    This was a fight between two undefeated but rather obscure heavyweights that has a knockout ending that has to be seen to be believed. The fight occurred February 22nd, 1990. One of the combatants would go on to face Joe Hipp, twice. Enough clues for an educated guess? Scroll down if you'd like to watch and be spoiled!

    I bet many haven't seen this one, but it really should be more well known simply on entertainment value alone. See saw action, and that knockout! Enjoy.

    Too bad USA Network got out of the boxing business. Many times they had better fights that ESPN, who specialized in "set-up" fights for awhile.

    I legitimately want at least a few dozen more people in the world to be aware of this obscure ass knockout. It's that good.

    That's good stuff! Speech was bombing away for most of the (short) fight, until Ford just sent him into dreamland with that chopping overhand, just caught him perfectly coming in with that. Beautiful KO.

    It's a beauty, I can't believe I've been a fan of this sport for so long and yet no one ever turned me onto this fight. :eek:

    Ford had Albert Davila in his corner. I think that was Marty Denkin, too.

    Yes...and I was a fan of Sean O'Grady and Al Albert's commentary.

    And for some reason, the specter of Tim Timoshek pops up in my mind....jeepers! Remember him? BTW Russell, just what is a "pathetic ancient" anyway? I wanna be one I think.

    The guy that literally came out of the stands to fight Tommy Morrison as a last second replacement? Him? :eek:

    Pathetic ancient rounds like some kind of oriental curse voodoo **** that's been lost in translation... :risas3:

    Me too. For some reason O'Grady had a habit of just saying... funny things. Strangely worded sometimes I suppose? Sometimes the things that come out of his mouth while I'm watching old fight broadcasts make me do a double take and seriously chuckle.
