Fights you really like watching but you're not sure why...

Are there any fights you find yourself liking to watch over and over that most people wouldn't consider exciting or great fights?

For me, I like to watch the following fights even though I fully admit that they're not what most people consider exciting fights, nor are they action packed:

1. ODH/Trinidad
2. Quartey/Forrest
3. Hagler/Duran (don't get me wrong, good fight, but as much as I used to watch it, you'd think it was MAB/Morales I)

 

I LOVE me some Holyfield/Tyson 1.

I was going to start a thread after I watched it again last week called "Exciting Clinch-Fests". I couldn't think of another fight with that much holding that I enjoyed like I enjoy that one.

 

Hopkins-Trinidad. The fight was okay, maybe a pretty good fight (the significance and atmosphere helped), but I love watching Hopkins's performance. That was a masterful performance.

Duran-Leonard I had a lot of holding, and that was enjoyable IMO.

 

Fraud - Castillo 1,.. ESPECIALLY, the rounds after Drackulich took a point away from Fraud for excessive forearm to the throat warnings,..from there on Fraud had nuthin',..he became a sitting duck to Castillo's in-fighting :crafty: a glorious fight to watch, and yet, I don't know why.

 

Good one on Duran/Leonard. Honestly, I haven't watched the fight in over five years.

 

De La Hoya - Mayweather

 

Leonard-Camacho
Gatti-Gomez
Forrest-Mayorga I

 

I don't really watch that many fights anymore, but a fight I used to sometimes leave in the VCR and watch over and over again was DLH/Whitaker.

 

yeah. i agree. it's a good fight to watch.

 

::

this could also go in the thread entitled, "fights you enjoying watching for sadistic pleasure."

 

hey that would've been a good thread! you should've made it. then again, i too am having trouble thinking of any clinch-fests that weren't tedious and horrible to watch.

 

me too. i liked the tactical struggle in that fight.

 

I made the thread, L.

 

Judah - Stinks, both of 'em

 

I enjoy Zab Judah vs Cory Spinks II a lot! :clap: I also like Bowe/Golota II and Holyfield/Dokes. Don't know why but I thought they were fun fights.

 

I'm into older fights, here's a few:

Pintor-Zarate
Benitez-Palomino
McGirt-Brown
Boza Edwards-Limon

 

Nothing strange about liking any of those bouts. :bears:

 

Chavez - Camacho
Pernel - Haugen
Floyd - Bruseles

 

Good ones.
I always liked Bruselles' style, chin down, elbows in and on balance, hopefully he will make it big soon, the big money.

 

Bowe-Golota II and Holyfield-Dokes are classic heavyweight brawls, that's why.

I thought Judah-Stinks I was better throughout, but at least we got a knockout in the rematch.

 

I've watched Starling-Honeyghan at least 50 times...

It was Marlon's crowning moment..

 

VERY Underrated Bouts...

Good Call...

REED:clap:

 

REED is a FAN of the Somewhat LENGTHY,1 Sided BEATDOWNs (Not to Mention the Early Round KO's,but that's Another Topic)...

Roy vs Paz
Floyd vs Gatti
Manny Pac vs Ledwaba
Sanchez-Gomez
Toney-Barkley

REED Watches ALL of these Bouts @ Least a Couple Times PER Month...

Though it was More "Historic" than "Great",REED Watches Roy vs Ruiz Often...

Leonard-Hearns I Takes PATIENCE to Watch N it's Entirety,but REED watches that 1 Fairly Frequently...Ditto for Hagler-Mugabi...



REED

 

1 of Sweet Pea's TOP 5 Performances,w/Out QUESTION...

Possibly Top 2-3...


REED:clap:

 

I'm a little sadistic so I enjoy the beatdowns too.

Toney-Barkley, Mayweather-Gatti, DLH-Gatti, Toney-Holyfield, Bowe-Gonzalez, Tyson-Biggs, etc..

 

I forgot to add Leonard-Norris.

 

I'm with REED. I enjoy beatdowns. RJ-Hall, Mayweather-Gatti, Qawi-Martin, Tito-Mayorga, Nunn-Tate, Tyson-Biggs, Duran-Moore, Corrales-Manfredy those are some fights that stay in my rotation.

Also I watch Mayorga-Forrest II alot. I dunno why, its not a GREAT fight, but I always enjoy watching it. I watch Hatton-Tszyu alot too, even though its a maul-fest.

I also enjoy masterful boxing clinics. My favorites to watch are Jones-Toney, Camacho-Ramirez, Whitaker-Pineda, and Benitez-Duran.

 

Most of Tito Trinidad's fights are fun to me. He's the most entertaining fighter of the last 7-8 years. I've watched most of his fights more than several times. He was bang for your buck. Except for that piece of crap fight against Winky, that was pure junk. But the other fights against Mayorga, Vargas, Joppy, Hopkins, Reid, Thiam, etc are terrific.:clap:

 

Vic Drackulich: Neutral corner!, neutral corner!, time!, .....1 point, 1 point, 1 point, watch that elbow!...

Round 10 - Castillo BIG
Round 11 - Castillo BIG
Round 12 - Castillo BIG
