I remember watching Jonny Nelson fight for WBU Heavyweight title agianst some Latvian. That was a shocker

Small v McDonagh was an abomination. Small was throwing shots so wild and uncoordinated I dont think he would have landed on my mum. He looked soooo bad and mcdonagh wasnt much better

Floyd v Baldomir was a really boring, phoned in performance from Floyd

Any fight with McPhilbin moving forward is one I'll be avoiding. Think i'll rather drink anti-freeze.

Cue Saf getting on his high horse again!

That was too obvious a wind up for anyone to saddle up a horse

I have to agree with the others Nelson v De Leon is hard to beat, the only good thing about this fight is, if I cant get to sleep I just put it on the video, watch it for a few rounds and Im asleep, it works wonders.

tony oakey vs matthew barney.

never seen nelson-de leon.

you don't know what you're missing; DeLeon v Sammy Reeson wasn't any good either and I remember listening to Nelson V Waring on the radio (think Radio Sheffield had sent someone) that was another classic (to be fair though Johnny did improve loads and gained a real confidence and was in far better fights).

Dickinson vs Mcphilbin at weekend was pretty shocking

A lot of the undercard action you see on the Easter European circuit on Allegedly is abysmal

Live, Witter v Corley just pips Harrison v Williams 1

Williams put Harrison on his arse, the most exciting thing in Witter v Corley was that round where they just posed in front of each other

For a big fight Hopkins - Calzaghe is almost unwatchable

Tyson vs Seldon

Paul McCloskey is a skilled boxer but some of his bouts are not that exciting to watch.

Anybody remember the final undercard fight ahead of Lewis/Rahman II?

Lyakovich vs Ahunanya. 12 rounds of absolute tedium. So boring it's impossible to remember exactly why it was so boring, but it was.

And to think Oliver McCall had provided fireworks in a near empty arena earlier in the night when he whacked the Octopus. If only those two fights had been switched.

Can't believe nobody mentioned smoke gainer vs marquez. Absolutely pathetic performance by gainer

May be alcohol related, but Hamed vs Soto remains the only fight I've fallen asleep watching. Haye vs the Belgian whose name I can't remember was a shocker, as was Witter vs Corley.

There was a time when I actually found Johnny Nelson to be good to watch (when he won his British & Euro titles for the second time, and up to and including the Thompson fight). Subsequent defences became much duller..

Not many will have seen this one but a few years' back I was on night shift and found Espn Friday Night Fights on Channel 5. There was an undercard bout between former decent world level operator Ross 'The Boss' Thompson and a journeyman called Sam Reese.

It was lethargic, constant holding, mauling and fouling, both were diabolical. Absolutely awful stuff.

Broadhurst vs Haskins was terrible! A lot of Eubank title defences were bad to watch, when his timing was off he was truly awful to watch, the right hand would either wing over the head or try to throw it to close and get in an ugly clinch

For a world title fight Michael Nunn vs. Marlon Starling was duller than dishwater.

Domestic fight would be Williams vs. Harrison I.

Back in the 80s Mo Hussein v Bright Spider which was a disgraceful Match Also all of Johnny Nelsons fights he was awful Bruno v Gardner

Bang on the money. I hate it when a fighter's timing is off or their style involves a lot of missing or clinching. I could never warm to Haskins or fighters of his ilk. When he was on form he could be fairly devastating but when he was off form, my God he was tough to watch.

Haskins came across as a very poor Hamed clone, awful to watch.

Chip O'Neil versus Des Gargano in 1994......
Absolute stinker
Made my eyes bleed

Bailey set a CompuBox record for the fewest punches landed (45) in a 12 round bout that went the distance.
