This is the amateur fight between David Haye, the current WBA Heavyweight Champion and Troy Ross. It took place on May 25th, 1999 in the light heavyweight division. Who do you think won this fight? As seems to be the career of Troy Ross, he always has been shafted in decisions. Most recently, when he boxed Steve Cunningham for the IBF Cruiserweight Title. Ross knocked Cunningham down, was clearly winning the fight after 4 rounds and then received a thumb to the eye, stopping the fight. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3it9Z5X-5o[/ame]
1999 That makes Haye 18 and Ross 24! Full credit to Haye here then being 6 years the junior and obviously not having developed his man strength by then..Very impressive considering
Troy Ross easily won this fight. How, you can say that Haye was coming on at the end, you must be delusional! Haye is a great Champ now and Ross should be Champ right now too, recently getting ripped off in another bad decision against Steve Cunningham. The IBF should have automatically requested a rematch, but they let the decision stand as wrong as it was! Ross is a very exciting fighter to watch!
Regardless of who i thought won that. why have all of your 10 posts been about troy ross/cunningham or the reposting of this video in different threads. talk about something diferent for christs sakes.
Ross won hands down. Ross is an extremely under rated boxer-puncher so its good to see a fan obsessed with him for a change. He was giving Cunningham hell until that freak thumb punch to the eye.
