    ...someone getting up from a knockdown than Jesse James Leija rising from a 1st round KD in his TKO loss to Azumah Nelson!!!!!

    I kept rewinding and playing for about an hour last night, I absolutely could not believe Leija got up, it's mental!! He seems to completely lose control of his spine and senses after that punch lands, a textbook example of a cold, clean KO to match the bodily reactions of Herol Graham being sparked by Julian Jackson... yet he just ****ing gets up after it!

    I have heard Holmes-Shavers and several other fights mentioned a lot when it comes to most shocking rise from a KD, but surely anyone who has seen this one agrees it is the ultimate?! :bbb

    That was a pearler.

    From memory his legs just turned to spaghetti and he looked out flat on his back. But he very quickly got to one knee to regather himself.

    Help me out here..was that right at the end of the round? Like right on the bell? You reckon Azumah could have closed the show if he had a few more seconds to get at him?

    Il add two other examples I like...Duran bouncing up from a flush DeJesus left hook in their second fight.
    Imagine what would have been going through Esteban's head seeing a guy get up so uneffected by his bread and butter punch...especially considering he had Roberto wobbly from the same punch in their first encounter. Duran was not going to be denied that night.

    Another one is Urango getting up from that right hand that Bailey planted on his chin. If Randell can do one thing well its knock guys the **** out, especially with that right. Juan has one hell of a chin on him to come back from that and win.

    Yes, when Leija stood up the bell went for the end of the round.

    Yes, if the round had even another 5 seconds left, Leija would have been knocked out. One more glancing blow would've done it, his eyes and legs were somewhere else after the KD.

    Also - if you watch the fight again you will see that Leija technically was/should have been counted out. Steele stops counting at 9 and gives him another second to make it up, he doesn't make it in time as far as I can see, I've seen fights waved off many many times for the boxer not being upright and ready to go by a count of 9, and Leija is given a very generous benefit of the doubt in this instance. Strange, considering Steele waved off the Chavez-Taylor fight in similar circumstances.

    He seemed to gather himself well around 5. I don't think Steele wanted to stop a fight due to a fraction of time. It was a very slight miscount I think.

    Ward vs Gatti. It's not better, but it's certainly different. Gatti gets hit with a unbelievable body shot that just has him down and cringing. I don't know how Gatti gets up and survives the round.

    Wow! That one is on the same level, no doubt. Not sure if it tops Leija's, because Leija was hit by a harder punch, Nelson landed an absolute haymaker flush and Leija goes straight down poleaxed from it, but in that one the level of damage looked about the same.

    I've saw fights waved off a thousand times for that though, very rarely have I ever seen the ref choose to give the rising fighter an extra second or two.

    What's even crazier is this **** goes 8 rounds...and he gets up from another flatliner. Check this out.

    Check out Michael's face, he simply cannot believe it.

    "Can you believe he's getting up"

    YES. Urango for two KDs in different fights sprang to mind immediately, because they're recent. The Bailey shot but also the unbelievably jolting uppercut from Alexander. Even if he got stopped soon after, I can't think of many guys who could recover from that shot enough to convince a ref to let it go on.
