Your favorite fight(s) that never get talked about!

lol no i didnt bet on a draw happening. I had £30 on In Jin Chi, though i was pretty much split 50/50 on who was gunna win. Turned out to be a great fight though, i didnt care, it made it so much more exciting with the money on it.

Maybe the best amateur fight I ever saw.

Phillyphan, for fights that don't get much discussion, I submit:

1) Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Edwin Rosario - Chavez walked through bombs that would have taken out any other lightweight

2) Terry Norris vs. Don Curry - like the above match, Norris looks great against this slightly used up Curry, but wades through some dynamite bombs to take him out in 8.

3) Marco Barrera vs. Kennedy McKinney - overshadowed by the Barrera-Morales wars was this excellent bout which would still be talked about if Marco and Erik had not gotten together.

4) Ezra Sellers vs. Carl Thompson - this one just for the fun of it. Watch these two drop each other numerous times which ended in 4 rounds.

Incidentally, I've scored the Antuofermo-Minter I fight twice 30 years apart and came up with the same score both times. Antuofermo 8-5-2. With the knockdown (which I feel was not a knockdown, but what can you do when the referee calls it official?) the final score was 145-141 Antuofermo.
