    Good topic.

    What about Bojado against Leija? The old fella didn't read the script and schooled him.

    Fury Mcdermott II

    He 'lost' the first fight and was struggling in the second.

    It would have been easy for Tyson to fold that night but he didn't, got the win and showed loads.

    Started to cry in the interview after cus he realised what he'd come though.

    :good

    BOTH fights with McDermott are great examples for different reasons. The first fight was a huge gutcheck for Tyson. The second was expected to be because of the first like you said.

    Andre Berto - Luis Collazo

    After 23 straight-forward fights on his HBO hype train, Berto stepped up against an experienced, legitimate welterweight contender and went life and death in a FOTY candidate. Many felt he was lucky to win the fight, hes still a knockout waiting to happen and will soon be exposed, but he definitely showed an abundance of heart that night. Tragic that there hasn't been a rematch.

    Good Shout Johna..Very Good Actually. I don't think Berto's learned a thing from that fight though, not a fan of the lad....seems a flat track bully imo.

    Someone mentioned Mitchell-Johanneson. Good shout, Brutal war and there was times when i thought Kevin was gonna lose that. Personally believe if Carl didn't waste the early rounds getting battered around he'd of done Kevin that night. The accumulation of the early punishment took it's toll on him late on.

    Yep i'd say so and you know what...it's changed Haye's career but also in defeat he didn't get knocked out like people say. He knows he kept fighting and went out on shield. People can questions Haye's chin but he's got heart in there..he doesn't go down without a fight and this certainly woke him up to the reality of professional boxing.

    Good Example.

    Watson-Benn?

    Benn was knocking everyone out until he came up against Watson.

    It was a reality check that's for sure, he supposedly spent a day doing his hair in build up to the bout. He wasn't serious at all and Watson wasn't a soft touch like he thought he'd be. It was a gutcheck that actually made Benn the man he was after. The McClellan fight he wouldn't quit because he knew he gave up to easy against Watson.
