Most One Sided Beatdown...

Jose Napoles vs Curtis Cokes 1
Salvador Sanchez vs Danny Lopez 1 & 2

 

Hi Mike,
Mando Ramos was a real talent. His ups and downs in and out of the ring would make a great movie.

Hopefully some of his great fights with Ruben Navarro, Raul Rojas, Frankie Crawford I+II, Arturo Pineda and full Chango Carmona.

After many years we do have a snippet of the Carmona bout. Enjoy!

Hi Fred.
Agreed, he was big part of the early 70s Californian scene, alongside, Danny Lopez, Bobby Chacon, Arturo Pineade, Irish Frankie Crawford, and lots of Mex/American boxers, and great promoters, George Parnasas, Eileen Eaton, the names bring back fond memories.
my fav was Lopez, for such a skinny fighter, he packed serious power.
stay safe buddy, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Holmes beating up Ali was not only the most one sided title fight beat down but the highest profile one sided title beat down ever. Ali won the pre fight build up, the ringwalk an the ring staredown an that was it Holmes won every minute of every round giving Ali the most brutal an most painful beating of his career

 

Salvador Sanchez vs Little Red Lopez 1 were just constant overhands to thr face of Lopez

 

Mike and @Fireman Fred , you guys beat me to it when I saw this subject matter. I was immediately thinking of Ramos-Carmona as a monumental beatdown. I thought it was ironic when you mentioned Mando leaving the ring on a stretcher. The irony being, two months later Carmona defended his title against Mando's stablemate Rodolfo Gonzalez and this time it was Chango's turn to take a hellacious beating and left the ring on the very same stretcher. With Mando and Rodolfo both managed by Jackie McCoy, one of the papers pegged it as "Jackie's revenge"

 

Mosley vs Shannon Taylor

 

He destroyed him. Lacey's missus was going nuts in the background.

 

In the first bout between Lloyd Marshall and Ezzard Charles, Marshall put a thumping on Ezz. Before stopping him in the 8th, Lloyd had Ezz down 7 times.

In the second bout between Jack (Kid) Berg and Billy Petrolle, Petrolle put on one dominating performance. Before the fight was stopped in the 5th, Billy had Jack down 10 times (9 times in the first round alone).

 

Holmes v Cobb was crazy.

 

Chavez-Haugen
Jones-Pazienza

 

Toney beat the daylights out of Barkley .. it was painful to watch ..

 

Gaby Canizales vs Richie Sandoval

The beating was so bad it ended Sandoval's career I've only seen it once and that was enough for me.

 

In Roberto's case, a thumb helped as well.

 

Are you kidding?

The media at the time almost treated it as a changing of the guard fight.

Lacey had been built up into a head to head monster by the media.

Lacey was going to smoke Calfagie, as some posters called him at the time.

Calzaghe had made a career out of milking a belt, and now the big bad destroyer was coming for him.

In the end, it was a good night at the boozer, for the British fans.

It was around the same time that Ricky Hatton was challenging for a major fight, so a lot was on the line at the British local.
