Starling vs. Molinares? Nice little fight, if not particularly noteworthy (although Starling did once say that these five rounds were his peak performance), and then one of the all-time memorable endings. The fight was ruled a Molinares win at the time, but eventually the commission ruled the bout a no-contest, agreeing with Starling's assessment that officially he was neither knocked out nor knocked down.
Prince Charles Williams v Merqui Sosa. So brutal, the ref Ron Lipton and commissioner Larry Hazard stopped it after 7 as they couldn't stand it any more. It was declared a draw but it wasn't. Sosa was ahead but in similarly bad shape as the Prince. But nor was it a NC. It was essentially the ref just saying two men should not be beating each other that badly and stopping it. That shows a compassionate side to Lipton but some reports were not complimentary. I remember a report saying that there is nothing wrong with squeamishness but a boxing referee is the wrong person to be beset by it and the ring is not the right forum to show it. Anyway, read all about it. https://www.boxingnewsonline.net/pr...avage-it-had-to-be-stopped-and-called-a-draw/
Tyson utterly humiliating and dropping Andrew Golota who got yelled at by his own corner and left the arena covered in garbage was more entertaining than some of his knockouts.
