Best fights to watch lasting 1 to 15 rounds: Ultimate Viewer’s Guide

Awesome. I will get on that tomorrow (have a friend in town today … plus football to watch).

 

I finally have time to get back to this, and I’ve run into a bit of a problem. There’s a character account and as soon as I added a few fights and saved it told me the OP was exceeding it.

So I’m going to have to break the list up, delete some of the preamble so I can add what page the latest list is. I’ll make it 1-10 and 11-15 in separate posts since there is (and will continue to be) a longer list at 10, 12 and 15 rounds since those are traditional distances for main event/title bouts that go the limit.

I’ll get on that tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience but really it’s a testament to the success of this thread.

And yes @Jel just ran into life/work time crunch starting around Thanksgiving and while I’m on vacation this week I’ve spent a good bit of it catching up on some other stuff.

 

Here is the updated list, rounds 1-10. Couldn’t update the original post anymore due to character count limit.

I will update the original post to reflect that the full list is on this page. And I’ll keep updating this and an 11-15 post until we run out of room and have to make it three separate posts if it comes to that.
