    I had been suffering from insomnia for years, when I came across this fight on HBO. It not only put me to sleep, it also cured my insomnia forever! Now whenever I want to sleep, I just have to think about this fight and I'm out cold!

    Dempsey-Carpentier is available via ESPN classic On Demand.

    Very significant fight at the time and it was relatively competitive, while it lasted.

    Naseem "Prince" Hamad vs Kevin Kelley only lasted 4 rounds. But it contained knock downs galore.

    This fight gets better every time I watch it. It's in my top 10, and it's better than Barrera vs Morales I or III, which says something.

    yeh i really enjoy the back story behind it. barrera demolishing fighters but never any elite level fighters. mckinny played up this during the press conference saying "who has he beat? who has he knocked out" "nobodies" etc etc (barrera even punched him in one of the pressers)

    barrera just sticking to the body early on knowing it would pay off in the later rounds and thats exactly what it did, a perfect example of a fighter wearing down someone for a late round stoppage, the only bad thing about this fight were the amazing bodyshot that lifted mckinny up that was called a slip? and roy jones blatent ****riding of mckinny (they were friends so you expect as much but still)

    Thompson v Rothman, or Thompson V Sellers if you like comedy knockdowns

    Benn VS McClellan.

    It gets a very bad rep due to what happened after the fight but for those 10 rounds it was a real classic.
