    I swear this fight used to be on YouTube and I’m certain I’ve seen it, but I’ve looked for it lately and just can’t seem to find it.

    Another good one is Cuevas v Harold Weston. Weston was as tough as they come.

    @roughdiamond put me on to John Duddy v Yori Boy Campas. A very hard fight with a great final round.

    the Oscar Negrete vs Joshua Franco Trilogy is up there with the best of them .... YES ,, it is a exciting as Marquez Vazquez , Gatti Ward.. you name it .. and I'm not BSing you .. You need to see these 2 fight
    Now obviously it isnt the "big names" but damn for recent modern fights ,, it doesn't get any better imo

    Just watched John Montes v Freddie Pendleton on YouTube - a few rounds (6, 7 and 8) missing but definitely worth a watch.

    Balbi vs Dorin I is an all time great lightweight fight rarely mentioned.
