Most Memorable Boxing Moment to YOU...

First boxing fight i've watched. good fight. Also remembered his fights with Manuel Medina and Cesar Soto.

 

Nice topic JD welcome to esb! Enjoyed your post on tyson.

For me, being a young heavyweight fan seeing the champ Lennox dispatched so brutal by Rahman was my most memorable fight.

 

mucho respect mexicano.

you have a nice list there.

cotto vs margarito: this was a crazy good fight. i picked cotto to win because i thought he knew what tony was all about. stay in the center of the ring and use your boxing while circling. never letting margarito do what he does best, which is come forward with pressure. did cotto do this? did he hell. in the first round he went on the back foot, and played to margo's strength's. i just knew there and then that he would bust cotto up and stop him late. and that's what happened. great fight.

pac vs marquez 2: another action packed fight from these two. even though i scored the first to marquez, i thought that pac would be better prepared for the second fight, and would end up stopping marquez late. i couldn't have been more wrong. it was another ferocious fight, going back and forth. at the 6th, 7th round mark, i thought that marquez was going to pull out a blinder and stop pac. but it was not to be. at the completion of the 12 rounds, i had it by one point to pac. no one could of argued if it went the other way as it was real close.

salido vs lopez: who saw this one coming? not me, not anyone. after all the years grafting against the best, it was good to see salido finally have his moment in the spot light. nothing would keep him down and it payed off on the night. a true warrior.

arce vs vazquez jr: even though i didn't think much of vazquez, i still thought he would have far too much for a fighter that was at the end of his career. but i was wrong again. arce stepped into the ring and bullied his opponent. apart from being knocked down by a vazquez left hook, it was all arce. i didn't think he had it in him. just goes to show what heart and will can do for a fighter.

arce vs hussein 1: one of my favorite fights. it was smoking. people were geared up for a repeat in the second fight, but hussein was wiped out.
