Greatest Unknown Classic Fights

Christ, there was me claiming to have become more knowledgeable as I've gotten older and I totally forgot there were three fights. Absolute brain fade, apologies. Brutal, gruelling, draining wars from memory, not a huge amount of skill but a huge amount of will and heart.

 

Myung Woo Yuh v Benedicto Murillo

Like 2 Rock 'em - Sock 'em robots going at it. You cannot but love this 15 rounder.

Just came across two overlooked Flyweight brawls that features Jose Luis Zepeda. His fight with Pichit Sitbangprachan has already been mentioned in this thread but he also has 2 other great scraps on video. This guy is just a fun, wild swinging brawler who keeps coming forward from start to finish.

Scar, wanted to let you know I did recently watch this! As with most Yuh fights, it was terrific. I lost some of my scoring notes though, making any synopsis I might give incomplete. I had it slightly tighter than you did, giving Murillo one of the early rounds you gave to Yuh. Spectacular pace and action though. Yuh is becoming a real favorite of mine.

Interestingly, this was one of two consecutive 15th round stoppages Yuh scored. Can't think of another fighter that ever did that.

 

Sal, you bring up a good question. I don't think I've ever heard that done before either.

 

Thanks for mentioning this underrated fight, had to revisit it. That was an amazing scrap. Myung Woo Yuh is probably one of the most entertaining lower weight fighter I’ve seen alongside his countryman Jung Koo Chang. Still a shame that those two didn’t meet in the ring. What an all out war that would have been.

 

Speaking of Jung Koo Chang. Some of his best fights that often get overlooked.

Thanks, had a lot of fun with it. Reminded me of Wardley vs Clarke.

I'll mention two great welterweight fight from 2010, which I rewatched recently, trying to make up my mind which was the best Welterweight fight of that year:
2010-04-16 Denton Vassell vs Lee Purdy
2010-11-27 Gumersindo Lucas Carrasco vs Juan Manuel Bonanni

Both can be found on YT.
