This thread will cover some of the most thrilling rounds in boxing history 1-12

We will start this off with Round 1 and I’m sure that you will all agree with my choice

1985
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
Marvin Hagler v Tommy Hearns
Round 1 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 2 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

There were a few in mind for Round 2 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">

Bradley v Provodnikov (War)
Foreman v Frazier (Foreman stops Frazier who shows the heart of a champion)

1993
Sports Arena, San Diego, California
Terry Norris v Troy Waters
Round 2 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 3 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

In recent times we’ve had Joshua v Ruiz but I had a tough choice with the below https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">

Marquez v Vasquez 2
Holyfield v Cooper

I had to go with the latter when Bert so nearly became world champ

1991
The Omni, Atlanta
Evander Holyfield v Bert Cooper
Round 3 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 4 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

This was an easy choice for me. Two big heavyweights throwing leather with both men hitting the canvas!

1976
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
George Foreman v Ron Lyle
Round 4 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 5 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

This was another no brainer for me. The first meeting of these two Mexican legends did not disappoint and what a rivalry they had!

2000
Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas
Erik Morales v Marco Antonio Barrera
Round 5 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 6 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

I must give an honourable mention to De La Hoya v Quartey but Marvelous Marvin Hagler becomes the first man to appear twice in yet another action packed round!

1986
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
Hagler v Mugabi
Round 6 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 7 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

There were a few for me to think about for round 7 including

Gatti v Ward 3
Holyfield v Foreman

But I’ve gone with the final fight in the career of ‘Chiquita’

1995
Great Western Forum, Inglewood
Humberto Gonzalez v Saman Sorjaturong
Round 7 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 8 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

The second meeting of two absolute warriors battling for the WBC light heavyweight title

1980
Great Gorge Playboy Club, New Jersey
Matthew Saad Muhammad v Yaqui Lopez
Round 8 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 9 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

Do I really need to write a thing?

Real boxing fans know!!!!

Round 9... that is all https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 10 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

“You gotta fucking get inside on him now”

2005
Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas
Diego Corrales v Jose Luis Castillo
Round 10 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 11 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

Another thrilling round for these two Mexican warriors in the third and final fight of their fantastic rivalry

2004
MGM Grand, Las Vegas
Erik Morales v Marco Antonio Barrera 3
Round 11 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Round 12https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
