Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
Bruno v witherspoon
macklin v moore
Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
Tyson v Rudduck is the fight I have watched the most.
Barrera v Morales 1 is the best fight I have ever seen but do not watch it as much as I am a fan of Eric but Barrera should have got the decision.
Benn v McClellan is the most courageous and inspiring but the end puts me off watching that which is why I do not like to watch Eubank v Watson 2.
Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
Just because Benn-McClellan was mentioned (never be a better fight for me watching live on the night. Electric. Brutal. The atmosphere. We didn't know at the time it would end tragic).
But watching G-Man-Jackson the other week - he was sticking his gum shield out and doing that blinking stuff in that fight too, when he got hurt/tired.

Yes rumour is that was where G Man got his brain injury against Jackson

i'll have to watch that now
Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
I'm not sure we can actually pinpoint when brain damage occurs from punches. The gum shield/blinking was a sign he was under stress. But my point is he did it before the Benn fight so it wouldn't have been a tell that he was injured.

If you watch the interview after their first fight G Man says he was tired and wanted to go to sleep when commenting on Jackson's power.
Jackson was also battering G Man until the head clash.
Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
Yeah G-Man had been seriously hurt and was under the cosh when he got a bit "lucky" (I don't really believe in luck in boxing) against Jackson. G-Man wasn't just a massive vicious puncher he had a granite chin too - which unfortunately probably aided in him being brain damaged.
Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
I watched it
Jackson did seem to win all of the rounds, the head clash affected him at the end of the third but I think he came back to take the forth
If Mclellan did get his brain injury during that fight then he was very lucky between then and the benn fight that it didn't surface earlier
All that sparing and 3 fights or something
Re: Fights you couldn't forget if you tried!!!
All fantastic fights that have been mentioned.
Ali/ Fraizer (I & III) Ali/ Foreman & Douglas/ Tyson are fights I can never forget.
