Two fighters simultaneously knocking each other down/out?

It sure has.

Wolgast Rivers for the lightweight title.

Both knocked down at the same time (as far as anybody could tell) and counted out.

 

Leeroy Murphey- Chisanda Mutti, too.

 

An ending straight from Rocky II:

Bundrage vs Powell

Bundrage vs Powell.

 

I read there was one from the old days where the ref picked up one of the fallen fighters and counted out the other. Is that the one you mean Janitor?

 

i dont remember against who it was but it happened to Hearns in one of his fights as a cruiser.

 

Love that fight.

 

At the Woldgast vs Rivers fight the ref was Woldgast's manager and he pulled Woldgast up "since he landed on top," and gave Woldgast the victory.

Here's some that I know of:

Double Knockouts

Kansas City, Mo.-Pat Kissinger and Al Dorlac bumped heads and were knocked out at the same time. Referee Harry Corbett calIed it a double knockout in the third.

Salt Lake City, Utah, February 14, 1939-Pete Giacoma and Dick Diamond hit each other for a double knockout.

New Orleans La.-March 3, 1893--George Dawson vs. Ed Greaney, both crossed rights to the chin in the 3rd round at Olympic A. C.

San Francisco, CaI.-1899-Sam Fitzpatrick vs. Paddy Meehan welterweights. At the California Athletic Club, fourth round, referee called it no contest.

April 23, 1910-At the Brooklyn Beach A. C., Young Dutch and Young Betts landed simultaneously on the jaw and both dropped to the canvas. They were carried to their corners, helpless after the referee had counted both out.

April 17 1896-At Chicago, Ed Hagne and George Skulky fought in a private battle for a $1,500 purse. In the sixteenth round each crashed a left to the jaw and went down. The referee counted both out.

Sept., 1922-At Grand Junction, Colo., Jack Bowens and Whitney Hutton connected simultaneously and went down. The referee counted both out.

Jan. 14, 1951-At Osaka, Japan, feather*weight boxers Kiyoaki Nakanishi and Noboru Miyamoto knocked each other out in the fourth round. They exchanged blows, fell to the canvas and were counted out. The referee called it a draw.

Sept. 29, 1959-When both fighters were unable to continue after the fifth round due to severe lacerations the bout between Al Milone and Eddie Woods, at Philadelphia, was stopped and ruled a double technical knockout.

April 1, 1909-At Fairmont A. C., New York City, Sailor Burke dropped Willie Lewis in first round; Lewis dropped Burke in second round and in the third, both went to the canvas on a double knockdown but the bell sounded before Billy Joh, the referee counted either out. Then in the sixth round, Burke was knocked out.

Oct., 1942-At Bridgeport, Conn. Tony Iaccavone, Stamford light heavyweight and George Thompson landed at the same time on each other's chin and both went down. Thompson got to his feet while the referee was countmg, but Iaccavone was counted out.

On Sept. 21 1965-Tony Lythgoe vs. Stan Simpson, St. George Leagues Club, Kolgarah, N.S. Wales, both boxers fell out of the ring in the second round and were counted out. Referee Mitchell called the bout a draw.

 

Yep that fight was Jay Snyder . Hearns was sort of hit but he was off balance and he got right up and Snyder stayed down.

 

Murphy was so tired he didn't celebrate when Mutti was counted out.

 

Pipino Cuevas versus Herman Montes. They both landed powershots at the same time. Cuevas hit his head on the canvas & couldn't get up. Montes looks extreemly wobbly, but was the winner.

 

Although not a double kd/ko...Price Charles Williams and Merqui Sosa were both beaten so badly that the official determined that neither was able to continue; in essence a double TKO.

Rahma's Sanders in the III round could very easily have been a double kd, since Rahman was knocked into the ropes as well.

 

and rightfully so although it did force the second match in which merqui nearly kills prince charles and prince charles left the ring afterwards on a stretcher
