Unique stoppages

Galaxy was weight drained IMO. Supposedly he retired afterwards 'for the safety of his health'. He looks ****ed beforehand.

He also has proven toughness. Can't see any serious shots, going in. It's very weird though, and a constant aggravator to a Khaokor fan like myself.

I couldn't even find anything out in Thailand. Despite every Thai chap I met getting a barrage of Khaokor-related questions. None of them even knew who he was.

 

Surprised that this hasn't come up yet considering there was recently some talk about it.

Griffith, never known as a KO artist, batters ultra-durable Gaspar Ortega:

Man, Griffith looked a destroyer there.

Without doubt the most unique stoppage is the Merqui Sosa vs Prince Charles Williams fight. Stopped in the 7th and declared a draw. The fight was stopped due to it being too brutal for both fighters to continue

 

Tony Gallento knocked the iron jawed Al Ettore clean out of the ring twice in the same round.

Why could they not have filmed that?

 

Ketchel's stoppage over Papke. Especially unique because reports I've read imply that Ketchel was actually carrying Papke, delaying the stoppage to further punish him. Langford's KO's over Wills. Wish we has film of those. Possibly the best KO wins in history considering the circumstances. Billy Miske was the only man to stop Jack Renault in his prime, Renault went through the ropes and couldn't get back in the ring in time. More recently, one I was just reminded of is Shane Mosley's KO of Wilfredo Rivera. As far as I know it was the only time Rivera was cleanly KO'd for the count. Strange punch that did it, a glancing left uppercut. Didn't look like it should have had that much effect.

 

two Duane Thomas fights (can't find a vid of either)..when Thomas kp'ed John Mugabe and when he was ko'ed by Gian Franco Rosi.

this is simply great, the way Williams uses his footwork to KO the great cintron

 

How the **** can no one have mentioned Ottke v Mundine?

 

my favorite is the Roy Jones Glen Kelly ko and Roy Jones Hill fight

Bloody hilarious. Thought Joe had been DQ'd for playing pat-a-cake.

Holyfield broke one of Mercer's ribs with a body shot, that's why he chose to take a knee.

Against Briggs, Mercer did his late career patented "**** it" maneuver. He was trying to get Briggs DQ'ed for rabbit punching, which was actually happening. Mercer flopped down dramatically and played it up however.
