Lopez being outboxed neatly by Brian Mitchell in Sacramento. In turn Joey Gamache being knocked out by Tony Lopez in Maine.
No, it isn't. Kelley was well past his best. Not only was he stopped by Alejandro Gonzalez before Hamed, but he drew with Clarence Bones, was dropped by Tommy Parks and was dropped and almost stopped by 12-2-1 mediocrity Ricardo Rivera, who had been stopped himself by 2 mediocrities in 2 of the 3 fights just before fighting Kevin. All of those fights happened before the Hamed fight. Kev was ripe to be ko'd again by the time Hamed and he fought.
Tyrone Everett losing a crazy decision to Alfredo Escalera in Philly because the hometown judge voted for Escalera.
Good question. Brook vs spence recently was a massive one. Brook was fighting at brammel Lane football stadium. I’m struggling to think of anymore.
Marvin Johnson's 1st defense after beating Parlov against Saad Muhammad in Indy. I was there, 10th row ringside. Why Marvin didn't take a couple of paydays prior to fighting Saad is still beyond my reasoning?? Sidebar: Their first fight in Philly is one for the ages! I don't think I've ever seen a fight so impossible to judge for the first 8-9 rounds. Both on the attack, both landing brutal blows throughout. My goodness, outside of a round or two I might have scored every round even to that point. I'm going to watch it again this afternoon.
Here's an obscure one for you. Engels Pedroza fought regularly at the Forum in LA, lived in LA. Not only did he lose to Wilberforce Kiggundu, it was a horrible decision. The house fighter got robbed. It was also the last fight Kiggundu won. He went 0-9-1 in his last ten.
