Dirty Fighting 101: Headbutts, Low Blows, Elbows, Late Hits, Etc..

Nice to see so much Hopkins

Coulda just put a bhops highlight reel up

 

Did Bradley prepare for the Alexander fight by watching this? The Hatton-Tszyu low blow still makes me laugh & Tyson's various antics will always be entertaining. I'm a bit surprised that no older boxers feature on this vid. Marciano could probably fill a whole one by himself.

 

Hatton's low blow is the greatest dirty punch of all time.

 

Marciano.

 

I actually don't mind dirty fighting. It's been a huge part of this sport from the beginning and the real crafty fighters know how to get away with it most of the times(Sandy Saddler, Hopkins, Pedroza). You have to win any way you can just don't do steroids or tamper with your gloves. Stuff like the Marlon Starling-Molinares after the bell ko, Holyfield's headbutts, and Durans lowblow to Buchanan stick out in my mind as does Shavers/ holding the neck and uppercutting. I don't care what anyone says Luis Santana was a faker against Norris and Allen was a faker in the Hopkins-Allen 2 fight. Also, people forget that Pavlik pressed down on Martinez' neck and then hit him to get that bs knockdown. People also forget that Foreman made his fight with Young a foulfest.

 

Just watch a Eusebio Pedroza fight for 101. Fritzie Zivic for graduate level.

 

Just watch Marciano's knock outs of Walcott and Charles. Rocky nails Walcott with a left hook after Jersey Joe already was down from that helacious right.
In the second Charles fight , Rocky blatantly aims and fires a rabbit punch at the back of Ez's head.
The Rock must have commited every foul in the book against Don Cockell, including hitting him while he was down.

 

Evander Holyfield

 

Some are even considered ATG's.

 

Bernard "The Crafty Veteran" Hopkins!

 

Beautiful...but ugly.

 

According to *****s this is called "inside fighting"

 

As opposed to fighting from the outside?atsch
