Poll: Which Classic Round-by-Round Should Be Next?

by Scott Christ on Sep 28, 2009 3:38 AM EDT in Boxing History

I wound up having a lot of fun doing the first Classic Round-by-Round (Castillo-Mayweather I) about a week and a half ago, and I'm hoping to make it a regular feature, especially when you have what promises to be a slow period for news like the one we're in right now. I also want to do fights people want to discuss and would welcome everyone else's scoring when the posts are up and all that, so I thought I'd take a few fights I was considering and see what comes out on top, so indulge me, and if you feel really strongly about any one fight, say so.

I always thought Sweet P got jobbed in the ODLH fight, which is what I voted for to see your opinion.

I thought it was a great fight, thought Pea won also…I was also 14 when it happened and haven’t seen it since so I’d like to hear SC’s take on it.

Seconded. I think their first fight is still my favorite. Lampley was losing his mind.

Pretty sure I’ll get all these in, since we’ve had specific requests for Whitaker-ODLH and Barrera-Morales I, and Leonard-Hearns is probably going to win the poll. John-Marquez is something I want to do down the line anyway, so, yeah. News is gonna be slow and these things are fun discussion.
