Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota = All the crowd fighting plus, Golota throwing the fight away with low blows.

Boxing Mom
In 1989, Steve McCarthy was hammering Tony Wilson in a boxing match when Wilson's mother climbed into the ring, came up behind McCarthy and started clubbing him on the head with one of her shoes.

Ricky Hatton v Stephen Smith, 2002
Smith is disqualified after his father and trainer, Darkie, jumped into the ring and pushed Micky Vann, the referee, while protesting about an elbow by Hatton.

It ain't over....
Till the two men are out of the ring, apparently.
James Butler, a light heavyweight contender, had just lost a unanimous decision to Richard Grant in New York.
'The Harlem hammer' was approached by Grant in the usual postfight hugging ritual which is a staple part of boxing.
Butler offered his hands, well right hand actually and landed his best punch of the night to render his opponent unconscious.
It might be the last punch he ever gets paid for.

Outside the ring
Larry Holmes flying kick from car
In 1991, a 41-year-old Larry Holmes got into a street fight with former opponent Trevor Berbick in Florida. Berbick accused a friend of Holmes of breaking up Berbick's marriage. Holmes heard about the comments and chased Berbick down the driveway of a hotel and they exchanged punches.
The two boxers returned to the front door of the hotel and were standing in the driveway, separated by two cars, when Berbick screamed: "Everybody saw Larry Holmes punch me and kick me." Holmes ran onto a car, jumped off and flew at Berbick.

Oliver McCall breakdown against Lennox...That ish was crazy
Though I wasn't there myself, one of my former colleagues was a writer at the fight between Bradley Pryce and Gavin Downs at the York Hall in Bethnal Green.
Basically, Bradley stopped Downs in 9 rounds, but after the fight, his brother was so happy, and was watching from the balcony that he jumped into the ring and broke his leg after the 12 foot leap. Seemed pretty bizarre to me, though rumour has it he was pretty wasted.
Anyhow, couldn't find the full article, but here's a link to the preview of it:
http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-3310862.html
Keep 'em coming guys! :D I am already searching lots of them on YouTube.
How about when Larry Merchant punched a fan in the ring and then continued interviewing as if nothing happened? :laugh:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK2BLeYprfg
Ice ripped off some top ones.Ayala later admitted he had shot up heroin before the fight with Lopez :o
Gabe Ruelas vs.Jeff Franklin. Man this was PAINFUL to watch.Tight fight with credible Franklin then along in the 6 or 7th round they tie up and some how twist. SNAP!Ruelas's arm at the elbow broke and It was nasty.
Of course the Fan-man and "Bite" from tyson. Didnt Fan man later commit suicide?? Nice topic Chino
Margarito literally "boxing" Lujans left ear off.And then aiming for it .Brutal S!!! Ref said....."fights over,His f!!!!!! ear is hanging off"
Thanks Spicoli :)
I hope Evander Holyfield doesn't get nightmares from boxing since he has been through a couple of bizarre things in the ring :laugh:.
Merqui Sosa Vs. Prince Charles Williams 1.....So heavy a war that BOTH fighters were deemed too hurt and unable to continue.
Pazienza slugged the ref.In first rossenblatt fight,funny Shit.Not intentional though.
Think Floyd-Fears mentioned James Butler Ko'ing Richard grant after the fight.That scum bag should be put UNDER the jail.It was a Benifit show for Firefighters and Police after 9/11 ,Packed with Police.He was cuffed on the spot and led out.Teddy and Tesotore(?) were going Insane with reaction
Marlon starling getting KO'd after the bell vs. Tomas Molinares and losing title.He was out of it for a Looooong time.
there was one unknown fighter whose toupee flew off when he was knocked down. looked like he was being scalped. I think it's on youtube.
zab and mayweather
K9 and powell

Oh man! I missed that one too! :laugh: It would be funny if the lights went off in the middle of the fight and when the lights came back to see both fighters on the mat.
Hey guys! If you find a video link to what you post here that would be great! 8)
Looked like he just grabbed the dude by the throat and shoved him to me. Hilarious none the less though. Didn't think ol Larry had it in him.Quote:

The fight in the states when Vic Darchinyan fought (do not remeber who) and the fireworks started going off outside the ring and lasted like 10 minutes.
Yeah I remember that fight. It was when Vic was fightin for the world title against Champion, Irene Pacheco. And he was gettin outboxed, and losing, then those fukin fireworks came on, fuked up the whole flow of the fight, and gave them both a big rest. And turned the fight around for Vic, helping him to go out there and stop Pacheco.Quote:

The most bizarre thing has to be when one of the fighters mothers jumped in the ring
I bet alot of Hatton fans wish this happened in the Mayweather fight. :P

I don't remember the fighters but if I remember correctly it was a black lady who was hitting the other guy from the outside with a purse, right? :laugh:Quote:

Carlos Maussa
just in general
;D
Alright,Ive come up with a few more oddities.Not sure if there the most bizarre but more or less WTF moments,sorry if repeating already mentioned.
Bobby Paqcuio Ko Carlos Navarro. This was just very odd.Navarro actually got pissed at ref. after getting dropped,he would go down again,ref didnt call it and motioned Navarro to get up.Carlos slamed his fist on canvas and got up.Down for a third time he sat up and looked at ref "COUNT",he said.It was sureal.He demanded to be counted out.
Remember the smoke bombs or whatever it was that went off During the Foreman Vs. Holyfield fight.You could not see the ring.Thought a fire was raging.
Virgil Hill Vs. Adolpho Washington(??). Fight stopped when his head slamed into the camera and big cut opened.Crazy
How about that little b!!!! Robert Allen laying on the Canvas During the 1st or 2nd Hopkins fight faking It,He actually opened his one eye and peeked to see what was up.Funny LMAO stuff.Ref new he was B.S ing
Nigel Benn against V.Nardiello....Dude kept kissing him or some weird s!!!.
Bazooka Limon getting Frustrated (tired) and pulling Sharmba micthells trunks down.
The guy that turned around, ran and jumped onto the ropes, then turned around while he was on the ropes just to get knocked out by the other fighter who'd followed him over there.
What was his name? I forgot. Somebody used to have a video of it on here as their sig.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :DQuote:

It was some blond kid who obviously didn't want to fight anymore he got hit and started running away then as he leaped over the top rope he turned his head and the other boxer punched him and threw him out of the ring.Quote:

Buster Mathis Sr. qualifies for me as a fighter who was the most Bizarre I've ever seen in a ring. Before he started training with Cus D'amato Mathis could have qualified as a fully fledged obese person. Yet he relied heavily on his hand and footspeed.
This speed was so good that he beat Joe Frazier in the Olympic qualifiers (twice I believe) only to lose his place on the team as a result of a broken hand. Before he turned pro her was swelled as a whale, but still well conditioned like i said and fast for a heavy!
it was a light heavyweight bout between tony wilson and steve McCarthy and wilsons mum started hitting steve on the head with her high heel shoe. bizarley because he wouldnt continue he lost via a tko, but won the british title in his next bout. he later boxed Dariusz Michalczewski and Henry Maske in consecutive bouts and interetingly lost both on disqualification.Quote:
