    Garcia was getting his ass handed to him by Khan.... lands a desperate left hook that changed the fight.

    Mathysse got cut. changed the fight.

    It's gotta be Ishida-Kirkland for me.

    Even though Gonzalez-Mares was shocking, Gonzo's left hook has a pedigree of knocking good fighters the fudge out.

    Ishida's career suggested he was a featherfisted (less than 25% knockout rate going in to the fight- 7/30) journeyman brought in simply to showcase Kirkland, who was unbeaten and looking like a monster at the time. Ishida icing him at all was predicted by absolutely nobody. Doing it in one round is something even the trolls wouldn't have joked about.

    I don't like the word fluke because that cheapens the accomplishment somewhat, but man, I didn't see that one coming.

    Of course there's a difference- the difference is in how much credit the winning party gets for their part of it. "Fluke" in boxing is nothing but a way to minimize the credit someone gets for pulling off something highly unlikely. That's why I don't like the term.

    They are trolls, likely a few different accounts from the same person. It's best not to try to explain things/reply to them.
