My personal favorites are
1) Castillo-Corralles the first
I was doing my laundry that day and at the same time watching tv. I was jumping from the floor to the ceiling eversince the 1st round and literally. It was a blood and guts type of fight, I say better than Gatti-Ward. The ending was even better. I was such a good exciting fight
2) Pac-Morales 2
Pac pumped up the volume and the whole pinoy crowd that I was with just went monekys ga gag gaaa in that 10th round. I loved that fight and I still watch it every single day on my computer.
Castillo vs Corrales I was a good fight.Originally Posted by MrB

Manny-Morales 1 :
No I didn't like it because Manny lost. Hehe. I was crying and got myself drunk.
Manny-Morales 3 :
This fight caused me to lose my job. They wouldnt allow me to excuse myself from work on a Sunday morning so I never went to work. Im still unemployed up to this day...

Corrales Castillo I say is the best ever that I have seen on TV. Pure action and drama. My brother even hit me in the head for being so noisy while watching the fight. He doesnt like screaming and jumping around. But I knew he was thrilled watching that fight tooo

Atleast your'e honest. It was a worthy defeat. I'll bet that you really hated the Singsurat match then. That was a shocker.Originally Posted by MrB
He's improved a hell of a lot sense that knockout.
Heh heh heh. Funny thing about that fight...generally, after the first few rounds, most boxing fans can pick who's going to pull it out...who's going to come out on top of the bout...I had no clue.Originally Posted by MrB
That shit jumped around so much...first Corrales was coming on strong...then Castillo drops him...then Corrales get's back up & blasts him out.
Pretty crazy...but it was a fight that honestly...I can say was fun to watch.

Manny wasn't making the frontpage then. But he sure was already making the sports page headline. I remember people wrote him off as lazy and undisciplined. I felt really bad with that fight. I thought he was strong enough for singsurat. They played the fight on a delayed basis. Never bothered to watch it. I head of the news a few hours ago. I sure did follow his career. I met him once and he was very humble. But not these days, you'd get punched in the stomach or elbow if you go very near manny by his bodyguardsOriginally Posted by wacko3205

I was rooting for Chico honestly. But I was changing sides from time to time from chico to castillo to castillo chico whoever lands a good one. When Chico went down the 1st time, I thought OOhh this is over. It was such a good shot that Castillo landed. Chico got up and went down again. I thought it was really over. For some reason tho Chico still got his senses and was spitting his mouthpiece. I was just waiting for Chico to get knocked cold when he landed a really good shot and suddenly the fight over turned! God damn. Truly truly exciting fight. I love fight. I love talking about that fight.
I'd pretty much recommend any fight of the year by ring, they always pick the right one.Originally Posted by voodoo_dude
Remember the good old days, we miss you Marco!
All three Barrera - Morales fights, my favourite trilogy.
nigel benn vs gerald mcclellan
Still cant believe Benn won that one after spending most of 1st round on the canvas
Matthew Saad Muhammad -v- Yaqui Lopez 2 (1980) is the most exciting fight for me.
Most fights involving Saad between 1977 & 1982 could qualify; he was a very exciting fighter to watch.![]()

I second that. The first Barrera/Morales fight was an absolute stormer.Originally Posted by beerjelly
try - naseem hamed vs kevin kelley
- DLH vs gatti , and DLH vs j.c.c 1
- calzaghe vs lacy
some of the fights especially calzaghe vs lacy may have seemed more exciting at the first watching of it as i wanted calzaghe to win and he was the underdog and he put in such a good performance
