    Zepeda--Baranchyk (technically is was a "silver" belt and Zepeda was basically handed the "real" belt for a stay busy fight with an old Hank Lundy a few months later)

    Dempsey briefly touches down before being bundled out of the ring.
    But each to their own.

    Garza/Meza was a fun bout


    A little longer but full of excitement and controversy, as Jel mentioned, was Liles/LittlesII

    Not saying it’s terrible. It’s something for its day but still very one-sided. It got famous because it become part of Dempsey’s legend — ‘got knocked clean out of the ring but pulled himself back in to knock his man out.’

    As I said, it's your choice,world champion gets briefly dropped,lambastes his challenger who then turn on his tormentor and puts him out of the ring .Thats a deal of excitement in a 2 rds fight.imo

    Dempsey and Firpo as someone mentioned. One of the best short ones in early heavyweight fights for sure.
