This is a fight that likely only real hardcore boxing fans have seen, and it was a battle not for the faint-hearted. The little guys of the flyweight division usually dont get as much recognition as they deserve, but Marquez and Concepcion was to change this on the night of 2nd April 2011. Both Morales and Barrera took so much punishment, that it was almost impossible to split the pair at the final bell despite Barrera claiming a 12th round knockdown on Morales. Gatti began standing his ground, ready for the brawl and abandoning his more technical approach to the early rounds. This was one of the most anticipated fights in the 20. century, and it was even billed as The Fight of the Century. Both men were undefeated when they squared off against each other for the WBA, WBC, and Ring heavyweight titles. [CDATA[/* >
