    Man. I got shook watching this people fawn over "The war" and "Lyle v Foreman" this was better then both. 115lber monsters the pair of them absolute blood and concussion soup. Love both guys, Nana got off the canvas plenty, landed multiple 8 punch flurries on Moons dome and just wow Sung Kil Moon was a panzer tank he gave me a new found fear of being chased by a big predatorial animal like a panther, tiger, bear... He was a Wildman and couldn't be detoured by a Japanese bullet train, he'd punch that toy off the tracks or take it like that scene in Hancock. No losers here... except for Nana technically, Moon needed to learn not to swing that big freakin head of his and cut his best fights short. (Galaxy fight 1...)

    Bet you'd all be in here if it was about Tommy Morrison or Sonny Liston's age. Maybe if I found Cleveland Williams nudes?

    One of the best fights of the 90's. Moon was one of a kind.

    Nice to meet a real boxing fan! Sung Kil Moon was a honey badger. Fitting nickname would be "The Zombie" man wasn't in the mercy business he really slaughtered guys and would beat the tough ones into being saved.

    What did you think of his fight with Khaokor the first time around? what a gulf in size.

    The Thai monster looked like a really little bodybuilder.

    Unfortunately I haven't seen that one. I'll add it to the watch list.

    Something I find interesting about Moon is how much success he had in the amateurs. He really doesn't fight how you would expect a world level amateur to fight.

    This is a forgotten classic and a favourite fight of mine and I know @George Crowcroft is a fan too.

    In retrospect, for pure action, this was the most exciting fight of 1990.

    It is unsatisfactory with it's endling like this one with no true conclusion but awesome if that makes sense lol. Also Moon loses every second of the rematch with Khaokor. He (Galaxy) made a tribute of the match for his trainer in that one, his trainer died shortly before the fight so it was kind of a "Tokyo Douglas" situation lol.

    Oh God yes. Keep the dream alive. One day Moon will be talked about as much as Marciano! It was up there, I haven't seen all the big ones of the 90s but from what I HAVE seen. It couldn't exist outside the top 10.

    I'm not ashamed to call him an ATG.
