Great obscure fights? Quality boxing, unknown wars, etc.

Thompson V almost anyone. His fights with Sellars, Rothman and Eubank were brilliant.

Props to the fella that mentioned McCallum-Toney. Rare to see a technical feast that is so exciting.

 

Lee-Onizuka
Poorpramook-Hernandez I
Dorin-Balbi I

 

McCallum-Toney isn't terribly obscure, though........

 

dave boy mcauley v rodolpho blanco was a great 5 knockdown slugfest

Dempsey vs firpo what a fight its well known but not much watched?

Julian Letterlough vs Julio Cesar Gonzalez
Jorge Castro vs John David Jackson #1

 

Since it earns the label "obscure" by virtue of almost never being mentioned...I nominate the titanic war of 1973...Arnold Taylor vs Romeo Anaya.

 

13-5 Jesse Feliciano upsetting Vince Phillips on ESPN FNF

In a 10 rounder both guys threw about 900-100 punches it mighta broke the combined compubox record which in turn was broken by Salido vs Cruz

Actually Feliciano had a good stretch of televised fights also destroying Delvin Rodriguez long before Cotto did and going tooth and nail with Alfonso Gomez to a 8 round draw

He got a title fight with Cintron but was KOd in a good perormancd even walked Cintron to his corner to show him up in the round before he was put away

Boxrec has no encyclopedia page on the fight and I've never seen it uploaded anywhere

 

James Pipps vs Carmelo Negron.

 

Alfonso Zamora vs Alberto Sandoval Love it

 

Bert Cooper v. Henry Tillman was a good fight. Tillman was hyped before that one and Bert was largely unknown at the time. I think if Bert had trained hard and stayed at Cruiserweight he may have been able to win a world title. He probably was only inferior to Hollyfield and maybe Qwai at the time. Cooper v. those two at Crusierweight in 86 or 87 would have been great fights.

 

I love that fight. I was a Pomona kid.

 

What a fight ! Thanks for the advice ! A must watch.
