    Canelo vs Khan

    El Pollo Rojo was getting schooled and embarrassed by a WW before that lucky hail mary saved his red ass.

    Harrison-Sprott 2. Audley was down on all 3 cards and was having the fight taken to him in the last round.

    Very good choice. Harrison was being taken apart against Sprott and the finishing punch came out of nowhere.

    Williams - Potter another good choice.

    Glad to see Harrison Vs Sprott II get mentioned.

    DeMarco Vs Linares seems an obvious-ish choice

    Naota Takahashi Vs Noree Jockygym I - Naoto was looking complete gone at the end of a round, looked like a broken nose and saved by the bell, some how stops Noree in the following round... sadly a rematch saw Noree batter the Japanese kiddy who looked totally done.

    Koki Eto Vs Ardin Diale - Eto was down several times and looking spent then comeback to stop Diale in round 8...before being shaken unconcious by his team in celebration

    Huck versus Headvetkin. Povetkin came back big time after the CW had his way with him.

    Lamon Brewster was being battered by Wladimir Klitschko before Brewster unleashed a left hook and won the fight.
