1 that springs to mind is Luis Fuentas vs Mauricio Martinez
That was an undercard fight with little to no hype but not only is it K.O of the year but it was turn around of the year .

Benn was practically out on his feet when he pulled off that brutal knockout. It was an arm punch really, since Benn's legs were gone at that point. But the motherfucker hit SO hard that even still it KO'd Logan. Amazing fight.
Re: Cult Classic Fights ??
I have to go with Kevin Kelly against Derrick Gainer, what a fight, Kelly's eye was so big it look like they would stop the fight and then Kelly had a miracle KO

Benn was very lucky that night he was on the verge of being stopped, he was hit with about 20+ punches in a row then Benn swung a left hook out of desperation if i remember right and it caught Logan right on the chin, great shot Logan also went distance with Eubank.

No prob mate CC back and yes Arthur vs Gomez what a slug fest that was, and also what a battering Arthur took from Gomez's left hooks ouch.

Did you ever seen the Kid Akeem Vs Robert Quiroga fight that CutMeMick posted awhile back? That is an awesome fight, one of the closest fights I've ever seen each round is highly contested. Unfortunately it ends in a bad way with Kid Akeem going into a coma later and eventually passing away. What a fight though.
Re: Cult Classic Fights ??
Napoles V Muniz 1975 TD Controversial
Fenech V Zaragoza 1986 All out War!
Duran V Palomino 1978 Nobody talks about this fight much
Monzon V Valdez 1 and 2 As Above
Hagler V Antuofermo 1979 Draw
All of these fights were highlights in some way or another but rarely mentioned.

Kid Gavilan vs. Gil Turner.
Re: Cult Classic Fights ??
The Forum In Ca. Was one of the premier and Historical venues for boxing.A cultish following in and of It self.
The Daniel Zarogoza Vs. Paul Banke (Rip) Trilogy was one of the best series of fights I Have ever seen.
And Ice....Who's Jeff ? ;)
Re: Cult Classic Fights ??
Manuel Gomez-Jeffrey Hill
Its hard to say its a cult classic since it was fight of the year but seems like you don't see people talking about Bobby Chacon-Rafael Limon as much as some of the other truly great fights. At least not any more.
