    Default Most Underrated Fights Ever

    OK, so we all know about the greatest fights ever Gatti-Ward, Castillo-Corrales ect.

    But what are some fights that you really enjoy that nobody ever really talks about as good/great fights? They don't have to be all action thrillers, but just some fights you really find enjoyable that some might not know about or know they were great.

    I'll start out.

    Lamon Brewster - Sergei Lyakhovich

    Juan Diaz - Jose Cotto

    Librado Andrade - Yusaf Mack

    Jamie Moore - Matthew Macklin

    Jean Marc Mormeck - Oneil Bell


    There's more but that's a pretty good spectrum to start out I think.

    "Must spread rep" or some thing.On and off stamina aside....Morrison had a left hook that could hurt ANY heavyweight in recent memory.....Kelly vs. Gonzalez was awesome as well.Who called it,his corner or Kelly ? Frankie Randall Vs. Chavez 1..........just a perfectly executed game plan!Could be a long list

    Haven't actually seen it, but I did watch an ancient ESPN replay not to long ago, of a young Kevin Kelly vs Troy Dorsey. That was also a great fight that I've never heard mentioned, toe to toe battle till the end. Kelly really liked to fight to much for his own good and gave up all his advantages, I actually thought he may have lost.

    When I think of this I think of like fights on ESPN2, Telefutura, etc.

    Of course there's the king of all ESPN fights, Burton-Ward. But that might not be underrated. Actually it is underrated even by those that say it was a great fight. Letterlough-Gonzalez was fun.

    There was a fight on I think Telefutura or some Spanish channel a few years ago between Antonio Escalante and the guy who KO'd Litzau. Jose Hernandez maybe Was a good fight.

    That's the first time I've seen someone mention that fight. Yes, Hernandez-Escalante was a great fight. Happened in January I remember that for some reason one time I was thinking of the best fights ever to happen in January and I thought of that one and Bell-Mormeck. Why I was thinking of that I don't know.

    I also think of those but so few people get to watch them that I try not to include them but there are so many great fights on ESPN2.

    Also, watching Toney-Jirov last night for the first few rounds it reminded me of a cruiserweight Burton-Ward. I realize that's probably flawed, but a raw aggression guy with a slick guy who liked to fight at closed quarters. I don't know, thought Burton was robbed but that's easily one of the best fights of all time. Has to win that ESPN contest for fight of the decade imo.

    Darnell Wilson-Kelvin Davis was a good one too. Kelvin Davis was an awesome fighter, very fun to watch even when he wasn't winning it's to bad he fell off that bridge.

    Edner Cherry - Jorge Santa Cruz was a very good scrap on the undercard of the terrible Rolando Reyes-Jose Luis Castillo fight.
