    On BoxRec the trilogy between Alabama Kid and Joe Sekyra sounds more exciting than Zale vs Graziano!

    I went to that, it was a one sided thrashing, with the Thai at his pomp. I think you might of meant Magri/Laciar?

    Hardly unknowns to most of you, and recommended if you have not seen then:

    Oliver/Mullings is a modern classic small hall brawl. Arguably the last time an Area title really mattered.

    Benn/Logan is always thrilling viewing if you have a spare 5 minutes or so.

    McGuigan/LaPorte is the war that showed McGuigan was for real.

    Hodkinson/VillasanaI: Heart break for Hoko.

    Andries/HardingIII: An often underrated trilogy, and this was the best of the three bouts IMO.

    Liles/LitttlesII: Good fun, poor timekeeping...

    McAuley/BassaI: An epic brawl, just when you figured out who is on top, they hit the deck!
