Unique stoppages

Benvenuti got shafted in that fight.He deserved more than that from his corner.

 

Nino wasn't badly hurt but his corner did him a favor actually..they new what was coming..Monzon WAS going to break him...bad.

 

monzon most likely was going to win, but it did a still really good fighter a disservice imo.

This has to be one of the most unique stoppages ever, on the grounds that I've never seen another one like it. Roy Jones could do some unique things, couldn't he.

Yep. First fight that came to mind when I noticed this thread. Feather fisted Ottke utterly destroyed Mundine.

Excellent choice.

Peden was on the verge of getting stopped, and then Campbell's stupidity took over. One of a kind knockout.

 

I think the Bute-Andrade rematch deserves a shout.

Andrade had been down only once in his career before this fight, still Bute managed to drop him twice in the same fight, and he did it in two different ways, head shot and body shot.

Especially that body shot was a thing of beauty, sharp, short and powerful. Andrade didn't know what hit him and was in severe pain for quite a while afterwards.

If we are talking unique then perhaps Mutti/Murphy double knockdown should be there. So should fight between Tony Wilson and Steve McCarthy, when McCarthy was dq'd for refusing to continue after being attacked by Wilson's stiletto wielding Mum.

By that reasoning we'd be stopping fights before they begin.

That was an inexplicable stoppage.

 

That Mutti/Murphy was exactly like a hollywood script. Too bad that was not considered a big bout at the time......can you imagine an ending like that on HBO the last 2 years? Kellerman/Lampley would have it ranked as the most exciting fight for the last century and have both guys in the hall of fame for this 1 fight.

 

Well, I have come upon a revelation.

I was talking in the gym the other day and hearing some stories about fights. So one guys starts talking and saying his mate was boxing and his nose was burst and about 2 minutes later he just keeled over, knocked out cold for 30 mins. It was ecause his nose bleed blocked the oxygen in his brain.

Was Galaxy's nose bleeding?

 

What a bizzare ending. Unique it is.

Here's another one, Jimmy Thunder vs Crawford Grimsley.

KO1 with the first punch of the fight. Beat that, if you can.
