This is one of my favorites, Vitali vs a bum. He savagely destroyed that poor dude [yt]lhvlzor585s[/yt]
i guess it depends on the definition of "mauling" I grew up in Alaska and Immediately think of getting mauled by a bear, so not necessarily one punch, but a physical beating where the opponent uses superior strength to keep a fighter trapped regardless of ring smarts and technique... G.Johnson mauled Jones Jr.
Was that on the same night when Wlad lost to Purrity? Vitali fought right after him and was absolutely mad.
That's right it happened on that particular night, that was their first and last fight in their hometown. Vitali was furious. :twisted:
That's a good shout. Briggs took a terrible beating that night. Tito also had a few fights like this - his fights against Joppy and Mayorga arguably ruined both guys. I don't know if it would fit into the category of a "mauling", especially due to the controversial finish but JCC damaged Taylor considerably in their first fight. When I think of guys who typically mauled their opponents, Duran and Dempsey always spring to mind. They were barbaric.
chavez vs taylor is a classic mauling sure taylor was winning the boxing match but chavez physically won the battle in terms of punishment dished out he literally ruined taylor for life.
