    Default The Best Fights Ever Aired On ESPN?

    We always talk about the best fights on HBO and Showtime but we rarely just talk about fights that were aired on ESPN....

    So I thought we should list the BEST/GREATEST fights ever aired "originally" by ESPN.
    (Not counting Classics that are re-aired and or anything else aired by them that was not an original ESPN fight)


    Heres some that come to mind.

    1. William Lee vs. John LoCicero
    2. Micky Ward vs. Emmanuel Augustus
    3. Sakio Bika vs. Jaidon Codrington
    4. Julio C. Gonzalez vs. Julian Letterlough
    5. Willie Gibbs vs. Daniel Edouard
    6. Jason Litzau vs. John Nolasco
    7. Pernell Whitaker vs. Diosbelys Hurtado

    CC#229 Galaxy thanks for the reply.
    Yeah! Ward vs. Burton was damn! great. By any chance have you seen the Lee vs. LoCicero fight I listed. It was at the begining of the ESPN fights it was like a Kronk Gym fight night where Emmanuel showcased a couple of his fighters.
    Good call on Ebo vs. Courteny yes it was aired on ESPN. Hall vs. Letterlough sure as hell was a good one.
    Thanks for the input.

    #2 and #6 immediately came to mind for me CMM. Seen the Ward fight many times, great fight. Darnell "Ding-a-Ling"Wilson vs. that guy{forgot his name}, where he almost knocked his head off last year. There was a fight a couple of years ago, maybe someone can help me with the guys names. Some little kat from New Zealand fighting this Black guy that kept knocking him down over and over and over, but the little kid from New Zealand kept getting up again and again. By the time the 1st few rounds were over the whole crowd seemed to be cheering for that punching bag from Zealand. Sorry I forgot the names, someone will remember them for me.
