Garza/Meza was a fun bout A little longer but full of excitement and controversy, as Jel mentioned, was Liles/LittlesII
Not saying it’s terrible. It’s something for its day but still very one-sided. It got famous because it become part of Dempsey’s legend — ‘got knocked clean out of the ring but pulled himself back in to knock his man out.’
As I said, it's your choice,world champion gets briefly dropped,lambastes his challenger who then turn on his tormentor and puts him out of the ring .Thats a deal of excitement in a 2 rds fight.imo
Dempsey and Firpo as someone mentioned. One of the best short ones in early heavyweight fights for sure.
