    Lewis vs Klitschko 2003.

    Turned out to be Lennox's final fight of his career.

    The Mid-fifties Middleweight bouts, with SRR, Fullmer, Basilio, and the tier slightly below them. But I was very young watching crude B/W TV, when my Dad and his buddies went back to the kitchen to get a beer at the start of round 1 of Marciano vs Walcott 2, with the Rock winning by KO at 2:25 in round 1 of 15. I didn't understand why they were all bissed off coming out of the kitchen.

    Great 70's, early 80's fight review above ^^^ by Richdanahuff. Speaking of Holmes-C**ney, a friend off mine had a "H vs C" PPV Fight watching party at his apartment...and a big Thunderstorm came thru Dallas about 10 minutes before the Fight started, and took down his pre-paid fight subscription; so he kept punching the refresh button on the crude cable remote, maybe 30 times or so; so next month Comcast Cable Company sent him a bill for about $1500, if I remember correctly.

    Gavilan-Basilio in 1953,

    remember watching DeMarco-Basilio with my dad in 1955. We didn't know either by name, but were rooting for DeMarco mainly because he was shorter. I recall my Mom coming in and asking how it was going and each of us replying that the little guy was doing very well. He immediately got knocked through the ropes and she laughed.

    I remember the Gavilan fight because the announcer mentioned his name meant hawk and that stuck in my mind, as well as Gavilan being knocked down with the announcer being certain he would come back.

    Yeah Maske was OK a LtHeavvyweight I was referring to Schulz toughness taking Foremans punches and lumping George up. He wasn't expected to be that kind of a challenge it was a good fight
