    I don't think you've quite got him to come round, he's either being stubbern or genuinely hates my guts and is holding one hell of a grudge

    I'm new here. Let's see, where do I start.

    Arturo Gatti vs Mickey Ward I - Round 9

    Gatti cringes in pain from a body punch to get pummeled for most of the round only to come back punching. At the end of the round Jim Lampley starts squealing "Stop the fight, you can stop it Frank!" But Gatti's heart won't let him go down. I love the moment at the end when Emanuel Stewart says at the end of the round, "AND HERE COMES GATTI AGAIN." Easily one of the best rounds of boxing. The whole trilogy is awesome (Not on a technical level).

    The 10th Round of Holyfield vs Bowe. Got to love that warrior.

    A lot of early Tyson's fight do it, I really love that one announcer (Don't know his name he also called the Ali Foreman fight with Frazier and Jim Brown). The Tyson Berbick fight with Tyson's vicious shots and Trevor just wobbling around. The commentating makes the fight even better. The Tyson Spinks fight as well. "And the question is who in this world can beat this guy."

    Also love the entire Douglas Tyson fight, especially when Tyson drops Douglas to which Douglas gets up and starts beating on Tyson to eventually knock him out. Magical.

    Marciano 1 punch KO on Jersey Joe to win the title.

    George Foreman knocks out Michael Moore "It happened!"

    Ali vs Cleveland Williams... what a performance he practically doesn't get touched that fight.

    Ali vs Frazier I where Ali shakes his head after gets hit with a big shot. As to say "No he can't hurt me."

    Ali vs Foreman where the place goes absolute crazy when Ali wins.

    Jersey Joe shuffling his way to get knocked out by Joe Louis.

    Not really mate. The better team won , despite Tim Howard's Chocolate Wrists. I'm surprised at how little an effect the loss had on me actually. I'm hardly bothered at all. It's strange. :huh

    Haha, yeah i'm like that, i hate watching games when you lose and don't deserve to, but when you lose and the other team deserve to win, i seem to take it really easy.

    Emanuel Burton's two fisted punch on Ray Olivera, just rewatched the fight and thought of this thread. Comedic genius!

    Good one.

    The other thing was I had wanted to see Holmes get tagged early in a round and see if he could survive. Before that, he'd get hurt but it was always late in a round and he'd survive 30 seconds or so and recover in the corner. He certainly knew how to hold a guy and kill a clock. And I wanted to see him hurt against a top notch finisher & see if he could escape. Shavers has lots of ko's, but he rarely got the elite competition out of there once he hurt them.

    In that spirit, Shannon Briggs and Lewis grinning across the ring to each other from their stools, between the 3rd and 4th round. Lots of macho posturing in that fight but that bit always makes me smile too.

    Tyson knocking out Michael 'Jack' Johnson, mainly for the slo-mo replay with Johnson's afro rippling from the impact.

    Judah getting up way too fast against Tsyzu and launching into the infamous chicken dance.
    "Don't play with matches!"

    Buster Douglas systematically taking the supposedly invincible Mike Tyson to the cleaners.
    "Pick up that mouthpiece, Mike, that's right, pick it up..." :lol::lol:

    i also like the way JMM and Diaz goad each other on after the brutal first round of theirs
