Let's get a thread going about the best fights you've ever seen in your life. Post a description and/or a link to download or youtube.

I'll start (with boxing naturally):

Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo. Hands down my favorite fight. Non-stop action from beginning to end, tons of drama, multiple knockdowns, a little controversy and a shocking ending. I can throw this fight in the DVD player at any time and still get chills down my spine.

Final Round:



Mickey Ward vs. Arturo Gatti I. The first of three fights. It seemed Gatti and Ward were made for eachother, another non-stop action fight. Round 9 sums up the fight perfectly, which was quite possibly one of the best rounds ever to watch:




Tons of other great fights - hearns/hagler, leonard/hearns, aaron pryor/arguello, but just to throw a recent one as my #3, Imma say

Margarito vs Cotto. To hardcore boxing fans, this was the biggest fight at the welterweight division since the sugar ray leonard days. Two of the absolute best at Welterweight in their primes going head to head to fill the void since Mayweathers retirement. Cotto with the technical skill, Margarito with his ruthless and relentless pressure. Mexico vs Puerto Rico rivalry.

Ward vs. Gatti I
Nick Diaz vs. Takanori Gomi

Gomi starts the fight beating the shit out of Nick, then gasses, then Nick proceeds to pepper the fuck out of him with his pitter pat boxing. It turns into a slugfest and Nick gets one of the worst cuts I've ever seen under his eye, Gomi resorts to throwing haymakers from his ass and eventually catches Nick, and we get to see the most elusive sub in all of MMA.


Errol Zimmerman vs. Badr Hari
Finals of the 2008 K1 World Grand Prix between two of the most talented kickboxers around right now. I think the craziest part of the fight is that Hari didn't die from the goddamn tactical nuke Zimmerman landed on him at 1:50

Jongsanan vs Sakmongkol
A muay thai fight that features my instructor Jongsanan "The Wooden Man" Fairtex. This is only one fight from the multiple wars they had they had. Jongsanan was a motherfucking beast and always kept coming forward. Dude is a warrior and a muay thai legend.



Leonard Garcia vs Chan Sung Jung aka Korean Zombie
Need I say more? This is 2010 fight of the year.


Wanderlei Silva vs Chuck Liddell
The 2 greatest light heavyweight fighters of all time finally meet up. Probably the most anticipated MMA fight of all time.
