Re: Knockdowns Where you Didn't think The Fighter Was Going To Get Up But Did
Shavers on Holmes and Mclellan on Benn popped into my mind immediately, props for listing them! Mclellan put a real beating on Benn that first round, Benn said that the last right hand of the knockdown hit him on the side of the head (pushing his head toward his shoulder) and he could feel ligaments in his neck tearing. Nigel has balls and heart the size of england.
I'd like to add Ibeabuchi/Byrd, even though Byrd was clearly out of it and was finished just moments later. For him to get up so quickly from that bomb was just unbelievable.
Gatti getting up from Ward's 9th round livershot impressed me too. When I first saw it I thought he'd stay down, he had a look on his face like he had enough, but popped up at the last second.
