If you watch the fight with the HBO broadcast team, you will notice that Floyd connects on a check hook in the THIRD round, and Manny says "Check Hook". I did not notice it during the original broadcast, but took note in the replay.

Those Michigan guys all learn the same stuff. They are so old-school.
I also heard Manny say that a few times. Floyd was landing those shots at will.. He hit him with a number of those "check hooks"..

Watch the replay of the KO.. Floyd LURES him into the corner and as soon as Ricky starts to throw Floyd already had the hook on it's way.
