    Fights from lesser known fighters, or a less prolific fight of one of the greats. Tell me about fights you feel aren't talked about enough that deserve recognition and why!

    Cuevas - Shields. Randy gave him all he could handle and very little let up the entire fight and you could see Cuevas had a lot of respect for him.

    Good ones with Gaspar Ortega, Sal. Made me also think of Ortega v Charley Scott and Scott v Jose Stable.

    Don Lee vs Tony Sibson i can't remember which member it was who recommended this fight @Jel or @scartissue. But i really enjoyed this fight when i watched it few months ago, alot of momentum shifts going back and forth,

    Arturo Gatti vs Jose Sanabria you might be surprised to see a Gatti fight on a "Hidden Gem" thread. But i never see anyone talk about this early fight from Gatti's career, i remember it being very entertaining and competitive.

    Earl Harlgrove vs Don King/Mark Medal absolute barnburners these two fights.
