Courageous fights.

Post by MasterG »

I'm sure we all have our favourite boxing fights that after the conclusion we say 'thats why I fornicating love boxing' with that goose pimpling moment that goes from our heart to our toes

Diago Corrales v Jose Luis Castillo is certainly one of those moments.

What is your moment?

When Sullivan Barrera broke Joe Smith Jr's jaw in the third round and Joe went on to finish the remaining 7 rounds against the hard puncher.

Carl Thompson v Rothmann, I thought was gone but he kept coming back and then that shot. Loved that fight, Rothmann was an excellent sport after and was happy for Thompson. Remember that on BBC. Used to love early noughties BBC boxing.

Possibly a weird choice but I also thought Naz was quite courageous in his fight vs Barrrera, he knew he was losing and took a beating like a man.

Potter showed a lot of balls too. He was late replacement as far as I remember so knew he wasn’t fit for a long fight but gave it everything.

Potter was a fighter to the very end. May he rest in peace.

Arthur Abraham v Edison Miranda.

His jaw was an absolute mess by the end of the fight. Many fighters would have quit, never mind squeeze out a decision.

Tyrell Biggs fighting with a broken right collarbone from the 2nd round. Crude but massive punching Jeff Simms (check out his fight with Earnie Shavers, classic) was on a run of 10 wins (8 kos) when he took on the undefeated Olympian.

Biggs boxed 8 rounds just with his left hand and dominated with his jab and fast feet. Biggs always had heart, he also showed heart in his David Bey fight and for the whole Tyson fight.

Ayers v Rigby 1, you wouldn't have held it against either had that fight ended earlier and both knew when to stop.

Jorge Castro against John David Jackson. He was maybe 1 or 2 punches away from being stopped and in huge trouble.

Here's the last round, it doesn't show you what a pig sticking he got prior to this but you can see the state of his face and his shorts.
