    I'm talking about when both guys land and both go down simultaneously from the same exchange.

    I know this is rare, but it's happened.

    I'm looking for examples, and in particular I remember it happening in a fight in the late 1970s or early 80s that was televised on a weekend afternoon, on ABC or CBS or maybe NBC (I'm thinking CBS for some reason).

    Anyone remember this one, or any other occurances?

    I believe you're thinking of the cruiserweight title fight between Lee Roy Murphy and Chisanda Mutti

    That is probably the most famous.


    You also have the infamous Mexican Joe Rivers/Ad Wolgast match up.

    Sanders / Rahman. Rahman caught the ropes to stop himself going down though.

    Did this ever happen with Alexis Arguello (like earlier in his championship career, below lightweight), or am I misremembering?
