    Talking of small halls, the best fight I ever saw was one of Warrens first legal showings, think it was at Seymour Hall, maybe late 70s ear;y 80s, between Rocky Kelly and Gary Knight, both hit the canvas twice, an all out war, not even sure who won ? any body remember, or was you there ?

    The Asian Boxing Closet Classic has a shed tonne of these

    For those interested:
    https://www.asianboxing.info/features/category/closet-classic

    They include:
    Jong Kil Kim vs Jong Jong Pacquing
    Takanori Hatakeyama vs Hiroyuki Sakamoto (and pretty much every Hatakeyama fight TBH, the Choi bouts, Sim, Arisawa, Yoshimura)
    Ji Hoon Kim vs Mark Sales
    Hae Won Kim vs Hyun Joong Kim
    Osamu Sato Vs Willie Jorrin
    Hikaru Nishida vs Tomohiro Ebisu

    The series has a nice mix of obscure and more well known, worth a look and a new one is added every week

    I'm sure some of you have, but not all I conjecture.

    Kelly won the 8 round decision in 82.

    I did not see that particular fight, but fondly remember Rocky Kelly. For those who do not know; he always seemed to give good value, and was a whole heated trier, who was good enough to fight for domestic honours.

    Yeah, he’s like a low budget Arguello/Louis knock-off. Made for some fun fights.

    Absolutely. I've only seen two fights (Gomez & the one you mentioned) but I enjoyed it.

    Gabriel Bernal vs. Antoine Montero
    Bernal goes to France to fight the plucky European and tries to stop the WBC Fly title from changing hands for an eighth consecutive bout. Lots of great infighting in this one.

    Betulio Gonzalez vs. Martin Vargas
    Vargas starts off fast here and gives us the rare sight of Gonzalez getting backed against the ropes and hammered. Around the ninth Gonzalez decides to step it up a bit and Vargas has to survive the same treatment.

    Excellent mention in the first. I haven't seen the second, but I'm familiar with both guys and I can't wait to watch it!
