AJ Ruiz was hilarious but ruined by the fact Ruiz is almost as unbearable and hypocritical as AJ, and a repulsive degenerate of the highest order. Fury Wilder 2 was pretty funny since everyone thought Fury was getting KO'd and Wilder was calling him a pillow fist. Problem is, it wasn't a proper KO since Sugar Hill hadn't quite perfected Fury's KO power yet. The actual stoppage was underwhelming.
A lot of people underestimated Martinez before this fight, and most expected another war. You can hear the befuddlement in the commentators voices, as this was not the result they could even imagine being possible. This content is protected
And while Martinez had surprisingly good power for a small mw he was definitely not known as a one punch guy this definitely was a shock but a welcome one.
Yup, it really is what made it so satisfying for me. Martinez was the underdog against Pavlik and in the Williams rematch, but after this KO he was always the favorite in all of his fights. He cemented his claim to the middleweight throne, and earned everyone's respect.
This was the most satisfying KO I've seen this year, after all the whining from old Fish Eyes about a low blow that was a low blow, and the illegal head butts by Dubois against Hrgovic which the Queensberry referee allowed: This content is protected
Very satisfying............. Original question: Allan Green melting Jaidon Condrington in like 10 seconds.................The Chin checkers were flying far too high Icarus style without having proven anything.................the audacity that they were carrying was nuts...........then the way Codrington's crew thew a hissy fit while cradling his limp body (no homo). Priceless.
Great mention. That was the win that finally confirmed Martinez as an elite fighter. Even crazier was that he was already 35 at an age that's usually seen as past prime but he still managed to have a good title run for another 3 years. Just a shame that it took him this long to be recognized as a top fighter. Could have been a major super star 10 years prior given his looks and exciting style but at least he still had a good career.
I always found Inoue's victory and stoppage over Fulton to be satisfying to watch. Not only was it a great performance for a fighter moving up a weight class to fight the best fighter from that weight but it also removed any doubt on Inoue's boxing skills when people were still under the impression that he only had power to back him up. Also silenced the people that kept saying that he never faced a young undefeated American fighter and ended up making it look easy.
Honestly I was mind blown that people thought that fight was going to go any other way, with many even picking Fulton… Hate to be that guy, but this is definitely one of those fights for me.
Azumah Nelson separating Jeff Fenech from his senses in his country in Australia was particularly satisfying as was Shane Mosley knocking Antonio Margarito the cheat spark out was also particularly satisfying. Tank beating the living crap out of Ryan Garcia, dropping him heavily then making him quit was great as well.
