    From one of my all time favorite fights.

    The whole round is pretty nuts, but the moment I'm thinking of extends from about 1:00-1:45 or so where Somsak kd's Monshipour, and then initiates an utterly ridiculous sequence by throwing 30 consecutive uppercuts-half of which connect on Mayhar. What makes this sequence even more insane is that Monshipour continues to plow forward during the entire time, throwing hard hard shots of his own. At that point, fans had to know that a pretty remarkable fight was about to take place.

    When Lopez decides to go forward against Salido ans they go at it for none stop for the whole round.

    and when Morales gets knock down vs Barrera on the last round, and goes all out when the ref re starts the fight.

    there's many more

    Good list. Because of this, I am going to watch that Marquez - Vasquez III again. That was insane.

    As a side note, I would have added the last round of the Corrales-Castillo 1.

    Vasquez-Marquez III is still maybe my favourite fight in colour.

    I liked when Vitali stood up on the ropes and got a loud cheer after the Lewis fight. Lewis didn't deserve to be booed, but I think Vitali deserved that after sort of avenging himself after the Byrd fight

    I jumped out of my seat when Khan put Maidana down with a body shot in the first round. The whole fight had me on the edge of my seat or standing, but I suppose that moment stands out
