I'm new to this boxing forum lark so apologies if this has been done before! Just wondered what people's opinions were on the best round of boxing they have ever seen? I would have to pick round 10 in the Bowe/Holyfield 1 fight purely for the way Holyfield came back at Bowe towards the end of the round. I know there a lot of proper die hard fans on this site so there might be a little gem tucked away that I haven't seen before!
i am almost certain castillo v corales 1 will be mentioned :)
Good shout. I thought Corales was a gonna! I remember Corales's trainer saying something quite funny when he was putting his gumshield back in.Quote:

Just have to go with Hagler-Hearns Round 1
A close second would be Gatti-Ward Round 9
An underrated one i never see mention is Edwin Rosario vs Jose Luis Ramirez 2, it was basically Tommy Hearns vs Marvin Hagler but it was even better. The 1st round as i remember it was a classic.
Also some other underrated ones.
Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Yaqui Lopez 2 Round 8
Marvin Johnson vs Leslie Stewart 1 Round 1
Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor Round 3
Bob Foster vs Frank DePaula Round 1
Floyd Patterson vs Ingemar Johansson 3 Round 1
Caveman Lee vs John LoCiero Round 5
Larry Holmes vs Tim Witherspoon Round 9
Kelvin Seabrooks vs Thierry Jacob Round 1
Terry Norris vs Troy Waters Round 2
Acelino Freitas vs Jorge Barrios Round 11
Kevin Kelley vs Troy Dorsey Round 11
Some underrated ones there be sure to check them out.
ODH v Quartey Round 12
Jaime Garza vs Juan meza....pull the pin, stand back!
I'm gonna stick with a fight on British soil and go with graham earl vs micheal katsidis. I can't remember exactly what round, I think it might of been the 3rd. The fight only lasted four or five. But my gosh what a barnburner.
It might not of been the be the greatest round ever, but it was definately one for the scrapbook. I recommend any of u guys to YouTube it as u won't be dissapoited.
I love the Rocky movie type fight like the Corrales-Castillo, Barrera-Morales, or Gatti Ward. I also enjoy the KD exchange in the same round like Maidana-Ortiz or Holt-Torres.
B.Con vs JuanMa R1
Come on now. You can do better than that. Except for one punch by Bernie it was a one-sided round in a one-sided fightQuote:

Moorer vs Cooper 1
for me it is Hagler V Hearns round 1.
This is one of my all time favorite rounds ever.

That was gold!!!!Quote:

Corrales V Castillo
Hagler V Hearns
Mancini V Frias
I would be here all night listing rounds... Way too many to list.
But here are 2 that you really don't see listed.
Kosovo Kid vs. Ahmad
Delvin Rodriguez vs. Christopher Henry
pick any round in those 2 short fights.
Nigel Benn-Iran Barkley.
A 1 round war!
That was quality, look at Benn's feet after the first kncokdown. He's just itching to get stuck in again.Quote:
