Dempsey ko Sharkey-art of bodypunching

This fight is a perfect example of why you should protect yourself at all times. Sharkey complained to the ref of lowblows and BAM! Dempsey drops him with a left hook.

 

The art of ball-busting, and not by your wife or gf but Jack Dempsey of all people.

 

The art of low blows more like it...

 

Yes Golota modelled himself on Dempseys great body punching techiques

 

Beautiful left hook to end things though, whether Sharkey was looking or not.

 

Definitely some of the blows that were bothering Sharkey were perfectly legal.
And certainly there were some serious low blows in there too.
No sympathy for Sharkey though. He was fouling too, throwing low blows. That's how those guys liked to fight, so they cant really complain when they get it.

Dempsey showed a lot of determination in that fight but was quite unimpressive overall, he was just a washed-up fighter really, hanging on with guts and a bit of grit. He had nothing like the spark he had in his prime though, nor the speed.

 

Sharkey threw more than his share of them during his career,and it was a left hook to the chin that kod him.

 

You dont judge one fight based on what someone may or may not have done in his entire career. If a left hook KOd him then why was he crawling around on the canvas holding his groin while he was being counted out...

 

"Sharkey said I hit him when he wasn't looking,well what the hell, why aint you looking?"

 

Sounds like something Georges Carpentier would do.
But Sharkey gets the benefit of the doubt, being American of course.

 

You mustn't say that sacre bleu!

 

:rofl

 

Im not high on Sharkey either but at least he didnt try to win every major fight he was in on a foul... if they hadnt fixed it for him in advance.
