    Worth a watch for the Sullivan fans.

    Ryan managed to put Sullivan down? How many Knockdowns were there in Sullivan vs. Kilrain? Watch and see. Some nice photos too.

    Well, I suppose if your in there for 75 rounds there’s a chance you could hit the deck.

    On Ryan putting Sullivan down:

    The second round ended when Ryan tripped Sullivan in the clinches, and they both fell with Ryan ending up on top of Sullivan, who ended up on his back.

    The fourth round ended when Sullivan forced Ryan to the ropes, and Ryan clinched pulling Sullivan down with him.

    The fifth round ended when Sullivan threw Ryan, but went down with him.

    The eighth round also ended when Sullivan threw Ryan, and got dragged down with him.

    None of this should be taken to mean that the fight was remotely competitive.

    The doc says it clearly and could be talking about a different round.

    It also has stats for knockdown, and throws in the Kilrain fight, which I have never heard before.

    Some of the pictures, are excellent. The one with Sullivan and his wife though could have been taken after his career was over, and used to show he was one weight coming into the Kilrain fight.
