Thompson v Rothmann! Unbelievable stuff, if you put it in a film script, people would say it was hokey.

It wasn't that competitive but I remember the atmosphere and pop when Clinton Woods won his World title aganst that American (Hoye?) was huge.

Alan Bosworth v Gavin Down was also a great little scrap. I seem to remember Bosworth being the underdog and stopping Down in the 5th. Was shown on BBC1’s Grandstand.

I've not watched it back, but I remember Alex Arthur v Stephen Foster Jnr being a cracker in late 2007.

How about David Walker v Spencer Fearon? Few more dramatic fights than that.

Trav dickinson v matty clarkson. Maybe not a classic but utterly brutal, could hear dickinsons pain every body shot, how he kept going was unreal.
