Greatest rounds in history

[elgoadie]

What are your favourite rounds in boxing history?

For me: Holyfield - Bowe 1, Round 10
Hearns - Hagler Round 1

[TBooze]

Hagler/Hearns (round one) walks it IMO.

But a few others, perhaps less thought about, to add to the debate:

Liles/LittleII (round 3)

Benn/Barkley

Garza/Meza

[Brian Zelley]

Difficult trying to select a best round in history, but one of historical
importance was the 1960 round 5 of the Ingemar Johannsson vs Floyd Patterson fight when Floyd scored a devastating knockout to
regain the title.

[elgoadie]

Sorry, I meant to say the best rounds for pure adrenalin-fueled action. Where both men just go at it like there's no tomorrow.

Norton-Holmes round 15.
One of the great heavyweight rounds.

Gomez-Pintor round 12.

Barrera-Morales I round 5.

and the first round of McCallum-Jackson is awesome.

More recently, round 3 of Vasquez-Marquez II and round 4 of their 3rd fight were both great.

and of course Gatti-Ward round 9 and Corralles-Castillo round 10.

[Bill Butcher]

Hagler/Hearns rd 1

Gatti/Ward I rd 9

Morales/Barrera I rd 5


There`s too many so I`ll leave it at those 3 for now.

...........Saad/Lopez II, round eight.


Also of note is round nine of the first Jofre-Medel fight. That was sensational. Definitely check that fight out if you can find it. Round five of that bout was amazing too.

[Manassa]

Forget Hagler-Hearns, try Hagler-Mugabi, round six.

[Bill Butcher]

Forget Hagler-Hearns, try Hagler-Mugabi, round six.

Good call, that was a great rd.... but still not as good as MMH/Hearns rd 1.

:thumbsup

Dempsey-Firpo round 1.

[elgoadie]

Dempsey-Firpo round 1.
I've only seen this round in really bad quality (obviously - its from the early 20's). Does anyone know of any good quality versions?

[Robbi]

Norris-Waters, round 2.
