The f***** turned southpaw in the last 1:50 seconds of the 1st fight against a prime Pacquaio! What a legend!
All time favorite southpaw vs southpaw fight has to be the Daniel Zaragoza vs Paul Banke fights without a doubt, especially the 2nd fight. One of the most grueling fights and highly underrated rivalry. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Amazing contrast between Taylor vs Prograis & Taylor vs Catterall (another all southpaw matchup). Taylors issues going into Catterall are well documented, but Taylor looked at his best vs Prograis under McGuigan and regressesed / got more cautious under Davidson - be interesting to see in his next fight if moving from Davidson to McNally will address any of that. NB, Prograis vs Zepeda I fully expect to be up there with Taylor v Prograis and Zepeda v Barancyk!
On the fairly recent front, Lomachenko-Russell. Not really close, but a very enjoyable, competitive technical/tactical war. Going further back, Liles-Nunn is an underrated clash of southpaws; This content is protected Prime Calzaghe vs. Prime Liles is a fine fantasy southpaw vs. southpaw matchup. Can't wait for that one.
Prograis-Zepeda is going to be a fn war, and its being held at the war grounds in socal? Im thinking about getting tickets to go to that one.
This year, Marc Leach vs. Chris Bourke was a Brit vs. Brit, southpaw vs. southpaw affair I really enjoyed, but more as a domestic masterpiece from Leach than as a fight; This content is protected Saunders-Ryder was cagey but compelling, from a time before these guys were world contenders; This content is protected Snap 'em up. If I was vaguely local, I wouldn't miss that one.
