Greatest fight that ever took place on an undercard.

Fenech-Nelson I was a great fight for an undercard.

 

Too right, and Weaver - Dokes II is a very underrated Heavyweight rumble.

 

Back in the days when Don King undercards were stacked. I highly doubt we'd see a fight like Fenech-Nelson on an undercard these days. It'd be a PPV main event with a shitty card underneath it. I must say though, I thought the undercard for Mayweather-Hatton looked alright turned out **** though

 

You're probably right Pat. Holmes - Cooney had Page - Berbick, Gomez - Meza i think, Shavers - Tillis, Eddie Davis - Murray Sutherland, i mean how often are you going to see that sort of **** :yikes

Edit - Gomez - Lopez sorry

 

Gomez-Pintor was the undercard of Hearns-Benitez, and stole the show.

 

That was the first to come to mind.

Here are some others that might have not been "historic", but ones that were very good.

Kevin Kelley-Derrick Gainer I
Jorge Castro-John David Jackson I
Frankie Liles-Tim Littles II
Simon Brown-Maurice Blocker
Jorge Arce-Hussein Hussein I
Jhonny Gonzalez-Isreal Vasquez
Clifford Etienne-Lawrence Clay-Bey

 

Unbelievable fight.

 

A bit different angle: Dick Tiger met Terry Downes in a down the bill 6-Rounder in England.
Later both became world champions.

Woler

 

It's hard to believe with today's undercards, but it's a testament to the stacked prime-time mega-cards of the late 70s and early 80s that Hagler-Antuofermo I was not a main event -- it was the semi-final to Leonard-Benitez.

And if you stayed home instead of going to Vegas to see the fight live, your TV undercard also included a nice brawl from another location: Eddie Mustafa Muhammad vs. Victor Galindez.

 

Wasn't it Marvin Johnson vs. Victor Galindez?

 

Yep!

Thanks for the correction.

 

It is a tough when King was at his best, because many bouts were surely considered co- main events.

Take Revenge the rematches

You had:

Brown/NorrisII
Nelson/LeijaII
McClellan/JacksonII
Lopez/Gaurdia

And then I suppose the for the record Main event:

Chavez/RandallII

 

Gomez-Pintor. The beer and chips start flying around the tv room just thinking about it!
