    All the Marquez Vasquez fights. 100 % evenly matched and the more effective counter puncher that night would win.. they split 2-2

    This is the first fight I thought of as well. To a lesser extent than this one I would say the first Jose Napoles - Hedgemon Lewis fight.

    Yeah, very little exciting action, but you can almost see them thinking in there. Great feints and defense by both guys.

    Benitez lost, but he certainly earned Leonard's respect. Leonard wasn't the type of guy to throw accolades at his opponents, but he did so with Benitez.
