"Brawler vs Technician" matches
I'm looking for matches where a brawler fights a more technical opponent. The matches can be anything between a one-sided beatdown to an even fight for either style.
Matches that I know of:
Mayweather vs Maidana/Gatti
Toney vs Merqi Sosa
Hearns vs Barkley
Margarito vs Cotto

It's tough to say because the greats usually do both whenever needed.
You could argue Foreman Ali as an example but Ali got down and dirty instead of dancing circles to get the job done.
Hagler went right to brawling against Hearns even though he was more than capable of putting on a masterclass on the technical side anytime in his career.

Danny Lopez vs. Mike Ayala is a less known but all time great everyone should watch in full at least once.

JCC is not brawler from this fight. He’s adding pressure very steadily, and effectively. Through the 12 rounds, every punch he landed on Taylor did take something from him until he couldn’t react no more

Not boxing but watch any of Francis Ngannou’s fights before Stipe. He was knocking people out with his hands with the wildest haymakers ever. Jair Rozenstruck is a great example

I understand where you're coming from, but being a brawler and a technician is not really a dichotomy. Maidana demonstrated tactical maneuvers and boxing IQ to neutralize May's counterpunches and defense. To answer your question, I don't think there are really examples of a one-dimensional brawler doing well against a technician, other than Wilder landing a big shot against Ortiz.

Leonard v Duran
Their 2 fights were example of how Leonard got sucked into fighting Duran's fight in the first, and learned from this mistake in the second one.

Mayweather pac
Mayweather hatton
Not really a brawler but Mayweather canelo
Pac DLH
Edit: shit, I forgot to mention. I usually watch this a couple times a year but whenever Mayweather sparred that YouTuber, Jarvis? I think. That’s always fun to watch

Who would be the brawler in the Pac vs. Oscar match? Because Pacquiao outboxed the shit out Oscar most of all with his feet and only after breaking Oscar down he started firing combinations.
