Most Brual Fight You've Ever Seen?

Chacon vs Limon 4!

Surely that one has to be right up there with the very, very best of them?

 

One from long ago. Abe Attell Vs Johnny Kilbane.

A real battle of attrition.

 

Benn-McClellan...................easily

 

Good call, especially taking the thread title in a literal sense: Perhaps not as quite as action-packed as some of the others, but in terms of damage inflicted right up there.

An exciting fight, but I don't know about the brutality aspect of it. Bobby had enough left to drop Bazooka in the final round, and Limon had enough to get back up. To me, extreme brutality means that one or both might be utterly spent, as happened in Manila.

Cuevas-Espada II cemented Pipino's reputation for durability and stamina. At the end, Espada was in his corner, jaw grotesquely swollen from having been fractured, both legs elevated on top of his chief second's shoulders, and he was wiped out. During that match, he absorbed a frightful beating, and responded with a furious counter attack, driving Pipino to the ropes and covering up in a way I wouldn't see again until Hearns. Cuevas-Espada II needs to be on youtube. A phenomenal and brutal war.

 

Fullmer-Paret and Dempsey-Willard

 

Roberto Duran-Iran Barkley.

 

Sithchatchawal/Monshipour was pretty brutal, if largely for the massive physical exertion of constant trading rather than just the odd exceptionally damaging blow.

 

I was thinking that

 

Watson-Eubank 2
Benn-McClellan
Whitaker-Hurtado
Tua-Pick a Victim of your choice

 

Most brutal one sided beatings I've seen are

Riddick Bowe vs Pierre Coetzer
Donovan Ruddock vs Greg Page
Michael Carbajal vs Domingo Sosa
Michael Spinks vs Willie Taylor
Julio Cesar Chavez vs Terrance Ali

Two way brutal fights....

Saad Muhammad vs Yaqui Lopez 1/II
Saad Muhammad vs Marvin Johnson 1/II

 

Might as well throw Saad/Kates into the mix. And Galindez/Kates I while we're at it.
