Neil Sinclair vs Denis Berry back in 1996 was the best undercard fight Eurosport have ever shown live, I'd to look it up to find out that Corbett, Rock and Magee all fought on the same show; cannot believe that was 15 years ago. Berry beat Sinclair on points in an upset win over six rounds, they went at it like it was personal. Magic stuff

ike ieaubuchi vs david tua
alex arthur vs michael gomez
jamie moore vs matthew macklin
michael brodie vs injun chi 1st fight
cello renda vs paul samuels 1st fight
great choices. only one i disagree with - personally, i don't think oliver-mullings was a classic. i felt oliver was in control and outgunning his game and classy opponent.
i would have added neary v micky ward, but it was featured on the movie The Fighter so it'll be too well known.
