    Ah, perhaps you're right, but that's the first time I heard that though?

    Vivian Harris vs Carlos Maussa.

    Harris was the superior fighter, but he fought like an idiot, winging power shot after power shot. He got tired and Maussa knocked him out.

    Not at all. Foreman set him up and delivered.

    A choke for me is when a guy coasts part of the fight and thinks he’s made up for it with rounds won later on and vice versa.

    Loma vs Lopez is a prime example. Recently Ramos coasted late vs Lubin and paid the price on the cards. It was a shocking decision but Ramos should never have gifted Lubin the last couple of rounds to make it closer than it was.

    Katsidis against Casamayor
    Mundine against Kessler he showed too much respect, he showed at points in the fight that he could out box Kessler but didn't do enough.
    Danny Green in the Beyer rematch he almost got the stoppage in the 12th round but left it too late.

    Kovalev vs Ward I to an extent (and this is from someone who thought Kovalev won the fight); there was a noticeable lack of urgency in the second half of the fight from Kovalev (perhaps because he thought he was winning comfortably?). If he put his foot on the gas and won the later rounds clearly then I think he would have got the decision.

    Can't get more obvious than both Golota fights against a shot Bowe.

    Joshua choked IMO against Ruiz in the first fight.

    Klitschko against Joshua. Wlad had the fight in the bag but didn't go for the stoppage. AJ looked ready to go. He allowed AJ to recover and then got caught with a big uppercut which changed the fight.

    Yep, he was so excited being on a ppv show, and wanted so much to be impressive that it all backfired.
