    I had the pleasure of watching a few of my fellow sperm cells battling out.

    Get a hold of any Eduardo Lausse fights. This middleweight was an all action fighter with a wrecking ball left hook. The fight against Fullmer was something else. I only have 9 of ten rounds of it. But it's a great fight.
    Check out Fighting Harada from Japan, Ragingb(_)ll sent me his fights against Kingpetch I&II, Aoki, JofreI&II, and Medel I&II.

    Marty Glickman, I think, does the commentary. Marciano is not involved. Same film, most likely, though.

    Gus Lesnevich v Freddie Mills 1 was a good scrap. Mills was massively brave.

    More people, I've noticed, are singing the praises of Fighting Harada, and rightfully so. I've always been high on him, and as a matter of fact, his two victories over the previously invincible Eder Jofre were what sparked my lifelong fascination with boxing. Those two fights were quality, high level, significant performances that established Harada as an all time great IMO.
