That was shocking. I remember watching that. Hill hadn't looked that ferocious since the James Kinchen fight.
A classic from the old Tuesday Night Fights show was Anthony Hembrick, the undefeated Olympian, going back to Fort Bragg (where he was a two-time national amateur champion while serving in the Army), and taking on Booker T. Word for the vacant USBA Light Heavyweight Title. Hembrick famously put on a show during the ringwalk and introductions. Then got wasted in one round by the unheralded Booker T.
Why was Smith knocking out Laing such a shock? He was stopped an KOed plenty of times in his career before an after he beat Duran.
Very very shocked nobody’s mentioned Ingo-Machen. It was Machen’s first time fighting outside of Sweden ffs
Thanks! Now Im gonna have to put that video on the What Fights did You Watch./Score Today thread..Lmao! Seriously through..thanks!
Came here to say this so I will add another 1st round KO on hostile soil by a Spanish speaker over an Irish sbw Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Willie Casey.
I remember this one vividly, mostly be we tried to claim Bentt as a British world heavyweight champion!
Terry Norris blasted out John Mugabi in a round in front of a largely pro Mugabi crowd in The Beast's adopted hometown.
