    Sven Ottke vs. John Ruiz

    The action was so intense and never-letting-up that I promise you won't blink one time the whole fight. A fight for the purists and casuals alike. The Legend of this fight will outlast boxing itself, and both men are now immortal gods. Lawrence Okolie was the ref, so you know the tempo of the fight was exciting and fast. You're welcome.

    Lately I've watched Floyd vs Maidana 1 and Floyd vs Cotto.
    Despite the coronavirus situation, it's still a good time to be alive when you can watch any old fight in hd at the click of a button.

    Yesterday I watched Chavez vs Taylor. I always have a good laugh hearing the commentary on that fight.
    While Chavez is hammering Taylor to the body and landing hard right hands to Taylor's face, the HBO broadcast crew talk right over
    Chavez' great work to only focus on anything Taylor does in the fight. They Marvel at Taylor's flurry of combinations when only 1 of 7 or 8 shots land.
    …….and when Chavez digs a double hook to the body followed by a head jarring shot to the head, the commentators still haven't shut up salivating over Taylor's previous flurry where only one shot got in.

    Today I watched Marquez-Pacquiao 4! KTFO6! It brought me joy!!! :D

    This is sage advice , I've through various reasons ie work , ppv etc not really been as active a fan as I once was, it's
    time to get YouTube casting on more recent fights I've for whatever reason missed.

    my go-to choices, many mentioned already.


    Wilder-Fury 1.
    obviously Hearns-Hagler plus 'the round' from Bowe-Holyfield.
    Hamed-Kelley
    Calzaghe-Kessler.
    Klitschko-Lewis
    a couple of Mayweather's best including maybe DLH.

    a nice mix of slugfest & more measured fights, and great fighters showing both greatness and vulnerability.
