Strangest thing you have seen in a fight

All fine choices, but I have a better one. There was a fight in the 50's once where one fighter charged out of his corner, missed badly with a punch, and fell clean out of the ring! He was then coutned out. The winner won via KO without even thowing a punch.

 

That's nuts.

The Bowe v Tillery incident where Tillery kicked him and Newman pulled Tillery over the top rope WWE style was insane.

One of the most bizarre incident involves Jimmy Abbot, a local heavyweight who stood 6'6 and weighed around 280 lbs. or so. Big guy.

The opponent was the Zimbabwean champion, who was literally too scared to throw a punch, or even stand up. He cowered in a corner kind of like a frightened cat and refused to come out.
Abbott walks on over and as soon as he gets close, this guy darts to the opposite corner and cowers again. This goes on for about a minute with Abbott looking totally bewildered and the other guy looking petrified, when the refs stops it.
I'm not sure if they ruled it a TKO or a NC, but the "fight" was totally bizarre.

 

Battle of the Z-Boys. . . . Zarate v Zamora. :good

 

Definitely the Fanman Fight (Holyfield vs Bowe II) the single most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a title fight. Closely followed by the Bight Fight and the McCall vs Lewis rematch.

 

HM: Dempsey vs Willard (Dempsey leaving the ring after the first round thinking the fight was over, before being made to return)

 

Eddie"The Animal"Lopez?

 

The title fight Aaron Pryor had before Arguello, where he was floored and did something like a somersault and was back in his opponent's face.

 

To be honest, I can only remember Tyson ducking a right and getting his by a left uppercut against Tucker, followed by lots of clinching. The entire last round of Tyson-Smith is clear in my mind.

Aside from Lewis-Tucker, which had some really warlike rounds, Tucker's entire career was non-descript.

 

In 1999 Lou Saverese boxed Lance Whitaker in Las Vegas, Lou was thrashing Lance but in round 6 he took a knee.. The referee knelt down next to him and spoke very clearly, I think you had better get up and start acting like you want to win this fight....

Lou indeed lurched back to his feet and won a shutout.....

 

Remember when Rafael (not quite as good as his brother) Ruelas messed up his knee count against Gutierrez?

Brothers Gabe injury against Jeff Franklin was perhaps not strange, but it was certainly the worse I saw in the ring.
