    Still one of the most exciting and unexpected moments that I've witnessed in boxing. Curry was out-boxing a great and forgot his fundamentals. Keep your hands up.

    Yeah, McCallum set it up beautfully by feinting with the uppercut in order to get Curry to move backward (with his hands down) into range for the follow-up hook. No one in the crowd saw it coming, but maybe he did...because, in an interview, the Bodysnatcher said had noticed Curry moving straight back a couple of rounds earlier and was looking for the opportunity to lower the boom from that point on.
