Mike Jennings KO’ing Jimmy Vincent in the first round seemed to make his name at the time.

I used to love watching Michael Jennings fight. Great skills. Would have loved to have seen him fight for the European.

Honeyghan beating Mittee. Both men were on the verge of world level. It seemed like a 50-50 going in. But Lloyd dominated.

Sibson's KO of Minter.

Laing beating Duran?

Quigg's KO of Martinez?

Groves beating DeGale was a big statement win for him at that stage of his career.

Absolutely. It was the perfect combination of his silky skills at their best and having nothing to lose. The sad thing is, some people don't give him any credit for it and prefer the usual Duran biased nonsense about the Hands of Stone not training or being interested.

I always think of Michael Watson's win over the American Don Lee as his breakthrough fight (of course most will say it was him beating Nigel Benn) but he made a lot of boxing fans sit up and take notice after that result.

Richie Woodhall was masterful when annexing the European title against Italy's Silvio Branco.

Great call earlier mentioning Sibbo's demolition of Minter. No one destroyed Minter than conclusively, not even the Marvelous one !

Josh Warrington's own win over Selby was something of a statement and the start of his decent run. Selby I think was a favourite in that one.

Yep, I thought Selby would handle Warrington easily...how wrong !

Josh went on a great run thereafter, but those pesky Mexican hard cases put a couple of spanners in the works :confused:
