Watched some ESPN classic fights and Mark Breland v Aaron Davis was an exciting fight. both were from New York but the fight was in Reno. Breland had won the vacant WBA World Welterweight Championship. He lost it in his first defense to Marlon Starling. In 1989, Breland again won the vacant WBA Welterweight Title. He made three successful title defenses before losing it to Aaron Davis in a thrilling 9-round contest.

Breland was rocked with a jab in the 1st round but had Davis eye swollen. Breland was knocked down in the 4th with a left hook but was generally winning the fight. The ref nearly called off twice because of injuries to Davis' eye before Breland was knocked out in round 9 with a huge right hand.

What are peoples memories of that fight?
