    I recall Sanchez looking fine (facially anyways) when Nelson was pounding on him.

    MAB very good pick i m surprised that you are first to post it, for me him and Hagler definitely never changed face expressions during fight!

    Well my fav fighter to follow now is JMM so I do have a high appreciation for MAB. Both great fighters ;)

    Every fighter has those heated,angry stares every now and then lol. Good choices and I would also agree that Marciano seem unfazed even when being dropped or hurt. The guy just grinded it out with his punishing style.

    Louis is a bad one IMO, when he was hurt you seen it. He looked wide-eyed and worried. The KO loss to Schmeling has a rabbit in the headlights moment just before the final punch.
