I was rewatching Tyson v. Douglas again, its still shocking just how much and how easily Douglas completely dismantled Tyson outside of a knockdown and 9 second intermission, this was an ass whooping from round one. Same with Ali v. Liston 1, Sonny just had nothing for Muhammad, different levels, different speed. One sided upsets are such a unique phenomenon, give some more examples.
Jimmy Carter-Ike Williams Jimmy Carter-Lauro Salas I Jimmy Carter-Paddy DeMarco I Jimmy Carter-Bud Smith I+II Jimmy Carter-Johnny Cunningham II (full time rubbish collector with 31 losses in 50 fights beats reigning world champ in non-title fight)
There is an asterisk accompanying several of Carter's fights,the suspicion is he fought with the cuffs on in some of these bouts.
Duran was a 5-2 underdog against Moore. He pretty much beat the brakes off of him from the opening bell.
Epic failure from the NYSAC that night. First on not noticing Resto’s gloves, then the ref letting Duran beat the **** out of Moore and not stopping it.
Hi Buddy. Very good call, Lopez, despite his getting knocked down numerous times in title defenses, was still a fairly big fav over the the unfancied Mexican, but Sanchez put on a master class of box/fighting to punch the brave Lopez to virtual standstill, in some ways Danny reminded me off a FW version of Saad, without doubt the most exciting fighters of their time, with Bad Bennie making third place. stay safe TN, chat soon. Mike.
