Your least favorite fight?
Mine is Raheem vs. Freitas. "Holy slumber Batman"
What do you guys think?
Re: Your least favorite fight?
Briggs - Lyakhovich
Corrales - Clottey: Just because as a big Chico fan I found it hard to watch, especially in retrospect.
Re: Your least favorite fight?
Recently...any fight containing anyone from the contender.

I remember the Burger King tagged Poop-po aka the "mouthpiece spitter" ;D in mid rounds and holding on for dear life. But Frietas came back in late rounds though.

Yes Tye fields is horrible. Briggs Lyakovich was incredly awful until the KO, but since there was a decent KO, Byrd vs Williamson was a much more awful affair. Equally awful for 11 rounds though. Thankfully didn't see Freitas Raheem, but I did see what I think was Freitas (hopefully) last fight against Cristobal Cruz and it was a sleeper. I think at an elite level, certainly one of the worst fights recently was Taylor vs Spinks.. It was just a nothing fight, Taylor was way too big and strong to be bothered by Spinks but for some reason wouldn't try and make it a physical fight, then Spinks who was only concerned with not getting hit by using the ring and throwing an occasional jab. Anything he landed was almost just for show, and Taylor barely did anything the entire fight. Really disliked that one.

Byrd-Williamson. Easily. Wlad-Sultan was also pretty bad

Danny williams v Audley Harrison - the 1st fight
Both men slagged each other off for years claiming either one wasnt fit to be in the ring with the other guy.
They hyped up the fight for months in the national tabloids telling everyone how much they hated each other and audley in particular spent weeks ranting about how bad he was going to hurt williams.
Come fight night and the 2 just sparred for a good 10 rounds, neither over commiting, harrison in particular reaked of a man too afraid to get hurt to actually commit and it was only when finding out from his corner how far he was behind danny that he started trading...........and got dumped on his arse with a big overhand right.
From that day on...A-Farce Fraudley Harrison was born!!

How about Sprott/Skelton last year? These two hugged all night!!
I thought the whole card of Calzaghe/Manfredo was just dire also!! Total disappointment. I wonder how many people wanted their money back that night, mind you Joe did win so maybe not!

I just couldnt stomach to watch that. Both coming off wins against britains supposed "great heavyweight hopes" both very up and down fighters, both mid 30s, both supposed contenders for Wlad who would of flattened the pair of them in an instant.
It was almost like watching your favourite footie sides reserve team play!!
Re: Your least favorite fight?
The reason for my choice of least favorite fight is because i expected a war and got come dancing.
James BONECRUSHER Smith v Mike Tyson.
i really thought Smith would just come out slugging as he did againest Witherspoon. :(
Re: Your least favorite fight?
Harrison - Williams 1 was awful.
Re: Your least favorite fight?
Briggs--Lyakhovich. One because it was boring. Two because my man SL lost. :(
