for me it was the night before Hatton vs Mayweather that for me was going to be a war! i couldnt sleep with anticipation! it had such a great build up n there was so many moments were i loved boxing for what it is but that was the first time i have ever really just couldnt wait for two fighters to finally meet!
Not a huge moment, but as a Calzaghe fan V Kessler. I was worried about this fight, Kessler looked great the opening round and he caught Calzaghe (cant remember what round) with an uppercut and I just thought "****", I genuinely, for a split second thought that could be it, then almost as if he didnt get clocked, Calzaghe went straight on the attack. I loved it.
Too many to name em all but here's a few.... Ali - Foreman Hagler - Hearns SRL - Hearns Duran - SRL and No Mas Benn - McClellan - The fight not the outcome Benn - Eubank 2 Eubank - Watson 2 - See above Calzaghe - Lacy Hamed - MAB Audley getting sparked Warren getting shot
1) In Cardiff to watch Calzaghe v Kessler 2) Watching Barera v Morales 1,2 and 3, simply incredible 3) Salvador Sanchez (watching a master at work) beating Danny "little red" Lopez, twice
Lacy vs Calzaghe was a shocker. When everybody thought Calzaghe was going to get KTFO, but he beat the **** out of Lacy. Everybodies reaction after that fight was great, too. Utter shock. There are probably better moments, but that is just of the top of my head.
Ali knockout of Cleveland Williams w/ the shuffle thrown in for good measure Busta Douglas ko of Tyson..... upset shocker and excellent combos....
WOW, so many but here goes 1. Leonard-Hagler round 12 Everytime I hear Barry Tompkins call it gives me CHILLS........Everytime Ray would get pinned on them ropes you just knew he was gonna get KO'd. "Off the ropes, Leonard fighting off the ropes" and "The crowds chanting Sugar Ray, we'll let you watch the last minute of a great evening in Las Vegas." 2. Tito-Vargas round 12 Down goes Vargas on a BIG left hook and up he gets in 2 seconds, and now it's abundantly clear Fernando Vargas MUST score a knockdown or this fight is over (Vargas is dropped) Down goes Vargas. JUST CLASSIC Lamps 3. Riddick Bowe-Holyfield round 10 --------- NUFF Said
For recent boxing that's a tough fight to beat, they were throwing bombs. Hopefully the sequel will be as good....
