    I've added a poll with some of the more popular options:

    Lewis v McCall when McCall broke down in tears.

    Wilson v McCarthy when Wilson's mum ran in the ring and attacked McCarthy with her shoe.

    Holyfield v Tyson II when Tyson bit Holyfields ear

    Hill v Washington when Washington was unable to continue after cutting his eye on a camera

    Bradley v Vargas which we all saw this weekend

    Hopkins v Allen when the ref pushed Hopkins out of the ring splitting up a clinch

    Bowe v Tillery when Tillery kicked Bowe so Bowe's manager got in the ring and wrestled Tillery through the ropes, and Tillery was DQ'd

    Golota v Bowe, when Golota low blowed Bowe and started a riot

    Williams v Cintron when Cintron flew out of the ring and got stretched out with Williams winning by TKO

    I wasn't around to see it, but I've gotta go with Ali - Liston II. Nowadays a no-contest would've been declared and a rematch ordered. I'm not sure Sonny would've taken it, however. It sure doesn't seem like he screamed too loudly after the Lewiston fight.

    As for one I did see, Buster Douglas - Louis Monaco. "Wow, Douglas was knocked out!" "Wait, we can't have that! This guy Douglas is still a moneymaker. It looks like maybe, just maybe, that punch landed after the bell."

    Will Tomlinson vs Daniel Ruiz:

    After 7 completed rounds, a power outage in the building halted the fight. The commission opted to go to the scorecards.


    Terrence Lewis vs Michael Rush:

    Aired on ESPN2 FNF. The two combatants showed poise and sportsmanship for 9 complete rounds. Coming out to start Round 10 both men went to touch gloves, as per the ref's instructions, but Lewis instead threw a KO punch. Lewis was DQ'd and Rush was awarded the victory.

    Hadn't seen this in quite awhile.

    It is obvious referee Paul Venti did a horrible job here. Kawoya wasn't hurt and Venti stepped in too early. He cost Kawoya the upset there. Venti was over the hill at the time, I never saw him referee much after that fight.
