    Default Chess matches.

    What are some highly technical fights?

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Good ones.

    Both of Whittakers fights with Buddy McGirt and against Azumah Nelson are stupidly high level boxing.

    1) Leonard vs Hearns 1
    2) Barerra vs Morales (all 3)
    3) Izzy Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez (unbelievably skillfull fights)
    4) Toney vs McCallum
    5) Oscar vs Mosely (both fights)

    Barerra vs Morales 1 was the best fight I ever saw and it was not a chess match.

    Man, that fight was way too entertaining to have been a chess match. By the 11th or so round, those two were glued forehead to forehead center ring --in a virtual phonebooth.

    Ray had to bring the dog out and pounded out a victory.

    I need to watch it again then but to me it was like a mirror match where they knew what each other was going to do and it was cagey.

    True. Even Ray stated years later that he felt like Benitez was a mirrored image of himself.
    Maybe I have gotten accustomed to anti-chess match fans calling that style of fight boring.
    Nothing boring about Leonard vs. Benitez

    And on the Nunn note, -Same here LOL, I thought Tate got schooled by Nunn.
    What I do need to watch again, was the reffing towards the end, Wasn't there a bogus count where Nunn should have won earlier?

    Every fight is a chess match to some degree.
    Lara vs anyone

    Some are good and bad at the same time.
    Mayweather vs anyone

    Some are pure crap.
    Bailey vs Alexander

    Some are very good and raise the spirits.
    Khan vs Alexander
    Brook vs Porter
    Maidana vs Broner
    Crawford vs Gamboa

    In my opinion, of course. Lol
