    Should be self-explanatory. Name some of your favorite performances that ended in 2-4 rounds. Meaning it can't be a first round KO, and it can't be over 4 rounds. Some of my all time favorites to watch in this category (in no order):

    Jones-Hill
    Leonard-Green
    Ali-Williams
    Tyson-Holmes
    Corrales-Manfredy
    Jackson-Drayton
    Foster-Quarry
    Frazier-Ellis
    Rosario-Bramble
    Curry-McCrory
    Arguello-Rooney

    I would also add Liston-Williams 1 and Tyson-Bruno II.

    I would have Toney-Delgado, but it went 5. That’s one of my favorite Toney fights to watch.

    It was like the welterweight Foreman-Frazier

    Surprised I'm the only one who listed Corrales-Manfredy. I never tire of seeing Angel's punk ass get annihilated by Chico.

    Yeah but Manfredy felt spacey that night.

    It looked like an adult vs. a child. There was one part in the 3rd round where Angel lands a nice little combo on Chico (not the strongest chinned guy), Chico just nods his head and throws a couple shots that hurt Angel.

    And that first KD, such a short left hook from Chico.

    I literally just rewatched it 20 mins ago on YT. Hadn't watched in maybe 4 years.

    Corrales didn't come into the ring at anything crazy for the Manfredy fight. He weighed 140 coming into the ring, so only a 10 pound weight gain post-weigh-in. Not bad.

    It was definitely man against boy in terms of firepower.

    People actually thought Jones could go to Mexico on a Mexican Holiday and fight for a Mexican belt and have a chance of winning because he'd beaten Barrera.

    Pryor-Cervantes is another mention from me. Even though I'm a big Cervantes fan and he was well past it, I still watch this one often.

    Yall might be shocked about this one because of how much I love Duran, but I watch Hearns-Duran A LOT. Definitely one of my favorite 2-4 round demolitions.

    I see I'm the only one who mentioned Rosario-Bramble.

    The combinations Rosario unloaded on Bramble against the ropes before he knocked him out were fucking awesome.
