    Didnt know Light-Flyweight fights would count. If so Chang vs Zapata I would be my numero uno.

    Lopez vs Espadas is a very good shout, perhaps Espadas vs Willie Jensen is another option, what you thinking?

    At SFlyW Lacier vs Roman II is definitly the best for me.

    I wish there was film on the first Benny Lynch-Peter Kane fight. I always heard it was a brilliant fight. Of the fights I've seen, at the top at 112 is the Halimi Gutierrez-Erbito Sallavarria non-title 10 rounder. Tremendous fight fought at break-neck speed.

    The most skilllful display against another top fighter for me at flyweight was McGowan's domination over Chartchai Chionoi in their first fight. If not for cuts he looked like he was on his way to a shutout or a stoppage.

    Lopez-Alavarez I
    Hilario Zapata-Joey Olivo
    Fidel Bassa-Hilario Zapata
    Even though it was a slugfest, I like the skill shown by Orlando Amores vs Masao Ohba.

    Accavalo vs Torres is a brilliant choice. Real intense fight aint it?

    It is indeed.I hope the full fight is out there somewhere.

    Accavallo was a great "more than the sum of the parts" fighter.

    I like Accavalo seems a nice southpaw technician, applies pressure well. Just generally a very complete pressure fighter. I've only seen about 2 or 3 highlight films of him, but he is impressive.
