    LOL a 4 round fight is your choice?


    Any fight under 10 rounds shouldnt qualify........


    The best I have seen were late dramatic knockouts needed to win a championship fight with seconds left..........LIKE lamotta-daurathille

    YOU'RE the one who laments constantly on Wladimir being one of the best offensive heavyweights in history when he decides to unload. And unload he did against Lamon.

    Besides the Mercer fight Wladimir has never unloaded on a fighter like he did Brewster. Brewster's career was more or less ended in those four rounds.

    So yes, that is a comeback for the ages.

    Bazooka Limon had a ton of them. With that defense and those wide wide lopping punches from his kneecaps and rearend, he was simply going to be behind in a lot of fights. That Choi fight is a good example and even Bethalmy and Navarette as well. Not too many guys can take a hammering round after round and grit their teeth and come out with the W.

    Arnold Taylor (vs romeo anaya) spring immediately to mind, down 4 times, badly cut, produces the big one in round 14.

    Good call, Limon was a fun guy to watch and indeed had a lot of come from behind wins. Speaking of Choi he was way ahead in his fight against Navarette when the Filipino got him out of there in the 11th while being far behind on the cards, great fight that was. Its a real shame Choi had such a terrible chin though as he was a very good fighter with a huge right hand and good boxing skills, I wish I had more footage of him as I liked his style.

    Me too. I think I have 4 Choi fights and offensively the guys is like a 9.25

    When he threw punches they were quick, accurate, and straight as an arrow. But it was like the guy just held his hands up for a defense and didn't roll or parry or anything defensively. Weird. So if a punch gets by his gloves, he was wide open and got hit clean. And he certainly couldn't absorb much but even at that, he'd absorb good for awhile and then the building would just collapse on the guy and the fight'd be over. It wasn't as if anything landed on Choi any different than in previous rounds but they just had a huge effect all of a sudden. Very strange and I just could never see the collapse coming with the guy and usually it appeared as tho his offense was causing the opponent to cave in and they were the one's looking vulnerable and ready to go. That Navarette is a good example of this and it's all Choi and if it's a football game the score is like 27-10. And Rolando is the guy just hanging in there and looks vulnerable. Then he lands--and not spectacular or anything different--& Choi goes.

    But that Choi offense must've scared a lot of managers and he was a very dangerous guy to sign a contract to fight.
