Punching On The Way Down

[0james0]

Started off in the Dirrell thread:

It's too late now.

Let's just hope he doesn't make it through to the next round. He was losing the momentum in that fight and took a dive. It was a harsh call, the DQ, I've been watching loads of old fights and they all used to take a swing as the man was down/ going down. Tyson in particular used to hit on the way down and never got DQ'd.

Yeah I watched one last night actually,

This was fairly brutal too around the 4:30 mark.

I personally think that the Abraham one deserved a DQ though, he had quite a bit of time to stop/not throw the punch. Also I wouldn't be suprised if Dirrell beat Ward!

That was brutal!

You could even argue that it wasn't the knockdown shot that KO'd him, it was the one the uppercut when he was sat on his ass that put him to sleep.

It's hijacking this thread a little, but there are loads of Tyson on floor shots we could put up. I'd be curious to see how many we could find!

Start a new thread then! I'm sure it will be a good enough topic for it's own thread. Or even have it for everyone rather than just Tyson.

Can anyone think of any other examples of boxers hitting opponents either when down or on the way down?

I think there are about 10 Tyson ones to be found!
