    Holmes. The punch Shavers landed was harder than the punch Wilder landed, because Holmes moved into the punch.

    It was more or less the same experience for me. I had expected the 12th to be a routine repeat of the majority of the rounds gone by already - just cruise towards a decision was my thinking.

    Then the KD came and I was like, "Well, that's that then..."

    After that, it just became surreal.

    Thanks for the interview. Excellent stuff. Jack Reiss is a dude and a real pro. The guy's background is phenomenal.

    A bit irrelevant but I feel Ali getting up from Frazier's hook was most impressive because the concensus at the time was that Ali was unproven in the chin department, despite being in the ring with punchers such as Liston and Williams.
    When he got hit with that left, everyone thought it was over only for Ali to prove them wrong. It was at this moment, that Ali showed beyond a doubt, his durability was exceptional.
