Just watched Ken Norton v Jerry Quarry for the first time in ages.The third round of that fight was brutal.Never gets a mention on here.What are your favourite lesser known great rounds?
Check this out. I have long been intrigued with this one. It is round 3 of Paolo Rosi v Len Matthews. It is the only round out there. I don't know if the rest of the fight went this way, but I would love to see it in its entirety to find out. This content is protected
Wow what a round! Great action, Rosi nailed Len with some vicious body shots. I did some reading and Len's story is incredible but brutal. There isn't much about the Rosi fight but a small article saying "A savage beating by Paolo Rosi in Madison Square Garden forced Matthews’ suspension by the New York Commission which requested that Len undergo electric brainwave tests before he be allowed to box in New York again." Also in a 2 year span Len Matthews had 21 fights going (15-5-1 draw 6 KOs) including the brutal beatings to Ortiz and this slugfest with Rosi. The Ortiz beating alone was so severe I can't believe he didn't suffer permanent brain injuries.
