Never seen any you mention here so I think it's time to do some file searching.
Well i've seen 4 of them on his list, Lee Roy Murphy fight is an all out brawl. With a Rocky 2 like ending.

I don't see what the fuss is about Roy Williams vs Earnie Shavers, i found that to be pretty mediocre until the last round.

Micky Ward vs Reggie Green a really good fight, but so are all of Micky Wards fights. He had some underrated fights with Alfonso Sanchez, Shea Neary, Antonio Diaz.

Leland Hardy vs Ike Padilla is a great little slugfest, where they trade knockdowns. Short but very sweet, have no idea about the last fight though never seen it.

The last two rounds of Wliiams-Shavers is more than enough to fit any bill IMO (which by the way was what this was all about-an opinion). Ward-Green (I was ringside) was incredible.
