    Kennedy McKinney against Welcome Ncita.

    He straight up turned his back like he was quitting, then came back to win later in the round.

    One of the best rounds ever.

    YESS!! Literally my favorite fight ever. Everything, from the strategic spitting of the mouthpiece to that epic come from behind KO all in one round. I swear I remember hearing Corrales' trainer specifically telling him something along the lines of "if you need more time, spit out your mouthpiece" somewhere around the 5th or so... or maybe I am making things up

    Moorer-Cooper. In the 3rd round while Cooper start unloading on Moorer on the ropes, Moorer dropped to a couple of knees and got his wits about him.

    Brewster Wlad 1

    Yes Brewster was caught but he took a knee prior to Wlads follow up

    I wish guys like Gomez vs Canelo or Manfredo in his 2 title fights or Litzau vs Broner would take knees

    i know most guys dont wanna give up the 10-8 round or have too much pride

    but seriously whats better pride and a loss or a knee and a possible win
