Fighters Getting Praised for Essentially Getting Their Ass Whooped?

Wepner scored a KD also which was super rare against Ali. Ali swept the final 6 rounds but at that moment it would have seemed like an incredible fight.

 

Where Lewis "TKO 6" and Vitali "Won the Event"

 

Vitali would of beat him. Lewis retired after he knew he was done.

 

The knockdown was bogus, Wepner was standing on his foot. Plenty were fooled tho, including the ref.

 

This ends the thread.

 

I saw a trip and im not an Ali fan

 

Woulda, shoulda … if he only coulda.

He had Lennox in the same ring with him. If he had it in him to beat Lewis, seems like that would have been the time to do it.

Maybe not letting the guy punch holes in his face would have been a start.

 

Wasn’t necessarily praised for his ability but Tex Cobb seemed to get a lot of notoriety from getting shoutout by Holmes. He was on the Tonight Show after that etc. I guess you could say he lasted the distance and took his a.. whooping like a man.

 

Wepner was a joke a punching bag, and the "knockdown" was not legit. Guy was a joke.

 

Ruddock for the Tyson matches

 

I also believe this. If his face hadnt been so cut up....

 

Billy Conn for getting knocked colder than a cucumber by Louis.

 

This doesn't seem to be a good candidate. Vitali was far from getting his a** whooped.
