    The obvious one is Locche vs Fuji so I'll just get it right out of the way.

    Zapata vs Penalosa is the one I'll nominate. Freakish movement and reflexes from Zapata.

    Nunn-Tate is up there. Nunn stood directly in front of Tate, lit him up from all angles, and Tate couldn't lay a glove on him.

    In a similar performance, Pedroza vs Ford also comes to mind.
