A fight where it was not only boxing, but also a personal matter

The Chacon vs. Limon series of fights.

 

Monroe Brooks v Bruce Curry - former friends, but now it was over a woman.

Terry McGovern v Young Corbett (can't be bothered looking up which bout it was but it was the one where Corbett won the title) - Corbett just purposely went out of his way to **** McGovern off.

Tony Ayala v Robbie Epps - the Ayala clan felt slighted saying that Ayala Sr. spent a lot of time teaching Epps only for him to leave their stable and Tony went out of his way to make it as personal as possible.

 

Mayorga vs Spinks. Mayorga taunted Spinks over the death of his mother before the fight. Just about as shitty of a person as you can be.

 

Eubank Benn, Froch Groves. Despite what people think about the Haye-Bellew fights/rivalry im one of the few who thinks David Haye had/has a genuine disdain for Bellew, imagine losing to somebody that annoying twice in that manner who you’d have splattered in a couple of rounds in your prime. A lot of people think they just sold the public a lie, and Bellew definitely didn’t dislike Haye as much as vice versa but I was at the press conference in Liverpool when Haye went off and you could see in his eyes and face the serious hate he had for Bellew, which was only increased by losing to him twice

 

Johnny Tapia vs Danny Romero both from Albuquerque, alot of bad blood between the two before the fight. I also heard there was threat of gang violence over the fight aswell.

 

He did, but he changed completely after the fight, he paid them full respect.

 

The funny thing is that now, any time that fight is brought up, Tyson becomes the biggest Holmes apologist.

 

I always understood Terry Norris and Paul Vaden were battling over a woman behind the scenes when they fought.

Alvino Manson got Marvin Johnson riled up before their local Indpls fight. I believe it culminated in some pushing and shoving at the weigh in. We all saw how that ended.
