    Makes me really sad that I can't watch any of these with that "new fight" feeling.

    Serves you right for watching about 3,000 fights a year! ;)

    There’s more toe-to-toe, balls-to-the-walls action in less than a full round of Mancini-Frias than in most 12-rounders.

    I’ll also throw in Troy Dorsey-Jorge Paez (both fights).

    And Frank Fletcher-Clint Jackson is a complete war.

    Danny Lopez-Mike Ayala is one that comes right to mind.

    :lol:

    In all seriousness, though, I didn't watch anywhere near that much last year. I probably watched more than that in 2020 though :lol:

    Too lazy to check if @roughdiamond has mentioned it but Jiro Watanabe vs Soon Chun Kwun is very entertaining and unheralded. The gap in class between the two isn’t too apparent it’s nice and competitive and Kwun makes up for it anyway by being a very dirty fighter in the most entertaining manner possible.

    Yuh Myung Woo the Korean fighter we wish we saw Chang fight I think is a good place to look. “Down pour” had excellent competition to measure to and always made himself work.

    Whats nice for us and probably at Yuh’s determinant is he liked to square up a lot and it made things very interesting! I’ll post the fights I like of his soon for people who might not have watched him. Though you could pick one at random and you won’t be disappointed.

    Boza Edwards-Bazooka Limon is kind of an over-looked classic

    @George Crowcroft If you haven’t check out Yuri Arbachakov vs Chatchai Sasakul 1. I’ve not watched the second one in a bit but it was good from memory.
