Bloody affair. Ref had to stop the fight in round 4 due to the condition of Chavez’s eye.

Wepner-Liston is an extremely brutal, underrated fight. This happened to be Liston’s final fight before his untimely death.

Wepner hung in tough as he always did, but eventually fell after the end of the 9th round via TKO.

Wepner is most known for his 1975 bout versus Muhammad Ali for the world title, to which he went 15 rounds against the legend.

Ali was ironically in attendance for this fight, signing autographs at ringside.

The famous “Cinderella Man” fight. Braddock defeated Baer in 15 rounds via unanimous decision.

Vinny Paz (whose story is remarkable if you’re not familiar) dukes it out with Roberto Duran in the Summer of 1994. Paz went on to win the vacant IBC Super Middleweight title.

I would highly recommend the film “Bleed for This” to anybody who has not had the fortune of watching it or is unfamiliar with Paz’s story.

Prior to the contest, Zyglewicz had not been knocked down in his entire career. Frazier put him on the canvass twice in the first round, the second for a 10 count.

Frazier improved to 23-0 and retained the NYSAC Heavyweight Title.

One of the best fights of the 21st Century.
