Vitali being laid out by Travis Walker back in late 05. He was preparing for his much awaited face off and against Rahman, yet Vitali was forced to back out again becuse on the way down from the Walker punch, Vitali's knee gave out and not too long after that he was announcing his retirement.
Remember Tyson got dropped in sparring back in the early 90's whilst in camp for the Buster fight which as we all no he went onto lose , Hatton never got KOed in sparring before the pac fight he got stunned !
Tyson got licked in sparring by the late Greg Page by a nice counter punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIXx75_G6f4
nice, he saw what Mike was doing and made his pay for it.. double the jab and throw the right hand, beautiful.
Chavez knocked DLH down during theur sparring sessions. Chavez was 27 and DLH was 17 though. I have it on DVD
What about quitting the **** about Vitali "being laid out by Travis Walker and Raphael Butler" ? When he TRIED sparring with a bracer on his knee, having his ACL torn, the leg gave out, that's it. No super-punch from the hell's nightmare "Iron" Travis Walker, just a knee injury that would stop every other athlet from even trying to compete for half a year. Only notorious **** talkers make up a story how Walker and Butler "easily sparked him out so he pulled the story of injuring his knee and retired".
i know its only sparring but take it thats the same Travis Walker who is always labeled the bum who put Arreola down when folk talk down his chances against VK!
Howard Eastman apparently knocked Steve Collins spark out and Collins failed tests afterwards and retired. In fact, Eastman was allegedly totally feared in many gyms, due to his massive power. Shame he never really used it in any of his fights :rofl
