    This Ibeabuchi left hook/uppercut/upperhook sounded like somebody hit Byrd with a blunt object. Complete with shockwave of spray leaving Byrd's dome upon impact, like when a bomb gets dropped in a high humidity environment. Byrd got up though, slobbing, snotting and all. Hell of a chin.

    Groves is the Ginger Nostradamus, unfortunately for him his powers of prophecy only extend to the end of round one lol

    Yeah, I was very impressed that Dorticos was able to get up from that hook, especially given the quantity of clean punches he'd eaten prior to it. I thought he was all the way out.


    There are so many potential nominations for this thread lurking in back of my mind, my recall is overwhelmed and drawing a blank. I'll have to think on it over the next 24 hours or so.

    U have got to be having a laugh?

    On to the post... Jose Ribalta getting up from Tyson's uppercut. Hell, there was several knock downs in that fight that could be used.

    And as mentioned here, Ali-Frazier & Holmes-Shavers

    How about Trevor Berbick getting up and doing the chicken dance vs Tyson?

    If it wasn't for the ref, he would have been knocked down 4 times with one punch haha. Mad

    Muhammad Ali getting up from Joe Frazier's left hook at the count of 4 as if he'd just slipped on a wet spot on the canvas.

    Larry Holmes climbing up off the canvas after taking an absolutely massive right-hand bomb from Earnie Shavers.

    Lamont Peterson getting up -- however unsteadily -- from Lucas Matthyse's counter left hook, only to be swiftly dropped again.

    These are three which spring to mind for me.

    This was the one that did spring straight to mind for me earlier, but I thought it might be too easy a shout. Great example, though. I've always been amazed by how quickly he got off the canvas after that heavy knockdown, especially considering he'd been hit with the left hook over and over prior to the 15th. The man was ridiculously tough.

    Ali recovering from Henry Cooper's left hook is as impressive as the Frazier knockdown in their first fight, in my opinion. He managed multiple miracles in his career, that's for sure.
