Now I love toe to toe action and knockouts as much as the next person, but every so often a fight comes up that has me feeling a little off putted by what's going on.
Either because someone is getting beaten up too badly, or the fight is a total mismatch. I think the most I've ever been disturbed by a fight was Vitali Klitschko vs Shannon Briggs. Shannon immediately had no chance and his corner would not pull him out. I was disturbed how Vitali kept on wailing on him even in the later rounds, as was his right but I remember wishing him to just carry Shannon until the end.
I also can't stand to watch Gerry Cooney's knockout of Ken Norton, I swear to god Cooney punched with the force of a speeding motorcycle.
Are there any fights that disturbed you guys and maybe made you question why you watch boxing?
