Yea was gonna say that one. It was probably the saddest KO I've seen live. But Marciano-Louis might rank up there with one of the all time most heartbreaking KOs.
I know JT gets no love, and is sort of universally hated, but I felt horrible for him all slumped in the corner. And then his graciousness and heartbroken interview after added to it. I liked them both a lot and that fight was torture for me. Some reason the second one wasn't nearly as bad, build up or anything else.
Yup I agree, I don't know why all the hate for Taylor. He's a good guy. Okay he came up short a few times but he's not taken an easy fight since beating Hopkins.
To me Tyson KO over young Frazier looked sad, cause it was supposed to be an equal fight, Frazier looked motivated and ready to rumble but was smashed with a right uppercut and didn't respond for a while in round 1.
I agree on this one. Everybody knew that he would be in deep trouble and I almost just waited for it to happen. Something about Tyson in general that makes me sad. I mean he didnt have the easiest life, at all.
Hatton stumbling down for the 2nd time with Graham throwing the towel in was hard to watch. Just couldn't get my head around Hatton being KO'd by anyone, was such a shitty way for him to lose, the worst I'd prepared myself for was a UD loss.
Yea he said somthing like: "I think the ref went a little to far..... he could'a been killed right there."
He shouldn't have been smashing Morrison's unconsious head when only the ropes were holding his body up instead of blaming the ref..
Agreed, I remember it was the big talk of my highschool, I think the fight was June 8th maybe? The hype for that fight was ridiculous, at that time I probably would of payed 150 to 200 bucs just to see that fight, I remember not being able to sleep the night before the fight, I probably never wished for somebody other than myself, that much before. That was the most pumped up I ever got for fight, I dont think I will ever feel as strongly about another fight ever again. Though a Peter/Wlad fight might come close to that.
