    Same here. That was a beautiful breakdown followed by a deceitful "missed" uppercut that he used to load his hips and hide the right hand that finished the deal.

    Yes and Yes. I actually picked Rigo to win, but I had no idea that he would do so in such a dominant fashion. Rigo is on another level.

    rigo. didn't really know much or care for him before the donaire fight. his demolition of donaire made me a fan though. not sure if that's because i was donaire hater though as opposed to liking him for his skills.

    This:

    and this:


    Would add:

    Watching Chris Byrd not quit in that 1st Klitschko fight gave me a greater appreciation for his skillset against the size of guys he was facing.

    Can't front either, even though I was always pretty much a fan going back to the Olympics, watching Tarver's pre fight talk then KO my boy RJJ in the 2nd fight, my respect for him went up tenfold.

    "Yeah, I got a question. Do you have any excuses tonight Roy!?"

    The way he followed that up with knocking Roy the eff out made me a fan of Tarver to this day.

    Lebedev's brutal KO of enzo.
    Dennis Lebedev fighting with a huge growth on his head against PED cheat jones for 9 rounds. Now he is one of my favourite fighters, And he also beat huck.
