Most competitive one-sided fights

[CFH]

Random topic, I know.

I was watching Katsidis - Earl the other day and that got me thinking about this subject. It was a great, entertaining, competitive fight, but Katsidis was clearly in control for the vast majority of it and I started wondering about other fights that were similarly entertaining, competitive, yet relatively one-sided.

heh, asking for a fight who's both one-sided AND competitive, kinda hard to follow (damn BC ****** ).

Hmm I think I'll got for the two tyson vs. holyfield fights. It was the first times Tyson clearly lost a fight but, you know how Tyson's fight were, everyone was expecting a comeback KO at any moment .

Well, I'm thinking of fights like Katsidis - Earl or maybe Mayweather - Hatton. Fights where one guy was clearly winning, but it was still a competitive and entertaining bout.

Always thought Winky Wright vs Julio C Vasquez close aside from 4,5 "official" knockdowns

I think alot of those knockdowns were due to being off balance and atleast 1 was a slip. I remember he was hurt by one knockdown though, but yes despite all those knockdowns he only lost by about 3 points.

Holyfield v Foreman was compelling because you thought George could pull out a punch.

Mayweather v Gatti
