    Hagler vs Hearns R1, Corrales vs Castillo R10, you name it, they are great but I just watched this video and it still sends a shiver down my spine...

    I agree. This is my favourite round in boxing. Gatti seriously hurt by the body shot early, but manages to recover well and land some bombs when Ward got tired. Tables turned again late on in the round when Gatti takes the shots flush. 'Can you believe there's still a minute and a half to go in this round'...perfectly sums it up! So much action!

    Yeah i love Corrales-Catillo I (Round 10). But this seems so pure, no controversy nothing tarnishes it. The expressions, The Emotions, The Punches, The Atmosphere, Just Pure...Bliss!!!!!!!

    Great back 'n' forth action, but i'd prefer a round where there was at least some attempt at trying to avoid punches.

    Does anybody remember Sithchatchawal (spelling) v. Monchipour? I think there were some brillient rounds in that, the ending was particularly dramatic IIRC.
