Knocked Out in Sparring

[Wayne]

Anyone know of elite/former elite/future elite fighters getting KO'd in sparring? I heard something about Tyson once, but that may have just been a knock down.

[JT Rock]

Im pretty sure I heard Mcclellan had real rough sparring leading up to the Benn fight, not sure if he was KO'D though

[Fenster]

I'm pretty sure Scrap said it was Montel Griffin that KO'd McClellan in sparring.

Oliver McCall floored Tyson.. so he says

[Lance Uppercut]

Tyson got dropped by Greg Page prior to the Douglas fight. They even aired it during the fight.

I kinda remember that. They were talking about all of Tyson's recent woes. His break up with Robin Givens, the car crash and I specifically remember Tyson being loaded into the ambulance.

[Rocky Balboa]

That would really make you think, "Am I ready for this fight?". You'd be pretty nervous walking into the ring.

Very true....Manny Steward likes to push his fighters in sparring still to this day
