    That was the Barry Michael-Lester Ellis fight.

    Another really good fight and more famous in Australia but Michael-Ropis was the better fight. A poor mans Thrilla in Manilla excepting that the action was just as good, even if the fighters weren't.

    The inspirational Joe Hughes vs Anthony Yigit for the European 140lb title. Great bout!

    That was a wonderful find, Hardy's recovery was something else and Padilla landed some frightful shots, too.

    I think this a rarely mentioned fight. Spadafora prefers to box, but felt he could handle whatever Dorin could dish out, so they stood in the middle of the ring and banged for 12 rounds. High punch output fight.

    Cory Spinks had lost 2 in a row & a new kid Lattimore 19-1 16kos was a hot prospect. From the start it was obvious Spinks reflexes were gone, legs looked shot. Should be over quickly.

    But something happened around 3rd or 4th round. Spinks chose to set down on his shots and stand & trade. A dog fight began. Who knew Spinks could bang his way back in the fight and edge out a SD win. Haven't watched it in years and about to shortly. Hopefully what I'm writing is on par that it was great fight few watched.

    Wow forgot all about Trice. I remember he called out James Toney a few times. Solid fighter, who brought out the best in his foes.

    Caveman Lee vs. Johnny LoCicero is worth a shout. An all-out war.
