    I wasn't even born when that first one happened and it still upsets me.

    Amado Ursua knocking out Hilario Zapata in two rounds.

    After the ten-count, one of the Panamanian commentators said, "The painful part of all this is that he has lost to a man who doesn't know much, and the only thing he has is a strong right hand and a strong left hand." Someone in the comments on YouTube naturally laughed at this, as if a powerful punch is an insignificant or trifling quality for a professional boxer to possess.

    And Maidana was nearly an example...but not quite.
