    Oh sweet, as a Golota fan - colour me impressed.

    Any others you think I should watch immediately? Right now I'm having a Sahaprom day (one of my favourites, weird that mentioned him before actually) but other than that I'm pretty much free. Lockdown does wonders for free time.

    I haven't no, although Roughdiamond recommended it to me on discord.

    I loved Dorsey vs Paez and Kelley, he threw so much. So I'll watch that either tomorrow morning or later tonight.

    His fight with John Collins was pretty good, two undefeated middles from Chicago. I remember watching it on tv.

    Colin Jones was a pretty good watch if he hasn't been mentioned already.

    You def should watch those two they are short but explosive fights the renda vs Samuels fight theres something rare in it i wont sayvit cause i dont want to spoil it.

    As for Rabanales at the moment i dont remember more fights othher than the McCullough one although ive watched like ten of his fights but it was a long time ago. His style reminds me of Limon.

    Jeff Harding, held the wbc light-heavyweight title late 80's early 90's. Obviously at one point was well know in Australia but seem's pretty much forgotten now in Oz, outside of hard core fans who lived through those days. The dudes head was made of concrete, he had no defense, didn't carry huge power, would take multiple shots to the head to land his own. He had one of the best chin's I have ever seen. He was stopped against an older Andries but seriously he got hit so many ****ing times by world class fighters and would not stop!
    I will add Barry Michael, known in Australia but not really elsewhere.

    He's more of a 'what could have been' type, right? Wasn't he in jail for years? Great fight v Cley Bey.
