    I've never seen all of those, but I watched Medel-Pimentel. Medel was dropped at the mid round and he made a comeback at the later rounds. truly epic.

    I always associate Joey Giardello with the 60s because of when he won the world title so I forget he was a world class middleweight by the early 50s and that he fought the likes of Billy Graham and Gil Turner. He's an underrated fighter to this day.

    Truly. An all-time great middleweight absolutely. He was well beyond his prime when he won the title.

    James Pipps v Carmelo Negron. A great fight that nobody talks about because, to the best of my knowledge, it is not available online.
    But it was filmed- I owned a copy- and it was televised on the USA network as the main event, with Holyfield's 7th fight as the semi main.
