    Just to get back to the topic for a sec, I'd say this is one of the easiest bouts to call I've seen in a long time. Lewis, early and brutally.

    Yes, it was called a puncher's chance.

    That depends on the circumstances - ie: who he fought, how the KOs came by (cuts, accumulation, fixes, etc.).

    The evidence is in his mob connected management, his handler and trainers admissions and his in the ring performance. Putting aside the second Sharkey bout, has anyone ever seen Carnera knock a man down ? Please don't tell me poor Earnie.

    This seemed like a knockdown in my eyes although it's tough to say from that camera angle:
