    From 1995 Merqui Sosa/"Prince" Charles Williams 1. This fight was stopped at the end of the seventh round by the referee because NEITHER fighter could continue!!!! I haven't heard of or seen that before or since. Absolute brutal war. It was a Saturday afternoon fight on ABC I believe. I could be wrong and it was on ESPN, but I'm pretty sure it was network tv.

    Anyone else see this fight or own it?

    Ive only read the 1st few posts so forgive me if somebody has beat me to it but what about the 4th fight between BOBBY CHACON & RAFAEL `BAZOOKA` LIMON.... It was 1982`s FOTY.

    15 rds of Rocky type action with 3 KD`s, both guys hitting the deck & 1 of those KD`s coming in the last 15-20 seconds to win that fighter the fight by 1 point. I just seen the whole fight for the 1st time 2 days ago, there are 5 min highlights on youtube but if your gonna order the fight & you dont know who won then avoid the highlights.

    Check it out if you like all out wars.

    Seem to remember Jim McDonnell's heroic defeat to Azumah Nelson being a bit of a humdinger. Haven't seen it since it was broadcast live though.

    Ironically Spadafora stood toe to toe with the shorter Dorin which was a technical mistake,anyway Dorin won that but being in Spaddy's backtard he only got a draw.Shame no rematch never took place

    I was expecting a great war too and altough I am a countryman of Dorin I wasn't pissed about him losing Arturo being my fav fighter too:yep .Dorin was too small for 140,he had no business there and he said many times after that his heart wasn't there for that fight,prolly like Forrst and Mora I
