    An exciting fight where both fighters really hated each other and you just knew they would both sell their souls to the devil for the win over the other.

    Latest one I can think of at the moment is Vargas/DLH.

    ANy ideas of more recent ones?




    oh and inb4 calzaghe/hopkins that wasnt an exciting fight and there wasnt much bad blood there.

    I don't think any will top Barrera-Morales.

    Great one buddy and you're probably right on target. "Bad Blood" was probably the last great competitive grudge match.

    Barrera-Morales 3 was two years after DLH-Vargas.

    Barrera-Morales 3

    is more recent, but I cant help to think that Morales took Barrera abit lightly in that one.

    I don't know if they hated each other but Tyson/Lewis had an eventful fight buildup.

    Maybe Hamed/Barrera and Hamed/Kelly.

    Oh and Miranda vs Abraham 2.
