Give me one exciting fighter for me to follow

Fighting Harada has a lot of good fights that will introduce you to some of the highest levels of boxing. Watching Harada will also make you a fan of a lot of his opponents whom are all monsters in there own right.

If I had to pick one of many for you it’s him. Start with the Rose bout that’s some top tier boxing by both men and it’s in colour. It’s just amazing stuff.

Follow that up with Jose Napoles, Alexis Arguello and James Toney. That’s one hell of a line up all exciting all at one point on the cusp of perfection all with ATG competition. You can’t ask for better, I won’t steer you wrong.

 

Jeff Fenech. That’s a name that belongs in this discussion a bit more modern, rich line up of fighters and not vulnerable in the slightest, he was an iron man with an endless gas tank and the strength of a bull the man was just a barbarian. Tough night for anyone and the best us Aussie have. A real ATG and an intense terror.

 

Danny Lopez made a career off the excitement he drew. Brute with a nuke of a punch. A real guilty pleasure watch of mine, I don’t expect to learn a lot about “boxing” watching him but I’m never bored.

 

Dwight Qawi. He’s just brilliant viewing, technically he’s pretty damn good but in terms of getting me riled up he’s one of the best. Rolling, weaving and bobbing he comes at you and turns the fight into a blood stained hurricane. NON NEGOTIABLE viewing if you haven’t.

 

Merqui Sosa was a very exciting fighter despite being very obscure. His wars against Prince Charles Williams are literally must see fights. Then you have his fight with James Toney where he gave him his first tough test. Thomas Tate fight was a closet classic, a very entertaining scrap. Tyrone Frazier was an exhilarating fight, two fighters stood toe to toe without taking a step back. They both fought and maintained a furious pace and from start to finish. Recently his bout with Frankie Liles have been uploaded to yt, and that fight was also great. Paul Davis and Roy were short but filled with action.

Sosa had a crowd pleasing style. He like to stay tight with his opponents, overwhelm them with his strength and pound then mercilessly. He had a unique style too. Very awkward, unbelievable tough and extremely heavy handed. Just start with his fight with Williams, a great display of brutality and violence.

 

Jorge Paez. The footage speaks for itself. I very much recommend the fights with Dorsey. Unorthodox, charismatic and fearless.

Sung Kil Moon. Watching him is an odd viewing. He didn’t care that was his style, he didn’t care and he punched very hard for a very long time and was seemingly powered by the crowds viewing pleasure.

Carlos Zarate was the grim reaper of his division. Essential viewing. Carlos just took guys souls. His nickname should’ve been “creeping death” very fitting.

 

Nigel Benn. Started out has a wild, massive, exciting puncher. Suffered a shock ko loss. Went to America and won the WBO belt. Had a really impressive ko in one over Barkley.

Lost in a classic, to Eubank.
Built himself back up and became an excellent Super middle champ in Italy.
Made a list of exciting defences.
Lost to Sugar Boy Malinga.
Had two more attempts to beat Steve Collins then retired.
Quite a journey.

 

Joichiro Tatsuyoshi. Not quite a super fan myself or anything but I’ve always been impressed by his ability to as one poster said “put it all on the line” he was a bad man and embodied that Japanese drink your blood or die attitude in boxing culture.

 

The two Koreans fate refused to match because she’s a cruel cow of a woman. Chang Jung-koo and Yuh Myung Woo. Chainsaws in the ring a fight between the two would’ve echoed half a thousand years after the fact as one of the best fights ever.

Anyways, pick a fight at random of there’s and enjoy. Before you pick a side in the fan club war just know if you pick Chang you’re wrong and your opinion is worthless.

An exciting fighter with real speed and power. You should watch his famous wars in the early 90s where he showed great losing efforts against some elite fighters (Mercer, Holyfield, Moorer). His battle against Henry Tillman, Andre McCall, Carlos Hernandez, Loren Ross and Joe Mesi are exciting to watch. Watch Willie DeWitt if you want to see him destroy people

 

I’ll add one more before I get banned for spamming or something LOL. Sandy Saddler. He’s an iron chinned, gun shot punching, praying mantis looking guy who just beat guys up alleyway style.

He won however he felt like it and would spit in the face of the refs commands. Take a point it’s not going to the judges!

At his weight at his best Ol Saddler was about the best fighter to have lived and honestly I think he’d take guys multiple weight classes above him in an actual alleyway. Vicious panzer tank punching hard a$$!

never saw a bad Bob Satterfield fight. Layne v Satterfield Charles v Satterfield they’re all good. His speed and power were ridiculous but he himself didn’t have the best chin which made his fights all the more entertaining. He was a big partier and drugs and booze probably hindered his career. When he started I don’t know.

 

I actually like Satterfield, much as that might surprise folks. Fearless, puts a lot of guys to shame when it comes to eagerness. So quick, his shots looked like they were gonna hurt. You could see the murderers gleam on every shot. Most punches look performed and with that Lumberjack axe at work style his looked oddly emotional and dramatic like a serial killer swinging a cleaver.
