    Duran Leonard 1 is the first that comes to mind.

    And Gomez-Sanchez.

    Jmm vs Juan diaz

    Ahhhh man. Great scrap. Imma watch on youtube right now. I remember Juan coming out like a fuc*ing savage. You slowly see JMM making his mark on him with counter and body shots. Great great fight. Probably Juan Diaz best performance even though he lost.

    Nunn-Kalambay? I wouldn’t really say Sumbu had a chance to show his skills.

    His fights with McCallum were high skill. The first fight might be one of the best defensive performances I’ve seen.

    I do think it’s one of more underrated classic (and unlikely) knockouts out there. That shot Nunn landed was LOUD

    I used to have a couple of those Greatest Ever KOs type videos when I was younger (pre me having the internet) and that KO was one of the ones on there. I had no idea at the time it was considered such an anomaly given how durable a fighter Kalambay was and Nunn not being regarded as a one punch KO kind of guy. I just assumed that Nunn was a huge puncher and that was normal for him. Great KO.

    Once again, Lomachenko is the most skilled fighter in the world today.................you can't beat him as far as skills.............

    Halger vs Bennie Brisco
    (Hagler was forced to box and back-peddle) he didn't stand and trade like he did with Mugabi. He even switched hit, southpaw then orthodox. Turned Brisco, countered him- jab was magnificent!~


    Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez.
    At times it was a straight brawl, but Salvador dictated the pace, cut the ring off. Knew when to fight inside & when to take a step back and pepper that jab.


    Paulie Ayala vs Johnny Tapia
    Loved Tapia who could brawl and box. They both could, but only one man can win.


    Meldrick Taylor vs Buddy McGirt
    Meldrick was in rare form combinations abound. Buddy was battling a shoulder injury but u wouldn't know it. By the stoppage--Meldrick was still throwing 4-5-6 shots upstairs, downstairs, inside game and outside. 2 skilled guys who started the 1st round out by brawling, it was great.


    Low-profile fight
    Carlos Quintana vs Joel Julio
    Both undefeated, risking their (0). One of the few time I agreed with Max Kellerman. Carlos footwork a thing of beauty. He kept changing, circle left, then right. Spun Julio, boxed him from outside, spanked him from the inside. Outside of his 1st win over P. Williams Carlos would never put on a show like this one.

    I remember watching this one! Great evenly matched fight. Carlos Quintana wasn't the best but dude came to put in work. Very respectable fighter.

    Imma watch this one today. Im still not done with JMM and j. Diaz.
