The best losing performance from a British fighter in a major fight?

McAuley v Bassa I + II

 

Amen to that. Especially the first one.

 

Conteh v Saad Muhammed I

 

To this day, I refuse to accept that this was a loss. Brodie got jobbed so hard it wasn't even funny!

 

Could be a good one but was a bit before my time, not seen it to be honest.

Cracking fight and puts to rest the lie about Grahams questionable chin

 

Good call. I've got it on dvd and there is no commentary due to a strike at ITV or something? Bizarre. Good fight, pretty close and Graham gave it his all against a very good champion in McCallum.

 

Cowdell-Sanchez.

 

I agree, I can't see where there was anything dodgy about Graham's chin, especially in his prime. That shot from Jackson would have floored an elephant!

 

Tommy Farr - Joe Louis - gave a prime Louis one of his toughest fights

Randy Turpin - SRR II - Turpin showed his earlier victory was no flash in the pan and was only KO'd due to a cut.

 

Reid vs Ottke

 

Thought Conteh was very unlucky not to get the nod.

 

Yeah, but it was Robinson who had the terrible cut.:deal

Yeah, it was a terrible decision.

I have to admit I smiled in satisfaction later when I read that Larios had drilled Jorrin in the first round to take the belt.

 

Seconded. Fighting arguably the greatest featherweight of all time in his own backyard and ahead after 14 rounds.
