Unusual results/matches involving British fighters

I kno Joey got sparked but still random lol

 

Julius Francis vs Mike Tyson

I know Francis was on a half decent run and Tyson a drinking and shagging tour..... similar to those enjoyed by the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson in days gone by, but still - an odd match to be made.

Pretty much like all of Tyson's post-jail fights barring Bruno and Lewis - Holyfield was deemed to be shot at the time :nut

 

Pretty understandable that he was deemed shot. He looked sluggish in the Moorer fight and was then stopped by Bowe. This couped with the heart defect that he had, people wanted him to retire (apparently something similar killed a basketball player who returned to play again after being advised to retire) and you can see why.

 

Laing-Duran

 

I'm still not sure how someone as limited (though obviously possessing plenty of balls) as Richard Dunn managed to get a title fight against Ali.

 

Funny how some of thse fighters won early on in their career but never went on shows how important development can be for a fighter

 

Ali was winding down his career at the time, he liked to throw to odd easy night in now and again.

 

Johnny Nelson vs Corrie Sanders.

 

im now searching through records to find some surprises

 

Fernando Vargas v Howard Clarke

Kelly Pavlik v Gary Lockett

 

I dont know if Calzaghe beating Byrd in the amateurs count i think that is pretty impressive

 

Junior Jones vs Richard Evatt for Ibo Title on undercard of Hamed-Ingle.

Evatt was actually winning up till the stoppage in the 11th round.
