Question About Roy Jones Jr Vs Glen Johnson KO.

[Fenster]

Roy sure did whack his head there.

I would think most KO's, where the head bounces hard of the canvas is because of the damage the punch has done in scrambling the senses beforehand... (does that make sense )

In other words, the punch receiver would have been badly hurt without hitting their head.

I'm with the other guys - I don't think it changed the outcome, but it made sure he wasn't getting up quite as fast, too.

[Mark TKO]

never seen it but Larry Holmes said that when Earnie Shavers hit him he was out cold - slamming down on the canvas was what woke him up !
