Foreman vs Lyle in 1975[rd 4] was perhaps the greatest HW rd ever. George Foreman was considered invincible untill about 18 mths prior to this fight when he was upset by Ali.George went thru a long period of depression and inactivity after the Ali loss and this was his first fight back since that loss. In this fight big George proved he wasnt a frontrunner and that he had heart and a chin to go with his huge power. Just an incredible rd of boxing..a true seesaw slugfest.

Marvin Hagler vs Tommy Hearns rd 1.
Hagler surprises everyone and goes toe to toe with power puncher Hearns right at the start. 20 seconds into the opening rd Hearns lands a right hand that wouldve knocked over a horse ,but despite a big gash on his forehead the iron chinned Hagler just took it and kept coming hard.

those 15 rounds must have been a different kind of experience, for those who have been there.

Vazquez Marquez Part 3 Rd 12. But it isn''t as significant if you havent watched all the rounds prior to it.
