Round 1: Meza vs Garza Round 3: Benn vs Gent Round 5: Avelar vs Vásquez Round 7: Yaegashi vs Pornaswan
just checked out Johnson-Stewart I, good first round, especially the furious exchanges 30 secs before the bell
To be fair, almost every first round with Satterfield is epic. But if I were to list underrated rounds it'd be Foreman-Young 7 Jackson-Tate 5 Norris-Waters 2 Satterfield-Brothers 1
Frazier vs. Quarry 1, 1st round. Usually underrated, but a very exciting round in my view. (I had bet big on Frazier stopping Quarry, with a friend I watched the fight with. For a moment there I thought it could possibly go the other way. My friend was giving me the business, too. Quarry was crazy and on the attack in that 1st round.)

2 obscure rounds from a couple of forgotten fights would be the 12th round of Frank 'The Animal' Fletcher v Clint Jackson and the 12th round again from the Terrance Alli v John Meekins bout. You guys would love them.
It’s floating around the archives somewhere, but I did a poll series where people voted for the best completed rounds 1-15 (no rounds that were stopped).
