It contained all of the criteria listed above and then some. Bobby came back from the brink to win in dramatic fashion. Had to see it to believe it.

2 Bobby Chacon vs. Cornelius Boza-Edwards on May 15, 1983: Same as number one. Ebb and flow, savagery, courage, violence, technical skills…everything was included. 1983 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year. Chacon rose from a knockdown in round one and recovered from a dangerous cut to drop Boza Edwards in round twelve and avenge an earlier defeat. Redemption at a high cost.

These ones get mentioned a lot, unfortunately I never did see them. I did however see Cornelius Boza-Edwards vs. Rafael "Bazooka" Limon, March 8, 1981. Your descriptions above fit this one also. except I don't know if it made "fight of the year". But it was an epic battle, with Edwards winning by 15 rd UD.
