    Actionwise, How about Benitez-Curry. (Especially between Benitez & his Dad, between rounds)!

    Joey Giardello vs Henry Hank 1962 and Dick Tiger vs Frankie De Paula 1968. Both were rated fights of the year.

    Tate--Knoetze was another. I love the guys willing to be a road warrior and go into a guys backyard where 60,000 are cheering for the hometown guy and the road warrior takes him apart.

    Already mentioned was another road warrior victory Monzon--Benvenuti.

    Ahumada going into NM and getting the draw with Foster.

    other non road warrior bouts would include
    chacon--olivares 1

    Lopez/Ayala and both Arguello/Escalera fights are on You Tube. Not the best quality, but certainly watchable.
