    ...but took such a terrible beating you shouted for the ref to stop it?

    I think the ref wanted Duran to kill Davey Moore.

    Gatti - Mayweather.

    Not that I was shouting but, it was getting real bad in there.

    The first one comes to mind was the fearful beating local New England favorite Tommy Collins took at the hands of Jimmy Carter. Collins was flattened for nine-counts by Carter left hooks-- out like a light -- ten times but managed to get back on his feet and throw back. It was a slaughter.

    Not so much a beating as it wasn't a torrid amount of punches...but Ruddock vs Dokes. Dokes was out and those last huge blows felt like they came at slow motion.

    I guess I didn't read the initial post as I was probably not rooting for Dokes. Sorry for the tangent! ;)
