My ten favourite one punch KO's 10 Curry/McCrory 9 Nunn/Kalambay 8 Tyson/Spinks 7 Eubank/Dos Santos 6 McCallum/Curry 5 Walcott/CharlesIII 4 Tyson/Berbick 3 Jackson/Graham 2 Hearns/Duran 1 Robinson/FullmerII
Does anyone have the photo that is taken at the exact moment Robinson hits Fullmer? you can see the flash at the moment of contact
Julian jacksons punch was scary as hell.I saw that fight live on the box,was a huge graham fan back then,and he was winning easily,but damn you have to always be worried when in with a guy like jackson,he can knock you out with one bomb,like he did here. I also wonder if the rocks extra little punch when hes half down would get him in trouble today,waht do you think?
Yeah, you're not the only one who's curious about that. (Somebody at ringside could tell from Ray's footwork that it was going to be one hell of a shot.) Maybe the photographer worked for a Chicago paper. As that was the city that match was held in, they might have an on-line image of that punch. Another possibility might be to hit the library for issues of SI, Time, Life or some other weekly magazine publication which might have carried sporting news for that week in 1957. (I haven't been to my local college library in a while, but when I go there, I'll be checking for it.)
i always remember when watching that fight over how close Jackson was to being topped himself due to the humongous swelling over his eye between rounds 3-4. The doctor literally says 'ill give him one more round' and he sparks graham. I thought he had killed him at the time.
I Always though Bob Fosters near decapitation of Mike quarry was amongst the best Bobs KO of Dick Tiger was not bad either Earnie Shavers leaving Jimmy Ellis flapping around the canvas like a fish on a boatdeck is memorable Saad Muhammed's ko of Lottie Mwale was one of te best uppercuts ever And Mike Spinks KO of Marvin Johnson was hard to Fault, Reggie Johnson scored a Scary ko over Willie Guthrie in 1998 IBF lt heavy title fight I guess its all down to opinions
TBooze - Yes Indeed, It looked like Mike had been shot, out before he hit the canvas, it is intersting to speculate how much it effected Jerry by the time he climbed into the ring ?, by then he knew Mike was ok, but for quite awhile there.........
