    Happen in the ring?

    Specifically something you saw live that blew your mind...could be snap KO or a shocking ref's call or a no mas sort of situation.

    Has to be Tyson biting Holyfield's ear.

    The Lewis/Holyfield I decision really shocked me bad tbh.

    Already been said, but probably "The Fan Man" as #1, & "The Bite Fight" as #2.

    Well, Fan Man has got to be the weirdest, most random thing to occur in a boxing ring.

    Speaking of Bowe, this was pretty unexpected too:

    Christ, Bowe again. He was a lightning rod to chaos:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV8A7jCf4Cg[/ame]


    This might not seem like such a big deal, but I was pretty flummoxed by this when i saw it live. From Miguel Cotto's performance, to Foreman's knee giving out a bajillion times, and Mercante Jr being... Mercante Jr. It was a real wtf moment.

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flNIBHxI6vE[/ame]


    However, going by the thread title, if you want dramatic there's a ton of fights that would qualify. FOTC, for one. That's pretty dramatic, as is The Rumble In The Jungle. Gatti/Ward. Hagler/Hearns. Hagler/Minter was intense, then with the calamity at the end. I bet a lot of people were blown away to see Dempsey destroy Willard. Or Tyson vs Spinks, that's a pretty charged up moment. Nothing could be as sad as watching Ali vs Holmes.

    What they should've done was put Bowe, Tyson & Golota in a round robin tourney of utter madness. I should've been born earlier and a boxing promoter. That could see into the future.

    August 1977

    Snipers in the upper balcony of the Saensak Muangsurin vs. Mike Everett
    WBC Super Lighweight Title fight.

    The fight took place in Roi-Et, Thailand, Muangsurin's home city.

    Some crazy locals said that they would kill Mike Everett if he beat Muangsurin.

    The Thailand Government placed Royal Thai Army sharp-shooters in the upper section of
    the arena, and they had their rifles focused around the perimeter of the ring.

    The televised fight (in Thailand) showed the snipers in the arena. Later, all film-tape was destroyed.

    Mike Everett later stated, that he was sure the sniper telescopes were focused
    on him in the ring. He never tried to win the fight.
