    Most recently, 130lb contender Tevin Farmer tore one of his biceps and fought most of the fight with one hand. Beat some journeyman level opponent in a stay busy fight.

    Joe Calzaghe vs Evans Ashira he fought most of the fight with a broken left hand, and only used the right hand for the rest of the fight.

    Oh man, imagine getting KO'd by a one armed man, how do you ever live that one down?

    Wife: Hey honey, how d'ya get on tonight?
    Boxer: Ah, I lost :(
    Wife: Oh, I'm sorry babe. You'll get him next time. All I know is he must have been at 100%, no, 500%, no, 5000% to have beaten you.
    Boxer: Erm, yeah, that must have been it *looks sheepishly away*

    Williams against Potter - sensational finish. I echo Jim Watt's comments about that fight. Williams had bags of heart.

    And Clinchko still couldn't come close to putting him away.

    Actually Bellew did a better job on Haye than Grabimir did. ATG?? :confundio::cbiggrin::drive:
