    What are some bizarre, out of the ordinary things that have happened in boxing matches? I mean apart from the usual action, punches, ko's etc.

    Offhand, I can think of a few:
    1. Ali-Quarry 2 when Jerry picked up Ali and made like a pro wrestler when he picked him up and carried him across the ring.
    2. Zarate-Zamora when a drunk jumped in the ring and the fight was halted several minutes until he was hauled off.
    3. Holyfield-Tyson when Tyson tried to bite a chunk out of Holyfield's ear.
    Any others?

    "Fan man" has been mentioned many times, but whenever the bizarre topic of "fan man" is mentioned it deserves to be in the thread :)

    Tony Wilson´s mother hitting Steve McCarthey over the head with her stiletto shoe atfer McCarthey knocked down her son and on the verge of stopping him.

    Even more bizarrely was that Wilson got the stoppage victory because McCarthey, bleeding from a head wound, rightly refused to carry on!

    McCall having a nervous breakdown in the Lewis rematch immediately comes to mind

    The 90s heavyweight division was wild as hell.

    Tyson-Holyfield 2 was one of only 3 biting incidents I can think of. Also Hide-Bentt and Golota-Pouha

    I will add Riddick Bowe Vs. Andrew Golota 2, and then conclude that Bowe is involved in a lot of bizarre moments through his own fault, or not.

    Margarito damn near ripping the ear off of Sebastion Lujans head entirely. Never seen that kind of injury in boxing before from "Punches".

    Golota beating Bowe to only have a freakout in the ring and throw it all away by resorting to low blows to get disqualified. Also his quit job against Tyson as well.

    and do not forget his quit job against michael grant when he was very comfortably ahead with 2 knock downs in the first round. golota got knocked down in the last round, got up, looked at the ref, "i quit." he could have been a champion if it were not for his mental problems.
