    Simple enough - list your top 15 fights all time that lasted X number of rounds (as follows):

    a 1 round fight
    a 2 round fight
    a 3 round fight …

    … all the way up to a 15 round fight.

    Only one fight per example.

    So it did. I remember round 2 being a memorable one but obviously misremembered that it didn’t end there. Will have to think of another! You’re right - two round classics are not that obvious.

    Great list, D! Corrales-Castillo completely slipped my mind. Can’t believe I forgot that. Marquez-Diaz 1 is a fantastic choice as well.

    Great stuff. I forgot about Ramirez-Rosario 2 for the four round fight. That’s a great one!

    Al great individual rounds Flo, but that wasn’t quite the point of the thread.

    Alright - yeah I think so brother, sorry. I don’t know if I could do a full 1-15 like you fellas all the violence has kinda become a long featureless highway in my brain with a few pit stops lol. I can’t even tell you how long my favourite fight is without checking it and I’d be here all day if I tired to do 15. All KO’s happen at some point and all of Griffiths go the distance that’s about where my head is at now.

    Edit: Also great idea for a thread Jel that is for the guys who have a functioning memory.
