    I just wanted to get some shout outs for some short exciting fights. Sadly I don't have the time to sit and watch full 15 rounders at the moment but still need my Youtube boxing fix. Any era (some more recent would be good!), around 5 rounds.

    Thanks in advance!

    If you have time for four rounds, this is Ring magazine’s 1984 Fight of the Year and it’s a doozy.

    Old school classic - first Liston vs Williams fight. Under 3 full rounds.

    A bit more modern - Duran vs Cuevas, less than 4 full rounds. Maybe just me, but I’ve always felt it was a very entertaining dust up.

    My man KT (Kostya Tszyu) vs Hurtado. Less than 5 full rounds.

    Exciting fight and KT’s later round concentration toward Hurtado’s body is something to behold (at least in my biased opinion).

    Excellent list here. First time seeing some of these. I think Muriqi might have had a TKO loss had there been a different ref in there.
