I know everyone has a couple of those. Fights where your favourite boxer was so beaten up, or extremely hurt, or fought dishonorably, or just so old and shot that you just cannot enjoy re-watching it again. Even if it was a classic fight, you just don't have it in you to watch again, for a long time. Can you name at least 3 of yours?
ODLH-Sturm I actually had it a draw, but Oscar was in his worst shape ever in that fight. Had he been tip top like he was against Mayorga or Hopkins, even the PBF version would have KO Sturm.
Dela Hoya-Hopkins Lewis vs Tua Mayweather-Marquez Mosley vs Mayorga Ruiz vs everyone bar Haye and Tua
A recent one.. the last Vasquez-Marquez. I can't watch the replays. They've shown it maybe 3 times already. I didn't watch it.
Haye VS Ruiz I couldn't make it to the end, it was quite painful to watch him getting beaten up after such a valiant display...
Penalosa-Tokuyama Oh man that fight's so frustrating to watch. if only Gerry was blessed with longer limbs.
Morales-Pac III I have watched it 2 times. Live and then once about a year ago. I still remember Eriks face when he was down admitting to himself he just couldnt win. When i saw it that second time i actually realized it was a pretty good 3 rounds. They both traded very well. Morales was just not his usual self.
Duran/Joppy was disgusting. Shockingly the inspiration of Rocky-Wepner VS Ali. I thought that was a godawful fight to watch. Really don't care if I ever see it again, honestly. Oh, and Ali VS Rudi Lubbers. ...pure ****. At the least, unlike a lot of other recent challengers, including some young ones, he can say he did everything he could to get it done. He should have a hell of a lot more peace of mind than Kevin Johnson, for instance.
