    Just finished watching Gaspar Ortega v Charley Scott.

    I remember @PhillyPhan69 saying that there's something about 10 rounders that makes them a satisfying distance. I agree. It's in the same way that 15 rounds is satisfying for championship fights (and 12 is not).

    What are some classic 10 rounders you've watched over the years from any era?

    Just a few I can think of now

    Ortega vs Paret & Basilio
    Fullmer vs Lausse
    Tiger vs Hank, DePaula & Nino
    Fletcher vs Sabater

    Hagler vs Briscoe was good too, but not like the ones above. Obviously Gatti-Ward too.

    @The Morlocks should be amazing at answering this.

    For sleepers, try Harry Arroyo - Robin Blake, a not-so-sleeper in Mando Ramos- Sugar Ramos, and maybe Gaspar Ortega - Florentino Fernandez.

    Hamsho-Minter I thought was good fun, and the decision still gets debated here this far along.....

    This is definitely a classic technical fight, but is it really a classic in the same way Gaspar/Scott is?
