    What are some of the favorite light-heavyweight fights are around here?.....Moore/Durelle 1, Saad Muhammed/Lopez 2, Kates, and Johnson 1 and 2 are obvious, but are there any obscure ones?

    Spinks - Lopes is always overlooked.

    I like that 2nd Michalczewski--Hall fight as a sleeper. Dariusz was busted up all over the place early in the first round and it became a Saad Muhammad type comeback from the brink of defeat. Not too many guys can be bleeding all over the place and go on and continue with their original fight plan and come out of it with the W.

    Those Andries--Harding fights were entertaining as well.

    For a classy matchup involving guys with skillsets giving 100%, I always liked the Conteh--Ahumada fight.

    Went to Harding/AndriesIII; brilliant brawl and Andries was darn unlucky to drop the decision IMO.

    Williams/CzyzI was fun

    Well, Maske-Rocchigiani I and II because of their meaning for German boxing. DM-Rocchigiani I was a good fight unil that BS decision. DM-Hill was also good. Just to mention some rarely mentioned fights.

    I was just watching them the other day...The two Adamek-Briggs fights were absolute barnburners.

    Also Foster-Finnigan, anything with Saad Muhummed in it and of course Andries-Harding.

    And had Tommy down as well, even if the ref did not see the punch.

    That right in the sixth was arguably Tommy's last great right hand.
