    It was on FNF some years ago and Diego Corrales was the color commentator in the studio. I'm trying and failing to remember the names in a particular fight that night....

    Anyway, it was a heavyweight fight and there was a KO by butt. No, not a headbutt - an actual butt. The guys looked about forty pounds apart and the smaller guy literally turned his back and ran around the ring. Big guy keeps throwing wide looping hooks, attempting to corral him. Big guy throws a right hook so hard that he turns himself around and off the ground as little guy turns at a corner. Big guy's ass smacks into little guy and knocks him through the ropes. Little guy lands on a judge's table, looks around, hears the ref start a count (?!), then grabs his back like he's hurt and absolutely refuses to stand up, much less get back into the ring. The ref announces it over by KO and it cuts back to studio where Chico's near tears from laughing so hard.

    For obvious reasons, I really want to track down tape of this but it's not like either fighter had names that ring out in my memory. Can anybody help me out on this?

    Yes! Thanks so much!

    Alonzo Butler v. Terry Porter... time for me to track that baby down... I'll post if YouTube gives a win.

    Oh, and I mixed two fights together as far as commentators go. It was Ricky Hatton guesting for Butler v. Porter. Chico guested for Butler v. Walton.
