If we're doing one at once (there was a thread elsewhere in OT with recommendations in, I started to paste the chapters from the vault book).

Anyway, this is wild:

The re-match with Kazuyoshi Kanazawa. I think it's every bit as good as Gomez-Pintor.
I've been pretty open about my love for Olivares. Agree on Kanzawa II. Good posts!! :TU:

Olivares’s style reminds me a lot of Thai boxers and Muay Thai guys, the rhythm and tempo he fights at; he’s a very concise offensive machine

Decent fight I watched. Bob Foster vs Chris Finnegin. (1972)

Tough close fight up until suddenly in the thirteeth round, ,Foster hits Finn with a beautiful straight right counter that put him in position to end the fight brutally in the 14th. Worth a watch.

Marvin Johnson was always fun to watch. The 2nd fight with Saad Muhammad (Franklin) was awesome. The Galindez and Mustapha Muhammad (Gregory) fights as well.

I must have seen the Herrera Castillo fight a dozen times. Always in awe of the combined ring craft on display that night. Can’t ever be arsed to score it, close rounds and who cares anyway just watch and savour.
