Remember watching this one live. I believe Smoger was the ref? Anyway, that was a case of death by a thousand lashes. Paulie's jab simply could not miss and Senchenko's face not surprisingly went to pieces.
''The Phantom'' ie Ottke wasn't a featherfist he could actually punch extremely hard when he wanted to. His trainer Ulli Wegner ranked him the hardest puncher he trained and Wegner trained big punchers like Abraham, Frenkel, Huck, and Helenius. BEST PUNCHER Ottke: You might laugh about my next statement but the truth is that Sven Ottke was the hardest puncher. The problem was that due to his style and his ring intelligence, he couldn’t or didn’t want to open up to showcase it. You could see it once, when he had to go for broke versus (Anthony) Mundine. Otherwise, Arthur Abraham has one hell of a punch.
Blast from the past... Lightning Lonnie Smith knocking out the undefeated champ Billy Costello. Smith had around 8 stoppage wins in 23 fights against complete **** competition and was expected to be destroyed by Billy... Instead it seemed every time Smith hit him he hurt him!!! Knocked him down 4 or 5 times... Smith lost the title in his first defence...
