Best First Rounds In Boxing History

[keithmoonhangover]

We've probably done it before, but hey.....

For me it's Dempsey-Firpo. Nine knockdowns, two to seven. Drama, excitement, legendary paintings. What's not to like?

Hagler-Hearns is good, but this is better. Any more?

[Woller]

Yes it has been done a million times, but okay
Nigel Benn v Gerald Mcclellan
Archie Moore v Yvon Durelle 1
And all the others.

[Caractacus]

the best first rounds, where one or the other was not knocked out ?

[Ambling Alp II]

Chacon-Boza-Edwards II wasn't the best but was pretty good. Very exciting fight as well.
