tyson_francis_allthebestfights

4_stars_allthebestfights Review: 2000-01-29, Mike Tyson vs Julius Francis was certainly one of the best fights of 2000, as many fighting of Iron Mike. In January 2000, when he faced Julius Francis (21-7-0), Mike Tyson (46-3-0) had already lost against James Buster Douglas and twice with Evander Holyfield, but at 33 years old he seemed still have the desire and the anger of the past.

2011 BOXING video – Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Billy Lyell – video fight

chavez_jr_lyell_allthebestfights

3_stars_allthebestfights Review: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr last weekend faced Billy Lyell for the WBC Silver middleweight title. The son of the famous Julio Cesar Chavez, however, has not convinced all his fans and especially his trainer Freddie Roach, the principal cause was the good performance of Billy Lyell. It will not be the fight of the year of 2011 but is a good fight to watch. Watch the video!

mosley_de_la_hoya_allthebestfights

5_stars_allthebestfights Review: 2000-06-17, Oscar De La Hoya had lost the WBC welterweight title against Felix Trinidad in 1999, but the Puerto Rican boxer left the title vacant (since he moved up in weight class to the light middleweight division), thus the “Golden Boy” faced Shane Mosley to get hold of the title. “Sugar” Shane was still undefeated, having a record of 34-0-0, while Oscar De La Hoya entered the fight with a record of 32-1-0. The first fight between Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya was a spectacular and balanced battle; one of the Fights of the Year 2000. Watch the video!
