    Sometimes, a fight can be ugly when both fighters play dirty.

    What were some such fights?

    I heard Fullmer was a notoriously dirty fighter. That's why Robinson had trouble with him.

    Limon-Chacon 2-3. 4 was cleanly fought. Limon was great to see fight in person.

    Pedroza vs LaPorte, although is was pretty much all Pedroza on the fouling. Ridiculous amount of low blows and the ref did nothing.

    Fenech vs Villasana

    Though it was Villasana doing all the rabbit punching and hitting below the belt, Fenech used his signature brand of rough housing

    Coetzee-Schutte where they were kicking each other in the shins. Just cannot recall at the moment if it was first time or the rematch.

    I've never seen it, but the Wepner--Schutte fight had to be a foulfest given the style of both guy's & was Wepner's last fight.

    Fritzie Zivic vs Henry Armstrong...probably their 1st fight....the one that Zivic said the ref told him that if they wanted to foul each other, that he wouldn't stop them.
