I'm going to have a night with a few beers and a it of boxing. If you know some great, more obscure fights, that I or others are unlikely to know the result of, please post them. Preferably fights that have happened in the last 5 years. I need my boxing fix.
Not a card but a fighter. For knockouts, look up Julian Letterlough. He fought alot on ESPN. Kenny, Max, Teddy and Bob Popa was the broadcast team, which in my opinion was ESPN's best. Julian was a light heavyweight who is mostly known for his title shot at cruiserweight against Jirov. Unfortunately he passed away sometime ago. ESPN'S Friday night fights had some great fights and nice in studio boxing talk. It's great for a time capsule. I was sad when the cut the show. You should be able to find full cards on YouTube.
You want wars? Here's some you need to see. Naoto Takahashi - a career of literal wars. Known for his absolute insane reversals. Watch these two in particular. This content is protected This content is protected Hatakeyama vs Sakamoto - amazing, high skilled, super hyped war for Lightweight crown. Check those view numbers! This content is protected Joichiro Tatsuyoshi vs Singwancha - Japanese boxing icon Joe Tatsuyoshi makes a truly redemptive comeback in a classic against a young champion, in a fight he wasn't supposed to win. This content is protected Jung Koo Chang vs Tatsuo Tokashiki - ATG small boxer Chang has one of the greatest punch ups you'll ever see against a fierce challenger. This content is protected
I'd recommend watching Tristan Kalkreuth vs Twon Smith. Not a legendary war, not a battle of will, it's just a 4 round fight. I watched it live, thought it was a great fight, and Twon Smith gave up a good fight against the prospect Tristan. Definitely worth checking out, it's a very entertaining bout! (The fight itself is not available on youtube, but on this stream I have it timestamped at 1:01:49) This content is protected If Twon Smith was in better shape, he could've won. I scored it as: Round 1 - Even, could possibly give it to Kalkreuth, but I say even Round 2 - Kalkreuth Round 3 - Smith Round 3 - Kalkreuth, Smith could've won if he was more active in this round specifically. He waited too long to start throwing. 39-38 Kalkreuth, close but clear decision.
Bro this is fully perfect. I'm making a top 100 fights, and so could do with watching new fights AND I've just (like in the last 2 days) watched about 20 obscure fights.
