    Benn punched himself out against Eubank he was exhausted.
    He wasn’t out cold against McClellan.

    Benn was sagging helpless on the ropes, he was completely lifeless, then the ref pulled G-man away for no reason.

    The ropes held Vitali up against Troy Roberts. Otherwise a knockdown. What you you think?

    No Vitali wasn't knocked out , he was knocked down. He got up and took away a stopping victory

    I had never seen that before. Looks like a legitimate knockdown to me.

    It was a knockdown but he wasn`t that hurt, put him on the back foot though and made him look shoddy indeed.

    This thread had gone too long without a mention of Hector Camacho.

    True, but do you remember that right hand that Camacho caught from Edwin Rosario on June 13 1986, in Madison Square Garden, he was never quite the same ever again. The crowd booed the verdict. He ran rather than mixing it up like he did before, gun shy.

    Most people weren’t able to take the flush right hand of Rosario. Camacho did. I don’t think his style altered as drastically as people think — for the rest of that fight, sure, but he was always fleet afoot, in and out. And you look at how many punchers he fought and he took some real beatings but finished on his feet.

    Very true my friend, but did you catch his next fight against Cornelious Boza Edwards, sure he decked Edwards, but Boxa complained after the fight that all he did was run. He never gave Rosario a return match. Rosario kayoed Livingston Bramble in his next fight rather early.

    I think you need to find a hobby Mark Ant.

    No substance to your posts and mostly pointless.
