Do you think so? I just rewatched and rescored this...decent fight but round 15 does not stand out as great to me, even within the fight itself
Holmes vs Norton round 15 Foreman vs lyle round 4 Maidana vs ortiz round 1 (both guys down from the start) Hearns vs hagler any round Ali vs frazier 3 nearly any round Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 round 3 (1st time Marquez dropped pacquiao in 4 fights very exciting) Joshua vs klitschko round 11 (joshua proved he had heart and went through the rights of passage) Wilder vs fury round 12 (we all thought fury had things under control)
We did this one a couple of years ago. Trying to remember all my picks. Round 1 - Hagler v Hearns (with a shout out to Frazier v Quarry I and Patterson v Johannson III) Round 2 - Terry Norris v Troy Waters Round 3 - Gomez v Pintor Round 4 - Foreman v Lyle Round 5 - Caveman Lee v Johnny LoCicero Round 6 - Marco Antonio Barrera v Kennedy McKinney Round 7 - Dave 'Boy' Green v Andy 'The Hawk' Price Round 8 - Saad Muhammad v Lopez II Round 9 - Eder Jofre v Jose Medel I Round 10 - Castillo v Corrales I Round 11 - Robinson v LaMotta VI Round 12 - Chavez v Taylor I Round 13 - Louis v Conn I Round 14 - I don't really have one that stands out. I think I picked Taylor v Anaya when we did this before. Would have loved to seen film on Greb v Walker's 14th - heard it was something else - but open to ideas. Round 15 - Homes v Norton
OK, not a pro fight but...remember Norman Goins (LW)? Growing up in Indy, I watched Marvin, Goins, and Nesmith after they turned pro. IMO Goins was the one (not Marvin) that had the tools to be a top-flight pro but...he seemed to resort to a 'right hand heavy' attack which, with proper support, could have been more refined. Golden Gloves, Tyndal Amory, downtown Indy, early 70's. Goins was THE LW monster. The only fighter that belonged in the ring with him was a white farm boy Ken Snider. Norman and him formed a friendship including Goins going out to Snider's farm prior to the GG's final to spar together. It was a no-brainer that they would be fighting for the Indiana GG LW title. They warred for 2 years. The second year? We were there close to the ring for the title scrap. Their 1st round was a frigging WAR!!! Imagine Pryor vs. Pryor x10!!...or Hagler-Hearns rd. 1 x10!! At the end of the 1st round the entire crowd jumped up and applauded and screamed for 60 seconds. Norman copped the UD in both years but Ken locked horns and slugged throughout. IMO their round one in year two of their quinella is, quite simply, THE greatest single round in boxing history!!! Just wish all my buds on board here at ESB could have been with me to see this. Sidebar: We always sat upstairs (Great view) with the 'brothers' who respected Snider as we tossed brewskies down and were self-medicated to boot! Wish you'de been there good buds! My $0.02
