    One of the best rounds of boxing I have ever seen and one of the best fights I have seen was the ABA Quarter Final in 2003 at the Manor Top WMC in Sheffield between Martin Conception v Jimmy Fletcher... Fletcher got the nod, I thought Conception got it.... That was a great fight, never seen any footage of it since... Anybody seen it???...:think

    I felt sorry for Austin that fight ...he was more or less controlling proceedings until he got stopped. The bloke was a decent long time champ who always looked so fragile with his stick frame and freakishly long arms

    Gotta hand it to Marquez though, he really bit down on the gum shield after getting rocked early in the round.

    Austin was a good bit past his peak by this point in his career though.

    Austin may have been past prime, but not by much and with a KO % over 80% he had very few miles on the clock....a very good win for Marquez, typical Mexican fighter, enough said really:deal

    Nowhere near the best round ever, or even this year, but it's good to see current HWs going at it like they used to, Minto has got some guts:

    The first 45 seconds are slow, but once Minto gets knocked down he fights even harder.

    A good round of boxing, but all those moobs on display are fairly disconcerting. There was more back-bacon in that ring than on a Danish pig farm.

    Minto should boil down to cruiser, and Christine should just shape up, he has a decent engine and all the excess blubber isn't doing him any favours

    Indeed! When I said Minto had some guts I was referring not just to his will power under duress.

    Both guys were fighting on pure instinct at one stage! I do not know how there was a winner because both were fcuked, out of it!

    Chacon vs Limon round 15 was amazing but in the context of the whole fight it literally was hanging on the blance
