    Hi there. I’m hoping someone out there can help me. I watched a fight on tv in, maybe 2011. I think it was at York Hall. It was the best fight I ever watched. Middle-weight(ish). Both British. They went toe to toe and one ended up with a broken jaw. He defended and defended and eventually managed to get a proper body blow in and broke the other guy’s ribs. I can’t remember even how the fight ended but it was incredible. Problem is I can’t remember who the fighters were. I remember the commentators raves about it as, maybe, the best fight they’d ever seen. Can anyone help me out?

    On that basis, I have ruled out any Audley Harrison fights.

    The only broken jaw I remember is the Ricky Burns v Beltran fight but that was in Glasgow.

    That was a cracking fight and no idea how Burns made it to the final bell nor how the fight was scored a draw.

    Yeah I watched it Jurgen. Pretty sure it was either the 2nd or 4th round Burns got his jaw broken.

    Beltran won the fight by at least 3 - 4 rounds and I was a massive Burns fan.

    What heart Ricky showed. He is in the same category as Carl Froch regarding his heart and chin.

    Random fights I found with certain Google parameters. Couple of broken jaws and a body shot stoppage around that time.

    Gavin-Vassell
    Dickinson-Turba
    Woodhouse-Smith

    I also tried using Twitter's "until:" function with "jaw" "ribs" and other combos. Odds are if it was a random undercard bout, you'll need somebody who remembers it off the top.

    I dont remember either of them receiving broken ribs or a broken jaw, altho If it was that fight you can bet it was Mitchell with the broken ribs and Murray with the broken jaw.
    That was another British classic tbf. I remember Mitchell stopping Murray in the 8th with a lead hook.
    Put kev back on the map after his bad defeat to kasidis.

    I can’t remember this fight either. Thinking about exciting tear ups around that time made me think of Cello Renda vs Paul Samuels though.

    Wasn’t a british fight but another that came to mind was Abraham vs Miranda.

    Hi everyone. Thanks for the help. I have to confess I’m not a boxing officianado but none of those names ring a bell. It was definitely an undercard fight. I had a feeling that one of the boxers had a name mcsomething or Macsomething but I can’t be sure. It might have ended with one corner throwing in the towel...but I can’t even be sure of that. I’m AM almost certain it was at York Hall 2011 but it could’ve been a bit earlier.

    I bet it was Earl vs katsidis.
    Yea that was one of my fav British fights too.
    I was thrown a bit cos I was looking for 2 British fighters. Katsidis is an ozzy.
    Altho I don't remember either of them getting broken ribs or jaw the towel came in from Earls corner and was duly thrown out by Micky Vann.
    If it wasn't these two the TS should go back and watch it anyway. What a fight.

    Enzo Mac v Shane McPhilbin was also a cracking fight with the latter being ripped off when Enzo went down heavily in the first round and the cheating fookers rung the bell 1 minute early.
