The dirtiest incident

The thread on the dirtiest fight had me thinking more granular on this subject. What I'm asking is what is the dirtiest, intentional, single incident in the following categories you have seen or read about:

1) Headbutts

2) Rabbit punch

3) Low blow

4) Elbow/Shoulder

5) Thumb/Heel/Lace

6) Bite

7) Hitting on the break/after the bell

8) Corner

9) Official

10) Post-fight winner

11) Audience

12) Hitting a man when down

Give it a go

 

These are great. Keep them coming, guys.

 

OK, here's mine on the subject:

1) Headbutts - Donald Curry v Tony Montgomery - Montgomery was coming close to losing by KO when in the 5th round he decided to take the easy way out. He rammed his head into Curry's and was docked a point. Then he did it again and was docked another point. At this point I doubt anyone in the arena did not know what was coming. Montgomery immediately rammed his head once more into Curry's and got himself DQ'd rather than go out like a man. Curry was so PO'd he walked over to Montgomery gingerly and clocked him. I saw no problem with that.

2) Rabbit punch - The first round of Floyd Patterson v Charley 'Devil' Green when Green, in a rabbit punch frenzy, dropped Patterson with a 'Tomahawk chop' to the back of the head. Just got a warning, not even a deduction.

3) Low blow - Jose Napoles v Armando Muniz I - with his title slipping away, Napoles was allowed to low-blow Muniz' nads in the 11th round like they had a target on them, while the ref looked the other way.

4) Elbow/shoulder - 14th round of Pedroza v LaPorte. During a flurry, Pedroza expertly threw an elbow to the jaw into the mix but it didn't go unnoticed an the ref deducted a point.

5) Thumb/heel/lace - gotta admit to not having seen this one, but had read about it in a great old article from World Boxing many years ago. It was the first fight between Fritzie Zivic and Bummy Davis and the story goes that Zivic was very subtlely plying his thumb in the eyes of Davis until Davis exploded and went into a foul blow frenzy, getting himself DQ'd. Zivic had to be chuckling over that one.

6) Bite - hands down the second fight between Tyson and Holyfield

7) Hitting on the break/at the bell - Calvin Grove v Lester Ellis II - Round 3 Grove decked Ellis and the ref gave Ellis all kinds of time to get up and recover and then the bell rang. When Grove turned to return to his corner, Ellis ran across the ring and rabbit-punched Grove. No point deduction.

8) Corner - hands down Panama Lewis in the Collins-Resto bout

9) Officials - Juan Coggi v Eder Gonzalez I - Referee and timekeeper colluding to preserve Coggi's title and robbing Gonzalez

10) Post-fight winner - I liked @Thread Stealer mentioning the James Butler incident and I should have expanded this category to include poor losers as well. But as far as poor winners go I always think of teddy Reid stopping Emiliano Valdez in the 10th round of a tough fight and with Valdez out cold Reid stands over him like he doesn't even notice him at his feet while talking smack with his ringside homies. It was disgraceful. I should also add that Valdez died.

11) Audience - Man, there are a lot of audience generated infractions over the years. I thought of the bottle-throwing from Hagler-Minter, the parking lot turning over cars from Rose-Castillo, the seat-cushion burning from the first Frankie Duarte-Famosito Gomez bout, but the one that really disgusted me was the second Romeo Anaya v Enrique Pinder bout. When Anaya KO'd Pinder in the 3rd, his crazed fans flooded the ring and were actually standing on Pinder who was still sprawled on the canvas

12) Hitting when down - @USFBulls727 had a great one there and reminded me of one I saw as a youth. It was a 10-rounder between a local up and coming middleweight named Rocky DiFazio and a clubfighter named Jimmy Carter. Carter must've been keyed up because he got the better of DiFazio in that first minute or so and decked the favorite. But it didn't end there, Carter actually got down on the canvas and started pummeling DiFazio until he was pulled off. They were going to DQ Carter but DiFazio good-naturedly waived it and said he was OK to continue. But the crowd was riled from his antics and someone threw in a chair into the ring, hitting Carter in the neck. So the DQ somehow stood. I recall Carter in the WBBM newsroom the next day talking to Brent Musburger saying that since DiFazio waived the DQ, that he must've been DQ'd for getting hit with the chair. Quite amusing at the time.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. If you have anymore standout incidents, I'd love to hear them
