    Jorge Luis gonzalez versus Bowe. Gonzalez talked so much trash before the fight but than put on a pathetic performance in the ring before being stopped in the 6th round by Bowe

    Bruno vs Tyson 2nd fight.
    Bruno seemed really confident during the build-up, saying that Tyson is rusty etc but fell apart during the ring walk. He was easily beaten after that.

    Hi Guys.
    Could be a tad nuanced, and a little obscure for the thread, but I remember Adolph Pruitt saying what he was going to do too Napoles when they met, accused Jose of avoiding him, and promised to relieve Napoles of his title inside 5 rounds, consequence being that Napoles normally a fairly slow starter, was all fired up, and gave Pruitt an unmerciful beating over two rounds, the caption in the Ring " looked like Pruitt had swallowed an hand grenade " same with Rondon and Foster, Vicente was giving it large, only to suffer the same fate.
    stay safe guys, chat soon.

    Ricardo Mayorga against Oscar de la Hoya. He relentlessly trash talked during the build up but ended up getting thrashed in the ring.
