Under Rated Fights.

Fight with No big names - Not promoted well, but delivered the goods.


I Dug out an old VHS tape that had Versus boxing: Adamak vs Cunningham.

Just a great fight, good ebb n flow action. Toe to toe, Cunningham the champ dropped 3 times, then boxes his way back, slugs his way back, wins the 12th, but lost the fight.


Tarver vs Johnson I II
If it weren't for Roy Jones, both these guys would be somewhat obscure name to sports world in general.
Tarver at best would be known as Mason Dixon, but who would've known Mason Dixon was the man that knocked out RJJ?
What a shame we talk about Gatti-Ward as a great fight, because HBO promoted it as such.

Johnson vs Tarver I II were great fights from beginning to end.

Yohnny Perez vs Joseph Agbeko I ( didnt see the rematch, but the first one was high-octane) both guys wanted it. Casual fans will never know their names- even the ones who know Donaire- the man to knock out Dchin...yet D-chin also lost to Agbeko which set up this match.
Totally under the radar fight that delivered in skill and excitement.

Rocky Gannon vs Richard Hall

Hate to say it cause it shattered me, but Phillips vs Tszyu was some fight.

Looking myself, if I find it, I'll post it.

Robbie Sims vs. Iran Barkley

Brutal Battle.

Oba Carr v Livingston Bramble was a good exciting fight where the young undefeated fighter nearly lost the fight.

Bramble has had a few fights that were exciting, yet his name isn't talked about very often.

Another guy who frequents the BHOF, really cool dude.

Chuvalo vs Floyd Patterson

Cory Spinks vs Deandre Lattimore

Spinks reflexes looked shot, so he brawled to get this win.

Loved that one. Call it baptism of fire or Oba's welcome to the real ring, they went to war. Had Bramble winning. I spent at least 10 bucks calling that 900 # they did to pick Bramble in the "opponent poll" ;D

Dave Hilton VS Stephane Ouellet 1

I always liked him. Another one of these guys that on any given night could have beaten anyone in the weight class.

His fights with Mancini were epic.

Yes the Mancini fights were excellent - southpaw or orthodox.

Mayweather vs Corley.
Floyd couldn't have been any more exciting. Moving up to 140 and didn't box at all. Toe to toe.

Adamak vs Paul Briggs I a war.
Spadafora vs Leonard Dorin pity pat punches from both, but they were exchanging non stop.

Mormeck vs. Bell cruiser weight war deserved to be mentioned with Holy-Qawi.

Carmelo Negron vs James Pipps. Holyfield had his 7th fight on the undercard. I read about it in the ringside reports that used to be in Ring. A 10 round draw, both guys got medical suspensions.
I don't think it is on YouTube, not last I looked. I bought it from a guy in the back of Ring.

Joshua Clottey vs Richard Guiterrez. Both were undefeated & fought a phone booth war.

Lenny Daws v Ashley Theophane
Nolan v Dolan 1

Hiroshi Kobayashi vs. Alfredo Marcano

Bobby Chacon vs. Arturo Frias

Ernesto Hoost vs. Bob Sapp

@Erik &Pax -thx haven't heard of those fights, Will look 4 them.
