    Yeah, Mancini-Frias is a great shout for round 1. Juan Meza-Jaime Garza is another great round 1 that didn't qualify.

    If those guys wanted to qualify they should have finished the round! (g)

    George, did you ever see Caveman Lee v Johnny LoCicero's round 5? If the restrictions were lifted, that would have been my best round 5.

    Yeah I did. I don't think anything beats Avelar-Vasquez.

    Isn’t the knockout punch in Lee-LoCicero a bad camera angle, like ridiculously close up or something? Or am I misremembering?

    No, you're pretty accurate on that. I had to watch the 5th round again (not that it took much coaxing) and like you said, the camera zoomed in but would have still been doable but the ref obscured half the picture. All you can see is LoCicero's head jarring and then dropping like a sack of Idahos. The announcers said a left hook and the way Johnny's head jarred, one would have to agree. But you just couldn't see it.

    Holyfield-Cooper round 3 was a worthy nomination with hindsight.
