    Easy! 1989, Anderson Indiana, Robinson Elementary Playground...at recess. Roderick "Dirty Red" Woods was the betting favorite over Don "what the **** is goin on how did this fight happen" Harrison. Dirty Red was at least 5ft 8 in the fourth grade...2 grades behind. He also had that Arkansas swagger and country drawl in his speech which made him more intimidating...picture Sonny liston at recess...ok. Don was roughly 4 ft 6, but a scrapper. The fight started off with a couple of insults, then they were at it. Dirty Red went for his signature, "grab a mutha****a and choke him" move. Swiftly, Don side stepped with Owen Hart(Rip) agility, and quickly ran towards the teacher on recess duty. He stood there until recess was over, thus winning. No, he didn't ko Dirty Red, but he did live to tell the story. Dirty Red meanwhile is in prison...for the rest of his life on unrelating charges! Haha

    Dempsey/Willard has to be the epitome of a little guy beating a bigger guy and one of the most murderous beatings inn the history of the sport. Duran vs barkley was also pretty insane.

    Fun to watch...

    A few days prior to Ruiz v Johnson i was in the Mandalay Bay bar with Team Ruiz just hanging out before headding out to eat dinner somewhere.. The Tv screen was on and a live fight started ... It got everyones attention.. It was a 215 pound Davarryll Williamson against a 320 lb Corey Sanders.. Sanders dropped Davaryll early but TOS got his **** together and unbelievably broke Sanders down before finishing him off exhaustedly dropping him heavily on his back for a clean KO.. Absolutely amazing to see such a size differencial in a prize ring...
