    Hi lads, I'm writing a series of articles on the greatest rounds in boxing history, the kind you would point a newcomer in the direction of. The plan is to start at round 1 all the way to round 15. The piece is for secondsout.com and the 1st piece will be published in a couple of weeks. I'm canvassing promoters, fighters and the ESB British forum. So to start could I have your nominations for the greatest 1st round in boxing history please. Voting ends FRIDAY 18TH NOV. Thanks Danny:good

    Ray Mancini Vs Art Frias is always my pick for best opening round I've ever seen.

    EDIT:

    Although the rest of the fight is overrated, Hagler-Hearns was a great first round (or at least first half of the first round)

    Dempsey-Firpo.

    Dempsey down, Firpo down 7 times and then Dempsey knocked out of the ring to be pushed in by ringside journalists.
