michael Gomez-Alex Arthur
    Diego Corrales-Roberto Garcia

    I think the first fight between Michael Carbajal and Humberto Gonzalez was a phenomenal fight. Not sure if it’s underrated or not but it doesn’t seem to get mentioned that much

    I lost $ on that one. Thought it was in the bag. Carbajal was down 2x times, was counting my $ when the end came.
