Holstein Plaza Members recognized as Progressive Breeders

'The Progressive Breeders’ Registry recognition traces its origin back to the 1930’s. It was first given in 1937 at the state level in four western states, and was quickly adopted by the Holstein Association as a nationwide award two years later. The PBR was designed to promote interest in both the Holstein Association classification program and production testing. These methods of gathering information on female performance were essential for continued..

Well, with your suffering in mind, we decided to put together “Our Favorites” to help you get your fix of the sweet science. Boxing Junkie staffers Michael Rosenthal, Norm Frauenheim and Sean Nam will give you their three favorite boxing matches, three favorite boxing movies and three favorite boxing books.

Today: boxing matches.

MICHAEL ROSENTHAL

Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier III
Date / site: Oct. 1, 1975 / Quezon City, Philippines
Result: Ali TKO 14

Ali said after his third fight with his arch rival that “It was like death. Closest thing to dyin’ that I know of.” That gives you an idea of the brutality of the Thrilla in Manila. Ali and Frazier gave and took hard punches at a feverish rate in spite of the stifling heat in the arena, which Frazer guessed reached 120 degrees. They both grew weary but Frazier declined more rapidly than Ali, who handed out a vicious beating in Round 14. The great Eddie Futch, Frazier’s trainer, stopped it there to protect his beaten fighter. Thus ended arguably the greatest heavyweight fight ever.

Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns
Date / site: April 15, 1985 / Las Vegas
Result: Hagler TKO 3

Hagler vs. Hearns had to the most-action packed fight ever pound-for-pound … er, round-for-round. The fighters, two of the biggest punchers of all time, gave fans a classic opening stanza in which hard, accurate punches flew at a breathtaking rate. Hagler continued to attack with one thing in mind in Round 2 and Hearns – trying to box at times but unable to keep Hagler off him – returned fire. Then, in Round 3, Hagler landed a right to the side of Hearns’ head and then a straight right that took him out. Never was more mayhem packed into two-plus rounds.

Archie Moore vs. Yvon Durelle I
Date / site: Dec. 12, 1958 / Montreal
Result: Moore KO 11

Moore vs. Durelle might be the best example of resilience in the history of the sport. The 40-something “Old Mongoose,” defending his light heavyweight title, went down hard three times in the opening round a once more in Round 5 at the hands of his rugged Canadian challenger. It wasn’t a matter of “if” Moore would lose his title but “when.” Well, when never came. Moore somehow tapped into a deep reservoir of energy, turned the tide and put a fading Durelle down four times before referee Jack Sharkey finally counted him out 49 seconds into Round 11. Moore, an all-time great, had many special performances. None of the others could top this.

NORM FRAUENHEIM

Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns I
Date / site: Sept. 16, 1981 / Las Vegas
Result: Leonard TKO 14

From rock-and-roll to vintage cars, classic is an overused word. It’s another sales pitch. But there’s only one Leonard-Hearns I. It’s a standard, a reference point for what classic really means. It was a fight in which the welterweights switched styles. The boxer, Leonard, became the stalker. The puncher, Hearns, became the boxer. Leonard won. So did everybody who watched.

Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
Date / site: May 7, 2005 / Las Vegas
Result: Corrales TKO 10

Some fights are dramatic. Some violent. Castillo-Corrales was more. The lightweight bout was spontaneous combustion. The first nine rounds were Fight-of-the-Year worthy. Then, boom, the 10^th. Castillo knocks down Corrales. Castillo drops him again. Then Corrales lands a right and follows with a blinding succession of blows. It’s over. Corrales never won again. He died two years later, to the day, in a motorcycle accident.

Michael Carbajal vs. Humberto Gonzalez I
Date / site: March 13, 1993 / Las Vegas
Result: Carbajal KO 7

Get Favorites List Back On Desktop

They were Lords of the Flies. Still are. Two little guys came up big in a bout that led to rematches and a million dollars for each, a money milestone still unequaled for 108-pounders. Carbajal got knocked down twice, in the second round and fifth. He looked finished. He wasn’t, knocking out Gonzalez in the seventh with a right-left combo with deadly efficiency.

SEAN NAM

Mike McCallum vs. James Toney I
Date / site: Dec. 13, 1991 / Atlantic City, New Jersey
Result: SD D 12

Skill these days seems to be a byword for being cute in the ring, but as veteran McCallum and rising star Toney showed in their middleweight title bout in 1991, skill at that time meant mean business. Altogether, both fighters threw more than 1,700 punches in their highly technical, but entertaining donnybrook. There was some controversy on the scorecards – the fight was ruled a draw – but make no mistake: There were no losers.

Timothy Bradley vs. Ruslan Provodnikov
Date / site: March 16, 2013 / Carson, California
Result: Bradley UD 12

Some fights simultaneously enthrall you and make you wince. This was one of them. For a fighter who had just outboxed Manny Pacquiao (albeit controversially) and would go on to dominate Juan Manuel Marquez in his next bout, Bradley decided to go toe-to-toe against Provodnikov, a relentless pressure fighter from Siberia. Bradley, who was dangerously wobbled several times, managed to get the slight nod on the scorecards. But the damage both fighters incurred? Only they know.

Roberto Duran vs. Iran Barkley
Date / site: Feb. 24, 1989 / Atlantic City, New Jersey
Result: Duran SD 12

It was Roberto Duran’s last hurrah before his inevitable decline. And what a show he put on that blustery night against a deadly threat in Iran Barkley. It didn’t matter that Duran had been somewhat irrelevant the previous five years. Or that he was a career lightweight now trying to make his mark at middleweight. When the bell rang, Duran was in vintage form, showing all the guile and chutzpah that formed his reputation over the previous decade. It was a close affair, however. A late knockdown courtesy of three well-timed right hands helped Duran seal the fight in his favor.
