The FORMER "best" first round in history- Mancini vs. Frias!
Hagler/Hearns's first round 3 years later surpassed this fight, but not by much by the looks of this. The announcers could have been a little better, got off of themselves and kept the television audience more on edge than it already was. But, they learned when Hagler/Hearns came around. lol....
This was for Frias's WBA Lightweight title. Just watch...EPIC!

If my memory is correct, Frias had a pretty illustrious amateur career.

Nah. He had a few good defences before he ran into Bramble. And the rest is history!
