WAS IT A 1-2 YES OR NOT? YES.. PERIOD... 100% IRRELEVANT, they did not have the style of tyson , plus 92 holmes was better than 88 holmes, 88 holmes was rusty, he did nothing since 1986 , he was mentally weak, in 1992, holmes was older, but he was more active, more trained, mentally stronger.
If you want to be pedantic so was the Shavers punch... Right. So Holmes became unshot after he lost to Tyson? Must be the only fighter in history to have done that then. What a legend.
no, shavers knocked him down with a single right hand, if you watch it close, he did not land the jab . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubjVcmsUpxQ
So are you saying the tapping, barely connecting jab had a significant impact on the damage caused to Holmes's brain, thus lessening the quality of the right hand? Or are you just being a pedant?
Yes, you are as a matter of fact. As would I be if I persisted in claiming that Shavers also threw a one two to knock Holmes down. (The fact that he didn't land the jab before clocking Holmes with the right should be of no consequence in this particularly nitpicking case.)
Has no one mentioned Jersey Joe Walcott yet his ko over Charles is one of the best ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0hZKnQ07IE
yes in this alternative camera we can see that holmes Blocked the jab, BUT STILL IT WAS A 1-2 COMBO RIGHT?!!, NA YOU RIGHT HERE, BUT STILL I HAVE THE ARGUMENT , "THIS ONE WAS A SHOT LARRY" :smoke
Who magically became unshot when he beat Ray Mercer and took McCall to the brink several years later.
