Great Defeats

[Spicoli]

Barely out of high school Bones Adams, busted jaw and all vs Orlando Canizales.

Judah vs Danny Garcia. Love him or hate him..Judah put it on him!

I always like Clarence.


Judahs best fight might have been his loss to Cotto. Shane's against Cotto was valiant also but he simply ran out of rounds.

[Mark TKO]

I remember a british fighter, Richard Evatt, giving Junior Jones a real battle back around 2000ish (presume it was a Naz undercard).

Evatt had him down twice before losing late on by getting kayoed himself (may even have been last round). He must have been ahead on cards too.

Sadly I read a couple of years ago that Evatt had died in a homeless shelter

[Fenster]

Wayne McCullough and In-jin Chi against Morales. Even though they clearly lost on the cards the fights were fantastic. Two complete and utter mentals that wont stop coming

Yeah it was a Naz undercard (Ingle) and I remember Sky had Evatt hacking up before getting chinned - it was the 11th round.

Had totally forgot this. Mark is right he did sadly die in a shelter, so I read just now. Seeing the pictures of him in his tiger shorts/poncho really brings back memories of that late mid to late 90s era that was my introduction to boxing.

Pretty hard to top Sam Mcveys efforts on that foggy night in Paris 1909 against Joe Jeanette in that close to 4 hour marathon that went close to 50 rounds.

I'll never forget it. Yes it was a cold night but the red hot action kept us all warm.

Add Ayala to the Morales ticker tape. How that guy remained on his feet to the finish was nothing short of a miracle.

[El Kabong]

George Foreman vs Evander Holyfield....hard fight surprisingly difficult for Evander

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis, all heart in that fight

Good call, Judah manned up vs Cotto.

Actually I scored Shane vs Miguel a draw, Cotto got on his bike the last round or two, I think.

Matthew Saad Muhhamad vs Yaqui Lopez

Lopez feels it's his last shot at a title, just a great effort, And Round 8, was round of the year. Great losing effort, he brought his ass to the table in this clip!!

[SlimTrae]

Ken Norton IMO would never give a greater effort thann his first & only title defense. Back n forth action for 14 rounds...and then they both come out in round 15, like they had stamina to blow. No shame in the way Norton loss this fight.

Watch this one,

Have we had Meldrick Taylor v Chavez because he gave it his all.

Also Vargas v Tito, Fernando was never the same again.

if you are going to lose you go out on your shield.

I wouldn't put the Taylor fight because in theory he won. Just a miserable decsion on Steele's part. And he rightfully was removed from top level fights after that.

Vargas nor Taylor were the same, but man, it still hurts me to this day thinking about that stoppage. Vargas lost...but you're right he went out on his shield.

Chavez even stated post fight Meldrick was landing 3 to his 1. Yes Taylor pissed blood and yes he was battered, but 2 seconds?
