Name your favorite sequences of intelligent boxing

Floyd luring hatton into the corner repeatedly and hatton walking forward in a straight line and taking the bait repeatedly until he went down

felt bad for hatton. a fighter I respect a lot for his career path once he left war+en

 

Marquez' finish of Diaz sticks out to me. Cant remember the exact sequence, but it was sublime

 

Donald Curry slipping Milton McCrory's jab to knock him nearly spark out with a lovely left hook counter.

 

Tim Witherspoon throwing 1-2 bombs to Lillen Eklunds body, before finally throwing a looping overhand right after the jab, to deck Lillen.

Tim Witherspoon was a bad man in his prime.

 

Jersey Joe Walcott ducking/slipping Ezzard Charles jab to his left, and throwing a left uppercut to put Ezzard out cold.

 

Carmen Basilio refusing to take a knee against DeMarco, knowing the fight would've been waved off immediately :smoke

 

Lebedev's cutman using a bag of ice on a hematoma

 

Nunn vs Kalambay,

parrying Kalambays left jab with his right jab,
then stepping to the side, pull counter left behind
Kalambays jab, game over.

 

Bhop vs Wright as poster above noted parrying his foe's jab. Once Hop nullified Winky's jab, he had no plan B.

Quintana vs Williams I- entire fight- he got inside the eye of the storm where it's quiet. PW needs that extension to which Carlos defused by staying inside and underneath- getting small.

Bhop vs Pavlik. Hop nullified his reach using angles, rarely moved more than 2/3 steps -so he wasn't hard to track down. But when a guy can determine distance & can time his counters, it set up certain sequences like in the 6th round where Bhop unleashed several combinations & came out clean each time. He did it again in the 12th and even had some fun doing the bolo punch. These were technical sequences not taught in 101 class, rather advanced.

Ann Wolfe KO Vonda Ward. While Ann is NOT a good boxer, her KO was the result of a sequence she said her & Pops worked on. They knew every fighter that had success hitting the 17-0 Ward did so with either a looping shot or a haymaker, meaning they claimed it was close to impossible to think they could throw str8 shots...and not expect them to land on her neck or collarbone so, they practiced overshooting the target.
Sequence right before she lands, Ann caught her on the shoulder -when she was trying to aim for the chin. So she said she made another adjustment...since I aimed for the chin & got the shoulder...I'm gonna aim for her forehead...and that was the next shot where she hit her square on the chin.
Same shot she threw twice. 1st time shoulder, same shot, same stance, looped it even higher...and BINGO. For an uneducated person who admits she was never a great boxer, that sequence was so grand...that Laila Ali who was supposed to fight Ward...after her tuneup with Ann Wolfe...decided rather than face the dumb mean ghetto girl...Ali retired & went dancing with the stars.

 

Pac going to the ropes and inviting Cotto in, tapping his gloves, and taking everything that Cotto gave him. Then Pac turned the table and dropped Cotto. Hard.

 

I actually watched a bit of that last week. When he invited him in, got caught flush, took it and then shook Cotto, I was blown away. Watching that again renewed my appreciation for Pac. To see Cotto hurt and forced to back peddle... My bad, bicycling all over the ring.

I think it is my personal favorite fight of Pac. I didn't think he could hurt the bigger guy, boy was I wrong.
