Magic Performances

First topic message reminder :

Quite simply - a thread to post youtubes/dailymotions/googlevideo highlights of your favourite fights/performances from a boxer.

Hopefully - we get a good many and can form a bit of an archive - of classic material. Post the link and your reasons for why you think it should be there.

RJJ-Toney
RJJ isn't everyone's cup of tea (sorry coxy) but this was an incredible performance. Even when the commentators are praising Toney's punches, by and large RJJ is coming back with 2 or 3 hard shots of his own. Incredible handspeed and reflexes.

I was originally intending to move this to the vault and post the links to every fight here - but thanks to your interest - we've too many fights!

So if you're bored at work and fancy a youtube to cheer you up, sit back, browse and put a classic on to cheer you up.

Prince Naseem Hamed - Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly had only been beaten once in his career coming into this fight and was an extremely tough opponent for Hamed.

Barrera v Marquez...great fight, but no way were those score cards accurate. Not a highway robbery but Barrera clearly had the better of the first half of the contest and somehow lost this wide, lopsided decision. A shame Marquez wasn't in the mix while Barrera and Morales were at their best.

Prince Naseem Hamed - Marco Antonio Barrera

Hameds shot at greatness. - Has all the build up and studio reaction on Sky.

Was definitely overloked in there prime too true, was sort of part of the who needs him club at that point... As for the cards a few rounds wider than IU thought as well personally. But great fight nevertheless.

Saul Alvarez - Alfonso Gomez

Another good little performance from Saul Alvarez looks a real star at LMW.
Sorry the quality isn't 100% perfect on this one guys, but very watchable.

Oscar De La Hoya - Ricardo Mayorga

A lot of bad blood in this fight, Mayorga attacked De La Hoya as much as he could verbally and wound him up and De La Hoya let his feelings known.

Bernard Hopkins - Kelly Pavlik

Jermain Taylor beats Bernard Hopkins - Kelly Pavlik beats Jermain Taylor - So Pavlik beats Hopkins right?
Many thought he was finished after Calzaghe and that he was fodder for Pavlik, well he yet again upset the apple cart, here.

Shall we add pacquiao marquez III to that list

well the problem is that for a while most videos will be taken down unless its an obscure link but i will try, only problem is after a couple of days the link could become dead.

This fight for me epitamised a prime Julio Cesar Chavez, relentless from start to finish, made even better by the fact that it was the largest ever crowd for a boxing match in history.

Ward v Burton aka Augustus

Sorry if this has already been posted, a great back and forth scrap, all action.
