Neither of them were exactly barnburners, but I thought the 2nd Winky Wright vs Shane Mosley fight was better than the 1st.

I watched both Carl Thompson/Chris Eubank fights this week,both crackers but I probably preferred the rematch

That's amazing, considering that the two first fights were not filmed. But I guess in your world everything is possible.

You can find a (very bad) copy of the first fight in NY - so bad it almost impossible to watch - but like you suggest, certainly not shown in the theaters; it looks to be private.

Kalans mate took it on his camera phone

See I knew all that 'time-travelers with cell phones,' stuff was true, we just needed proof.

LOL the same time traveller that was at the Tyson fight. Kalan's a nutjob.

Fighting Harada vs Eder Jofre II

The Ring Magazine named the second fight between the great Carmen Basilio and Tony DeMarco as the best fight of 1955, even though fight #1 was a great match.

The 1st of Carmen Basilio's 5 Fight of the Year awards. All in consecutive years. I don't think that's ever happened with any other fighter. Participating in the Fight of the Year for 5 years straight.

He won the first 3 and lost the last 2.

Just by action-packed fights, the great Carmen Basilio was the most exciting boxer of the 1950s decade.

Ali vs Norton II fight was the best of the trilogy.

I always thought all 3 were pretty poor,infact there's not many post exile Ali fights that I'm a big fan of

eubank v Watson 2 was better than the 1st
