    Where's JCC fight?

    That corkscrew punch was lethal for causing a cut.

    I picked Ike Quartey. Total adversity faced and overcame with that 12th round. THat was a homerun with a 3-2 pitch and down by 1.

    I voted for the Vargas fight. He was fighting a younger, stronger opponent in a higher weight class. He weathered early adversity, boxed beautifully, and pressured him perfectly to finish the fight by TKO.

    I still think DLH was very lucky to get the decision against Quartey.

    he had other good fights in his pre-jnr welter days that could make that list.

    He earned it. Quartey was winning until the 12th but it was close. Oscar put everything on the line in the 12th like I've never seen him do prior or after in his career and it paid off.

    Oba Carr, Gernaro Hernandez, R Ruelas, Chavez were some other good ones

    looking at the cards, even if Quartey had won the 12th he would have lost the fight.

    Quartey was winning by a point on my scorecard up until the 12th.

    It was until the last few rounds. He really **** that one away, although he still did enough to win fairly comfortably.

    This is the first fight I remember him struggling a bit and relying on pure power rather than outboxing his opponent. He got the job done but it brings to mind future aspects of his career where he could have won on points but chose to chase for knockouts. This was DLH's worse habit, chasing for the ko.
