Top 10 Flyweight Fights?

Strictly at 112, not 115 or 108.

 

This would be my pick for #1:

 

Marcellus Johnson vs Raton Jimenez certainly belongs

 

Definitely up there. It's a great fight. Not quite as great as this gem of a three founder.

 

salazar fight is good too while it lasts but he wasnt as high a level opponent as jimenez

 

Oba vs Chinoi and McCauley-Bassa 1 were the first two that came to mind

 

Not sure, but here's a quick go.

#10. Oguma-Park I
#09. Magri-Mercedes
#08. Bernal-Chitalada II
#07. Gonzalez-Espadas
#06. Oba-Gonzalez
#05. Oba-Chionoi
#04. Chang-Kittikasem
#03. McAuley-Bassa I
#02. Chionoi-Torres I
#01. Kim-Mathebula

 

Forgot about Magri vs Mercedes

 

Danny Romero vs Miguel Martinez was a pretty good flyweight scrap. Its on my channel

 

A bit one sided, but Arbachakov-Kittikasem 1 was an action fight.

 

I've seen most of these, I think, but I haven't seen your number 1, so if it's better than Chionoi-Torres 1 and McCauley-Bassa 1, it must be some fight as those were wonderful.

 

Jesus Rojas vs Fidel Bassa was a pretty good flyweight fight.

 

There's been hundreds of pretty good flyweight fights. Take Estrada and Oguma, can anyone name a boring fight from them? There's tons of guys like that, and when they fight eachother you get something special.

Laciar vs Montero is a great fight.

 

Of the traditional 8 weight classes, Flyweight is the one I've spent the least time watching so there's some good recommendations here. Just watched Johnson v Salazar and that was awesome!

 

There is loads of great fights, after work I'll make a big list of some to watch.

 

Johnson vs. Jiminez was great too. Watched it the other day.

 

Too Sharp's fights with Enrique Orozco, and Rafael Marquez are great too.

 

I've seen the first Marquez fight but not the rematch or the Orozco fight.

 

I haven't actually seen the rematch, I just worded the post poorly. The Orozco fight is a very entertaining fight and performance, but Too Sharp's magnificent best came during his 112 title reign.

 

Most of the outstanding candidates have been named already, but I may as well add a couple of suggestions which haven't (apologies if I've missed them) come up yet.

McGowan-Burruni II. Nice styles match up with McGowan, for once, overcoming his Achilles Heel to survive being badly cut and taking a hard-fought decision.

Kingpetch-Harada II. Excellent fight, just a shame about the dubious verdict at the end of it.

Zapata-Laciar.

Bassa-Zapata II.

Cedeno-Magri, decent little scrap while it lasted though not quite a classic or must-see.

Donaire-Darchinyan I...If only for the knockout and the fact that it was the 'arrival' of one of my favourites in Donaire.
