Fight with the most "round-knockdowns"?

"(but older/longer ones are also okay)"

Jack Jones beat Patsy Tunney in Cheshire in 1825. 276 knockdowns in 276 rounds.

 

I recall Tommy Hearns dropping Dennis Andries about 6/7 times in about 9 rounds.

 

Frazier v Foreman

 

I don't have any figures offhand, but I would venture to say that some of Joe Grim's fights had a lot of rounds with knockdowns (with Mr. Grim being the one knocked down.)

 

But should we count that?? A round ended when a fighter goes down. Most fighters went down for a rest.

 

Insane! Did they live long lives?

 

I think this is the winner... didn’t jack Johnson knock knock down Joe Grimm a bunch of times ?

 

You were in Jones' corner that night and had a good view of the action, correct?

 

The British ones at least seemed to live as long as anyone else at that time, which is to say that if they were lucky and avoided the twin perils of drink and working in a factory they could live into their seventies and beyond, else they tended to die in their forties/fifties. I'm no expert but I would imagine that fighting bare-knuckled in bouts that could go on for hours, they didn't punch as hard as modern fighters and bouts ended through exhaustion rather than injury.

 

What’s the most knockdowns in one round in the modern era?

 

In the 3rd bout between Joe Jenette and Sam McVey, McVey retired at the bell for the 49th round. After 48 completed rounds, 38 knockdowns were recorded. I believe 11 by Jenette and 27 by McVey, according to The Ring. I also heard the numbers are disputed.
