Live ..Anderson vs Mutley

TV .....Moore vs Macklin

Eubank v Benn 1 is still very special to me, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Live - I'd have to say Robinson v Hamed. Went there as a teenager supporting Steve but was electrifying performance by Naz, left me speechless.

Was about to make that same comment myself - BELTER!

I dont think either Deroux or Murphy were ever in bad fights were they??

I am sure I should have an old VHS of that floating around somewhere at home. Would love to find it again!

Michael Brodie v Neil Swain was a hell of a fight with a great ending too.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 16 May 2007, 12:31

Michael Ayers v Wayne Rigby 1, hands down the best fight in a British ring for me.

Walker v Fearon was pretty good too.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 16 May 2007, 12:54

Eubank vs Benn 2 for atmosphere and hype.

For the contest it has to be Benn vs McClellan.

Fookin' cracker that one, I really enjoyed writing a fight report for that one..tried to find it, but looks like maxboxing don't have it on their site any more...

Brodie-Chi I and Mutley-Anderson are the best high-profile fights i've seen live.

However, i have seen a couple of fights on dinner shows that rank higher than those two.

Simon Sherrington-Manoo Salari in 2005 (six-round draw) in Brum was amazing. As way Joe McCluskey-Ali Wyatt (Wyatt, TKO5) in Brum in January. I've never seen two better fights, in terms of toe-to-toe, blood-and-guts fighting, in my life.

I have just got that on DVD, will take a look at it tonight, probably wouldn't have bothered with it if I had not read this thread because I didn't have a clue about how good the fight obviously is

Old bones Ian · Post by **Old bones Ian** » 16 May 2007, 16:01

couple more more.

Wenton v Lloyd ,
Richie was supposed to be finished, but he won in Lloyds backyard.

Ashley v Piper,
Both boxers put it all on the line in this one, they could hardly stand at the end.

Benn v Mclellend was def the best I have seen, and i've seen a lot!
If the tradegy had not happened I am sure it would be shown time and time again

Have you ever seen his fight with the great Salvador Sanchez? What a battle. Pat proved himself to be a true warrior that night.

If the fight had been a 12-rounder then Pat would have got the nod. As it was, it was a split decision.

However, Pat has told me he didn’t think it was his best performance; he thinks the European title defence against Sepp Iten (a twelfth-round stoppage) was his best.
