    From a shot that didn't look very hard stopping a fighter, a fighter reacting strangely after being knocked down due to having absolutely no legs, etc.

    Iron chinned Jonny Tapia going against Sandro Marcos from a few years ago.

    Part of Tapia's half hearted comeback at the age of 38. Marcos could bang pretty well, he catches Tapia with a left hook, and then nails him in the body with another...

    Delayed reaction, but Tapia does go down onto his knees. He's then bitching at the ref pointing to his mouth/teeth? Yelling at him for something.

    I have no idea what happened, honestly. Weird as hell considering how good Tapia's chin is.

    Freddie Norwood vs. Johnnie Edwards towards the end of Norwood's career is weird as well.

    He gets hit on the temple area, and then Edward's elbow also scrapes against the area of Norwood's head.

    Norwood goes down like he's been shot. Shot didn't even look very hard, but with the elbow who knows.

    Tyson vs Berbick

    Tyson was unloading the ****ing kitchen on Berbicks head with near full leverage and had him all over the place. But the finishing hook..it didn't look THAT hard yet Berbick couldn't maintain his balance.

    Oliver McCall's KO of Henry Akinwande. The punch didn't look all that devastating, yet Akinwande went down as though he'd be hit by a brick.

    Mike Tyson vs Bruce Seldon. I don't care what anyone says, that was a strange fight. The only thing that i wondering is if Seldon took a dive(as he was one of Don King's fighters) or he was really that scared of Tyson, which is odd considering he has fought much tougher opponents and hard punchers. He had the tools and ability to make it a better fight. All i know is that the punch definitely didn't land.

    Akiwande has gassing at that time from what I remember. Oliver was pressuring him the entire fight and a 6'7 250 plus pound guy isn't going to have 12 round stamina.

    The left hook Roberto Duran knocked out Ray Lampkin with didn't look that special, but Lampkin just collapsed on impact. I believe he was carried out on a stretcher (more the whole fight rather than the left hook itself though).
