Hitting on the break and resulting KOs?

[Spicoli]

I can't remember that fight!

I think it was legit and Paez was to blame.

Remember this one?

Definitaly a case for utilizing instant replay I think and we see it occasionally. But again, had roles been reversed doubt seriously Molinares would be afforded the second look.

Weird aftermath also. Good they reversed it in short order but odd that no rematch took place. Apparently Molinares was stripped because he couldn't make weight ? and then goes on to be ko'd by inferior competition twice and just disappears. Starling wins strap on card where Breland fights for vacant wba yet they never rematch either?

Most famous case of it...poor Sharkey got jobbed

I say protect yourself at all times. All times. Unless the foul is blatant, i.e., a guy running into another guy's corner like James Butler v Richard Grant, then really and truly what in the world would you think should happen?

Vitali Klitschko was actually quite adept at using the gaps in the rules to be more effective in his attack. Vitali unlike Wladimir, would after initiating a clinch break the clinch before the ref got there, the other fighter would be in kind of a lazy state thinking "Oh the ref will break us, I can drop my guard for a second and catch my breath".....wrong.


Mike Tyson was good at that as well. It's a great tactic for a pressure fighter to push his opponent up against the ropes, take a drop step and slam home some power punches. When Mike was tired the ref would break the fighters before Mike could initiate an attack and therefore it would stop him from completing a knockout or it would allow his opponent to recover.

This was a beauty. The ref gave Barker the KO win even though he'd shouted "stop boxing" twice and blocked Samuels right arm ()

That was brutal. Great memory as it's listed as just another KO with no circumstances. Yet another ref with reaction time of a distracted sloth not being there to call Barker kd.
