    Anyway, I consider Maidana-Morales to be the best fight of the past decade-&-a-half. It tends to get overshadowed by Morales' epic trilogies w/ Barrera & Pacquiao, but is every bit as thrilling & dramatic as any fight from those series IMO.

    For a high profile fight, I thought Holmes - Norton was very exciting. But by fr the most entertaining fight I saw was Cornelius Boza Edwards - vs Rafael Bazooka Limon for the Super Featherweight title, a few decades ago. Toe to toe action for a full 15 rounds. Here's the full fight, with commentary by Howard Cosell.

    Hi Buddy.
    Very good pics, regarding your first, Lucas v Sibson, I fancied Lucas to win big time, I had been to watch him spar on many occasions, at a gym come pub in Highgate, and he was something to see, mean, moody, insolent, and down right nasty, when he spared there was no quarter asked or given, if the few that attended were lucky the excellent Lottie Mwale would turn up, Lucas wasted no time in calling out Mwale to spar, they both shunned headgards, and chose smaller lighter gloves, truth be told I have seen worse title fights, these two would lock horns and go at it hammer and tong, you could hear the punches out in the car park, whilst smaller and lighter Lucas carried the spar to Lottie round after round, despite being stunned and hurt several times, Frankie would stoically walk forward, digging in hard and hurtful body punches, seemingly impervious to punishment, after 8/10 rounds of hard, hard, sparing Lucas would spit on the canvas an inch away from Lotties boots, scowl at everybody in the gym, and ask if anybody else wanted some of him, one bad dude.
    stay safe Fred, chat soon mate.
