Floyd messed up in the first bout though.
His first loss completely justified.
Montell did milk it though.

Milk it indeed! What a fucking joke, he gets hit with a small shot, looks up at the ref like "come on, did you see that"... and then slumps over unconscious!Originally Posted by imp
And I like Montell, he was really underrated, so awkward and athletic, but he milked that punch and put on an act, and he got two gifts vs James Toney IMO.

That was an impressive performance. No skill involved though, that was pure BAD ASS! Roy basically walks across the ring with his hands down, gets the distance he knows he close quickly, and as Montell blinks, Roy damn near takes his head off with a monstrous shot. The rest of the fight is Roy stalking him like a damn tiger and then scoring the most visually impressive knockout since Tyson stopped Berbick.

Roy was unstoppable back then, especially when out for revenge.

Roy was pissed about his first loss. Griffin was getting beaten in the first fight but was awkward and surviving. Roy smashed him in the return. No messing.

That and the pure amount of garbage that Griffin talked after the DQ loss (he's still talking) just fueled Roy's motivation. He talked himself straight into getting obliterated. From the first shot that sent him across the ring, I think everyone knew, Roy was leaving no doubt.
After the first fight Roy said "get me the rematch...", his lawyer/adviser said..."it will cost.." and Roy interrupted with "I don't care what it costs, get me the rematch!!!" I wonder if we will ever hear another fighter say those words again ever.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

I've seen Roy go out there and go easy on guys, he famously carried the great Mike McCallum to a decision out of respect.
But damn, when he was pissed off and out for blood, he was one of the baddest men in the history of boxing. Montell was no joke in the ring.
