    As in the victim was able to successfully resume their career or at least a healthy life without any apparent long-term adverse effects - ie excluding any tragic endings.

    Whitaker-Hurtado is the inspiration for this. 11th round. A dozen overhand lefts thrown with power, landing flush. Insane.

    Wilson-Nwodo.

    Emanuel's actually still fighting - scored a 1st round TKO last night. :good

    I'm not sold on this selection. Like lots of guys that lose to a specific style, sharp management will prevent their guy from taking on that particular style in subsequent bouts. It's not like they've been sticking Ruiz in against the divisions big hitters since the Tuaman fiasco & they didn't exactly go out of their way trying to secure a rematch and get some revenge.

    Morrison-Mercer
    Jackson-Norris

    Both managed to get up from brutal, brutal knockdowns although neither were in any condition to continue fighting at that point.

    When I say Gen Johnson knock out Roy Jones I was genuinely afraid that he might have been killed.

    Although it was the begining of the end for Jones he did go on to achieve redemption of sorts by dropping Calzaghe then beating Jeff Lacey.

    Well, Norris isn't okay today so he got damaged somewhere along the way.
