Benn/McClellan (mixed feelings, but the fight itself was great) 9. Skipper Kelp/Adrian Stone 10. Livingstone Bramble/Ricky Meyers
10) Riddick Bowe-Andrew Golota II 9) Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield I 8) Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper 7) Arturo Gatti-Wilson Rodriguez 6) Robert Quiroga-Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 5) Marco Antonio Barrera-Kennedy McKinney 4) Nigel Benn-Gerald McCellan 3) Julio Cesar Chavez-Meldrick Taylor I 2) Ivan Robinson-Arturo Gatti I 1) Michael Carbajal-Humberto Gonzalez I
I forgot about Gatti/Robinson and Rodriquez and Barrera/McKinney. Good calls. Kelly/Hamed is another one.
Kind of one-sided barring the 3rd round. Very good fight, but not as good as Moorer-Cooper 6 months later.

I really loved Lewis vs Briggs. It became a vicious beatdown, but was great while it lasted. Briggs almost had Lennox early as well, amnd showed a lot of heart. A lot.
