Greatest Round 6 of all time (please vote)

I must say u have some unusual picks (not bad, just not well-known)

 

Rd 6. Either Zale-Graziano 1 or Zale-Graziano 2. Easily.

 

I would say the same.

 

I mean, I get that Zale-Graziano 1 and 2 would be in contention if the film was available so that's probably why nobody has nominated them.

Not sure how many times @Saintpat has to explain the basic rules of this thread but everyone can nominate a round until the previous round's voting has closed and the next round thread is created.

The choices here are all based on people's nominations so everyone is free to nominate - it's just that only a few of us have been taking the time to do it. Rounds 7-15 are still wide open for nominations.

So there's no point grumbling or questioning the selections when you don't see a round you would have liked to nominate... because you didn't bother to nominate it.

Absolutely Pandemonium, two KDs and 3 minutes of vicious action. Personally, I thought it was too one-sided but still an amazing round. Probably not my first choice (although it could be) despite being the round I nominated.

Transcripts have been printed about this fight. It's a classic. I like this round, one of the best here, but not as much drama as the better imo.

These man went at it like Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots! One-sided; sure, but both men were throwing plenty of leather, and just like Barrera-McKinney, this is a classic. Not as much drama as my #1 though, still brilliant.

Didn't even know these two fought (although it's Mike, not Jerry ). Fun infighting at a high pace, not much drama, not too high an intensity level, but a damn good round.

Awesome round. Steady action at the start, then after about a minute and a half, Berto lands a perfect counter. Ortiz down, taking a Berto barrage and eventually fights back hard, scoring his own KD. Ortiz jumps on him with a few seconds left.

Iconic round, but probably my least favourite one here. Hearns boxing, Leonard stalking. BOOM! Hearns hurt, after that it's more or less one-way traffic.

_______________________
Despite there being some amazing rounds here, this one pales in comparison to the set we had in the 5th. My rankings of these are (probably):

• #6. Leonard-Hearns I
• #5. Barrera-McKinney
• #4. Quarry-Rossman III
• #3. Hagler-Mugabi*
• #2. Marciano-Moore
• #1. Ortiz-Berto

*I'd probably slip Bradley-Provodnikov in around here too.

I think my favourite part of these threads (aside from, y'know, seeing new rounds....) is that I really feel like I can find the criteria for my ideal of a 'perfect' round. Oh, and sorry if I seem a bit down on all of these. I'm just in a pessimistic mood, I guess.

 

I knew they fought, but I'd never seen them or assumed they'd be good fights.

I don't think there's a real wrong answer here, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Akira vs Pornaswan does in the next round. I think it should win, but I doubt it will.

 

I might know you didn't vote for Berto-Ortiz because I might know who put in the one vote so far.

 

For all his flaws overall, during that fight with Berto, Victor Ortiz on fire. One of the great examples of 'flow state' or being 'in the zone'

 

Oh shoot, my bad. I automatically assumed those were up there. Where's my coffee?

 

I always watch the bouts, then vote, then add in my two cents before reading what everyone has said. Maybe its my way of not being influenced. So this is how I saw it. Firstly, every single bout had its attributes and showed itself to be a great round, but IMO, only two of them displayed 3 solid minutes of action and that was Barrera-McKinney and Hagler-Mugabi. And in the end, I voted Hagler-Mugabi by a hair. Just great back and forth action. I will also say I loved the clean, crisp punching of Rossman-Quarry and the drama of Berto-Ortiz. There was also drama in Marciano-Moore and Leonard-Hearns, but nothing like Hagler-Mugabi.

 

I think we're on the same page on these ones, Scar.
