    What are some great fights you saw that you think not a lot of other people heard about?

    To me, it has to be two:
    Kenny Keene vs. Terry Ray
    Sugar Ramos vs. Mando Ramos

    Robin Blake-Adolfo Medel was really, really good. Well worth seeking out.

    To be fair, the Ramos' fight was very well known back then. It's a great one. Over time, fights that weren't highly anticipated at the time or don't include an ATG tend to fade into the recesses of boxing lore. Thank goodness for YouTube. Quite a few people have done an RBR on this fight in the "what fights did you watch today/scorecard thread.
