    Man, I was just watching Terry Norris vs Maurice Blocker. Blocker was a pretty good fighter at one point, but by the time he got in the ring with Norris, he was already on the slide and had no business being in there. I almost feel guilty for watching it, but if you want to see a titleholder get absolutely destroyed, there's your bout to watch.

    Interestingly, Norris was not a big Jr. Middle and probably could have picked up a few welterweight titles if he had just lost a few more pounds.

    Gamache vs Gatti, Vitali vs Adamek, Sanders vs Wlad, Dunne vs Martinez/Poonsawat.........just call them boxing porno, because thats how one-sided they are and I do admit to watching them in a darkened room from time to time.

    Ray Robingson vs LaMotta.

    LaMotta took some serious punishing head shots.

    I hear you, and I agree with your stance, but alas I can't say the same. Both were such great fights.

    Sky commentary for that fight is great. Just one long whine from Watt.

    Benn/McClellan for sure. In fact, as good as that fight is, I consciously choose not to watch it when I have the urge. It's just depressing. And having read, War!, has made it all the more depressing, knowing details about the fighters and that night that aren't apparent during the broadcast.

    Also, Showtime's broadcast of that fight has a strange introduction in which McClellan's knock-out victories are high-lighted in a kind of a game-show, beat the clock spoof. The chuckling tone of that broadcast, along with the anticipation and enthusiasm from the announcers, makes the outcome all the more erie and sad.

    It was surreal the way McClellan fell in that corner.

    That's his only mode of expression. That man would be right in the top 5 people I'd most like to stretch out & shit on.

    The review on Amazon is not unfair - the book does jump around quite a bit in terms of its purpose and the point of it all.

    The review also mentions that some of what's in the book is inaccurate. If that's true, I'm unaware of the particulars.

    If nothing else, the book provides a good back-drop to the McClellan/Benn fight.

    You can also have my Fernando Torres books.

    Aaron Davis vs. Vinny Paz. Aaron carved him up and beat the crap out of him.

    Ha exactly. Watching Paz get bludgeoned never gets old. And just for dessert, throw in Jones-Spazienza

    Like others, Benn-McClellan was the first that came to mind. Fight is too great, and too beautifully savage to NOT rewatch, even with the ending.

    In terms of mismatches as suggested in the opening post, since Maurice Blocker was mentioned - Trinidad basically finishing him off to jumpstart his (one day will be) Hall of Fame career. That knockout was as brutal as they come. Blocker looked like a club fighter; most forgot that he was actually the defending titlist in that fight.
