Highs:
Ali-Foreman.... the upset of the century and other than Tyson-Douglas still one of the biggest of all time
Duran-Leonard I..... I was rooting for Leonard, but appreciated the fight I had just seen
Leonard-Hearns I..... another one of those classics I was happy to have seen
Gomez-Zarate..... big, bad, undefeated Zarate... conqueror of countryman Zamora and the favorite in some minds. Utter destruction.
Rosario-Bramble..... never saw it coming. Thought Bramble was going to be too strong and durable.
Tszyu-Judah..... never liked Judah at that time, and thoroughly enjoyed the chicken dance.
Trinidad-Vargas..... still my all-time favorite fight. Lost my voice for 3 days from yelling in celebration.
Mosley-Margarito..... bounced around a hotel room where I was watching the fight. Double happy to see when Cheato was exposed.
Manny-Margarito..... karma
Cotto-Margarito II...... wanted a KO, but settled for the stoppage and "drop dead" stare at the end.
Trinidad-Joppy...... wasn't quite convinced Trinidad could beat a middleweight champion in his first fight at MW. Was pleasantly surprised.
Lows:
Duran-De Jesus III...... Esteban had already beaten Duran once and had that vaunted left hook he had floored Duran with. Later on Duran would say Esteban was his toughest and paid his respects. Beat Esteban by TKO that day, though.
Hopkins-Trinidad...... my coming down to earth moment.
Cotto-Margarito I...... always wondered how Cotto's face was so broken up in a fight he was winning until the 6th round. Got my answer in the Margarito-Mosley fight.
Pryor-Arguello I and II...... Arguello was one of my favorites, although he had beaten local champ Alfredo Escalera in a brutal fight.
Holmes-Ali...... never liked Holmes, and couldn't believe they had let Ali get in the ring again.
Floyd-Manny...... I expected SO much more from that fight....
Sure I'm forgetting many highs and lows..... will add as I remember them.
