From any era really.
The Tom Collins v Dennis Andries fights are tough ones.
Mo Hussain v Lloyd Christie , is one of my favorites.
Mark Kaylor v Errol Christie.
Steve Robinson Vs Paul Hodkinson , british fight of the year at the time.
A great fight which I watched from ringside as a kid.
On that note Steve beating the Newcastle lad at short notice was a remarkable Cinderella story.Quote:

Was at all of steve robinsons world title fights apart from when he beat Davison and when he lost to Naz.
My brother and father went to the Naz fight but I was in army trainning so I missed it.
And we use the words WORLD title fights very loseley indeed. ;DQuote:

Herol Graham v Rod Douglas, and then tell me Benn, Eubanks, or Watson could beat him.
Have a look at Michael Ayers first fight with Wayne Rigby - great tear up
I just watched this cracking fight and great sportmanship, i used to see Michael Ayers at times great guy.Quote:

Lueshing-Saunders was brilliant... about 100 knockdowns ;D
Ayers-Rigby ending after the brutal war was amazing too. It was like they realised the war had gone to far
Williams v Samuals 2 was good
Yea this guy from eastside who i just stumbled upon, because i was googling Michael Ayers. Is uploading all the British closet classic fights, so i found his youtube account.Quote:

Brodie is another fighter always in crackers. Think the Swain fight was the first time I saw Brodie :cool:
Anyone remember Del Bryan, southpaw black fighter who had a good punch and could be knocked down.
Yea i watched some Michael Brodie fights when i was younger, i was always a fan of his. Aswell as Paul Ingle he was one of my favorite, British fighters as a kid.Quote:

Also does anyone remember Carl Thompson vs Terry Dunstan ? i heard this had a double knockdown in the last round, it seems every fight Carl Thompson's in its a FOTY candidate.
The name rings a bell, i seem to remember something, about him and Harry Simon fighting and his fight with Ryan Rhodes. But not much else other than that.Quote:

;D;D;D
Well the first one that sprung to mind was the fairly recent Jaime Moore v Matthew Macklin fight, absolute barnburner !
Chris eubank v Carl Thompson is worth a watch
I remember following Spencer Oliver's early career till it was cut short rather tradgically, i enjoyed watching his fights
Remind me mate is he from Dagenham or Colchester?Quote:

Adi Lewis V Nicky Booth cracking fight no Adi quite well the little shit ;D.
Enzo Maccarinelli vs Mark Hobson 1
Spencer Fearon vs David Walker
Just watched Mark Kaylor vs Errol Christie, great grudge match and a great fight. Good to see them being sportsman after the fight though.Quote:

You beat me to it - Check out some old Dunstan stuff. The guy is probably one of the most naturally talented British fighters never to win a world title (He was 1 round away!) - I sparred him a couple times when he was helping me out and he kicked my ass in the old 1900's queensbury stance (both fists facing towards yourself) and even did the running man at one point whilst jabbing me lol piss taker ;DQuote:

I am sure Scrap has been in his corner when he last fought.Quote:

Yeah he was - Terry's still going. Beat Mickey Steeds last I believe in Alexandra Palace a month or two ago..I last saw him at Larry Olubamiwo's fight. Always funny - He just rips the piss out of me, he's a gent at heart though. Very nice guy. :cool:
