Which boxer was knocked down the most times, but then won the fight?

Joe Jeannette was down 27 times vs Sam McVey in their 1909 fight. He won in the 49th round.

 

Old school bonkers one.
Joe Jeanette was reportedly kd 27 times against Sam McVey in 1909 and still won by 50 th round ko!!

 

You just beat me to it lol

 

In a 12 - 15 round fight then it’s Archie Moore getting dropped 4x and then knocking out Yvon Durelle.

 

People got to remember back in the day going down didn't cost you two rounds so fighters were more willing to take a dive to get a few seconds to recover from a sticky situation. While today boxers do everything they possibly can to remain on their feet.

 

Indeed, old reports are pretty crappy for this kind of stuff. Still went with it though coz I like the idea that the 27 KDs are true, as it reinforces the wild west feel of that era.

I mean, if these 2 guys fought more rounds in a single fight than Moses Itauma has in 15 fights, why not have two dozen instances of Jeannette kissing the canvas without even taking it out to dinner first ?

Anyway, on a far more important matter. George's Technique Wells thread is probably gonna be updated in the near future. Gonna fanboy over Robinson vs LaMotta once he watches it as well, coz your post there kinda lit a fire on both our asses. I've already got my share of thoughts on it, having watched it in full today, but they need to be structured first.

You didn't do me the favour of giving me your thoughts on the whole "Take away or draw out your opponent's shots/actions/options" thing (I'm not mad) but George and I have talked to each other about it and developed a few core strategies/philosophies. We've delved into some of the nitty gritty stuff about distance, controlling engagements so they're on your terms, both drawing out and denying specific exchanges, moves or habits of an opponent and stuff like that.

It's gonna be baller. So if you're in the mood to watch that fight again and add anything to your original analysis which could add a new perspective, then you know what to do.

 

27 KD's was still highly irregular. Frankly 10 KD's was.

Maybe Jeanette was spamming dives every time McVea had success? Those KD's were clearly doing nothing to him.

 

Hi Guys.
Scottish middleweight John " cowboy " McCormack won the british title after being KD 10 times in eight rounds, the champ Terry Downes was disqualified for a low blow !
stay safe guys.
Mike.

 

Fights I've seen.
Rafael Ruelas was officially knocked down by Freddie Pendelton 3 times but in reality he was dropped 4 or 5 times. He had a helpful referee.

 

Not more than 4, but Wlad was down 3 times against Peter and won.

 

Not a Wlad fan but he showed heart there

 

Good info because people still quote that (maybe) erroneous stat.
