Seeing Zerafa shatter Jeff Horn’s glass jaw was beautiful also seeing Horn’s brother getting his glass jaw shattered was also quality entertainment.
One of the sweetest ever was brutal destruction of James Kirkland by Nobuhiro Ishida. Ishida was a cherry-picked unknown fighter with feather fists (only 6 KOs in 30 fights) who was meant to be an easy and early work for hyped Kirkland. Instead, Kirkland went down hard from the 1st Ishida's jab early in the opening round. Down again from the same punch, got up only to get stratched by Ishida's straight right hand.

Crazy that Grimsley went the distance with and held his own against Foreman. Couldn't even last a few seconds against a c rate fighter. Thunder could bang and had personality but he wasn't very good. That must have been shocking for fans to see at the time.
This was insane! Imagine Kirkland still tried to complain about the decision lol. Ishida's height seemed a problem here for Kirkland.
while i liked tommy morrison, after he ran into mercer, his jaw had the strength of a glass christmas tree ornament!
I watched that fight live and while it was certainly a shocker that Thunder KOd him with the first punch he threw , it was not a shock that he KOd him. In fact, Thunder was probably the favorite. Nobody really rated Grimsley off of the Foreman fight, which said far more about how washed up Big George was than anything about Grimsley. Trust me, Thunder was a level above that clubfighter.
