    I heard that Rocky cracked this mother****er and knocked his actual teeth out of his mouth?
    True or legend?
    Is there a video of it and who was the opponent?

    It was the Rex Layne fight.
    There's film of the fight but I don't know which punch knocked his tooth out. He must have been a tough guy 'cos apparently it happened in the 1st round and he lasted until the 6th.

    The Lee Savold hammering sounded bad to - the voice over man on the film of I have quoted Savolds cornermen as having said they pulled him out because "his teeth had been smashed into his gums"!! Think the same thing was done to George Foreman by Ron Lyle - pretty scary!

    Yeah,...Layne's teeth had been broken off at the gum line...and Savold's teeth had been smashed into his gums...
