    Here's a sleeper you may not have seen:

    Israel Vasquez v Jhonny Gonzalez (epic stuff)


    Maybe you have seen it though - its quite modern.

    Dunno if you'll find it on youtube but try and find a fight between Bruce Curry and Monroe Brooks from the 70s. Brooks was NOT a former opponent of Hagler (thanks to GazOc) and this was on the undercard of one of Hagler's fights.

    Rumour has it they were best chums (rumoured cousins) and then fell out over a girl. Then came this fight for an NABF title.

    Helluva war

    Aye, I went off the rails there.... considering Monroe Brooks was a light welter/welterweight.
