Reccomend A Obscure Gem...

[Russell]

To your fellow classic posters. :good Share your accumulated boxing knowledge and all that fun shit.

I'll begin.

Aaron David vs Jorge Luis Maysonet.

Back and forth slugfest with both fighters hitting the deck. Maysonet shows his 100% KO rate isn't a fluke, dropping the iron chinned Davis when the likes of Breland couldn't do the same. Very good fight that I'm sure most here haven't seen.

What've you got?

[Russell]

Ah, another that comes to mind.

Up and coming "Dangerous" Don Lee vs Tony Sibson.

If I'm remembering correctly there was almost a half foot difference between the two. None the less, great seesaw slugfest between two fighters with huge power.

[natonic]

I like Harry Arroyo vs Terrence Alli. It kind of reminds me of a poor man's Monzon vs Valdez.

[stonerose]

Jamie Moore v Matthew Macklin

Brutal war from 2007 that very nearly ended in tragedy . Not the two best boxers ever but they were both immense that night.

[My dinner with Conteh]

Sibbo vs Don Lee is a fine choice. A few fights that many may not have seen that I think are *******s...

Conteh- Chris Finnegan I
Minter- Kevin Finnegan II
Monzon-Bouttier I
Carl Thompson-Sebastiaan Rothmann
Nigel Benn-Anthony Logan

[My dinner with Conteh]

Another one that is so good it deserves its own post:

Maurice Hope vs Carlos Herrera- a 'little-seen' world title tilt gem.

Nigel Benn-Anthony Logan

Ever see Been vs Gent? :lol::scaredas:

Yeah, I watched that in a bar in Corfu I recall. Gent looked like a 64 year old non-league football manager.

Great, great contest. Horrific punishment dished out (and taken).

Hearns v Andries


A bit too one-sided that one.

Yeah, true. But the fight reminded me of George Kennedy beating up Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke.

Benn Logan was fucking unreal. still watch that from time to time if i'm feeling aggressive.Bizarre and brutal knockout too.
Benn Watson is more of the same but slightly slower and more prolongued. It seemed at times Benn was allowing Watson to beat the fuck out of him, let him think it was over then BANG !!, come back with a couple of bombs.
That was until watson knocked him out with a jab. Great great fight

[Russell]

Yeah, he certainly played the part. He was fucking balding and everything. :rofl

Thompson Haye was a great fight, all ebbs and flows.

[My dinner with Conteh]

Another pretty good 'un (and bigging up an adopted local lad) was Stracey vs Hedgemon Lewis. Johnny is non-stop throughout and Lewis just can't keep him off, he's relentless. Afterwards Lewis's trainer* said Stracey was the "nearest thing I've seen to Henry Armstrong". :shock:



* That trainer being some unknown who called himself Eddie Futch by the way. High cotton indeed.

Yes, some early Nigel was good stuff. David Noel was a great knockout, Michael Chilambe also- although the Chilambe KO was the victim of the disease that is known as camerus interruptus- the moment of the KO unfortunately taking place in the millisecond that the cameras switched the action. :lol:

They had all Nigel's early fights on World of Sport on saturday afternoons, all ending in about a minute. He had a good amateur career didn't he ? Certainly more televised than any of his peers who were also rising up at the time.

[Vantage_West]

there was a fight in early 2007 whcih was a 2 round affair which was incredible. Luyolo Katiya vs Mzukiseni Lengesi

2 super middlewieghts with only 8 fight between them. lengesi storsm foreward with wild haymakers and looping hooks and uppercuts while katiya who uses his jab and ritgh hand to keep him at bay. lengesi come in with a big left hook and katiya sickens him with a 1-1-2 on the chin. lengesi gets felled to the floor. he gets up with a horrificly broken nose with blood absolutely everywhere, and stand in the center of the ring. katiya comes in to clean up shop with a rigth ha......bang a overhand right onto katiya chin makes him slam face first into the floor. now he is all over h eplace legs and arms acting in non conversion. it ends the round with lengsei beatign him into the ropes.

next round and katiya is still uneasy on his feet is very slow to compensate. lengesi is landing with the overhand right on 5 occasions katiya is all over the place. he takes a step back just as lengesi starts to throw his signature punch th eoverhand right. katiya takes a mini step back and lands the best single left jab i have ever seen which sparks him out cold. slumps to the floor gum shield blood splashing all over the place as soon as that left hand landed.

[Vantage_West]

great fighter

Aaron David vs Jorge Luis Maysonet.



Aaron Davis?

As a matter of fact, I believe I did see this fight, but long ago. Can't remember too many of the details.

Anyway, my contribution is Booker T Word vs Anthony Hembrick - Lightheavyweights. Hembrick was a young prospect out of the Army, who had fought in the Sol olympics in 1988. He did this incredible dance display when his name was announced, and all his Army buds were there to cheer him on. As soon as the bell rang, Word kicked his f-ckin' ass. Floored him 3 times enroute to a first round stoppage.. Never seen a fighter lose so quickly after such an elaborate enterance.

Half of me laughed, the other half felt sorry for him.

Incidently, that fight was on the same card as Pinklon Thomas vs Mike Hunter. Sad display for Pink.

earl katsidas

great fight for interim wbo lightweight tile last year

[Duodenum]

Be sure to watch these in high quality. According to Ray Arcel, this was the greatest defensive boxer of all time, and this is perhaps his greatest performance. (What a blessing that we can all see this for ourselves now!)

Humberto Gonzalez-Saman Sorjaturong. What a fight! Back and forth 'till sorjaturong knocked out Gonzalez out of nowhere!

Carlos Gonzalez-Zack Padilla Slugfest with Padilla coming out on top.

Any of the Limon-Chacon fights-Wars all of them!

Tito Trinidad-Yuri Boy Campos is a good way to burn a half n hour.

Bruce Curry and Monroe Brooks...RB set me up with this fight.
It was a war.

Harris-Jefferson.

[rekcutnevets]

Glenwood Brown vs. Larry Barnes was quite entertaining, as I remember.

[WhataRock]

Eagle Kyowa (Den Junlaphan) vs Rodel Mayol...one of the fights of 2006 IMO.

Also Kyowa vs Trejo looks like a classic from the highlights on the tube...wouldnt mind seeing the full fight.

Lorenzo Parra vs Takefumi Sakata I....great battle that wasnt expected to be.

A lot of great fights come out of Japan.

Ranae Ganoy vs Fatai Onikeke...more or less Aussie fight of the year in 06. Far from a technical masterpiece but great slugfest.

Tim Bell vs Porky Lovett..top scrap

I only saw it once but Quiroga vs Anifwoshe was hectic..shame about the aftermath.
Not Obscure but always a big fan of Augustus(Burton)-Ward.

The Kid Akeem fight is on youtube. The collapse is captured as well.

Sadly, both fighters are dead today (Quiroga was murdered and Anifwoshe died three years later because of the clot in his brain).

[Jear]

Really enjoyed Gonzalez vs Carbajal I, not the most obscure but not mentioned as much as i feel it should be

[GPater11093]

surprised noone has said

codrington-bika from the contender last year

benny lynch's world title fights are all amazing and quite unkown
