    Ward actually worked well from the clinch.

    Joe Bugner vs John Ruiz. More clinches than punches thrown.

    I watched this one on TV 30 years ago and I really cannot imagine a more boring fight.

    You too! The only fight I saw that compares to it was Nelson/Warring!

    Sky Sports once showed the ending to Minter/MagdziarzIII when ref Harry Gibbs walked out in disgust at the lack of action.

    Was not fantasy, it happened, I went, it was no thriller, but not as bad as you would imagine.

    Thanks for correcting me.
    I'm not knowledgable on either fighter's career (for obvious reasons).

    Ali (1st spinx fight) vs tommy morrison (foreman fight).

    Adrian Broner (pacquiao fight) vs Mikey Garcia (Spence fight). The rematch nobody wanted.

    I actually thought Young won more rounds than Norton in the latter's third Ali fight.

    I also thought Ali lost them both; besides the Spinks fight(s) the Young fight was the worse Ali looked in the 70s imo. Ali didn't look that bad in the first Norton fight imo...definitely not.
