What is the most disgraceful crowd behaviour ever in boxing?

[SweetPea]

I think Bowe-Golota I takes the cake in this one.

Their has been so many but Hatton vs mayweather the Booing from us british fans was unreal same as Manfredo vs Calzaghe as a country were a bit of a joke

Honestly, I think stuff like that is relatively mundane. It's not like they were throwing bottles at PBF as he came to the ring or anything.

I gotta agree with the Hatton vs Mayweather crowd as well. The Hatton fans were really annoying. Not only were they booing but I remember them playing instruments or music (how is that even legal).

With all the talk of a Holt-Torres III match there obviously comes the talk of the crowd behaviour in the first fight when beer cans and other things were thrown and so on. But what is the worst piece of crowd behaviour ever?

My vote would be for the British crowd when Hagler beat Minter for the MW title. It was a disgrace and its a shame us Brits never seem to learn!

Also one other that springs to mind is the parachuter (or whatever he was) in the Bowe-Holyfield II match. I know he wasn't exactly a member of the crowd but he certainly became involved lol.

That reaction completely ruined the moment for Hagler.

I'm going to add the very recent booing of the US National Anthem during the Mayweather vs Hatton fight.

Holt Torres one in Columbia. They were throwing stuff in the ring during the fight. The same thing happened during a big title fight in IIRC Mexico in the 1970s. I remember seeing Harry Carpenter showing it for a couple of minutes on Sportsnight, for all you old bastards out there that remember stone age pre-satellite TV sport.

I can't remember which fight but once the crowd was cheering for Zab Judah.
It made me sick.



The only thing worse was Zab vs PBF. You're screwed either way. I found myself cheering for a double knockout.

Golota - Bowe riot was pretty bad.

No doubt about it.This was the absolute worst I have ever seen.The thing was it totally expanded beyond the ring and fight outcome and took on a savage growth into the stands.Just really pissed me off watching all of these pumped up insecure thugs rampaging on anyone and everyone within distance.

Most recent is the crowd at Wales for Joe Calzaghe's fight agianst a worthy Peter Manfredo. Wait did I say worthy.....then what does that make Pavlik?

[CountryBoy]

Hopkins easy on two separate occasions. Once with Tito and Flag incident and The whiteboy Calzaghe incident, I used to admire him but he is no more than just trash to me now and he will get knocked out by Pavliki in Oct.

I had totally forgot about this. Good call!

[CutMeMick]

In no particular order:

Eubanks-Rocchigianni
Valero-Mosquera
JCC-Haugen
Quiroga-Anifowoshe
Holt-Torres I
Bowe-Golota (Really sucks to see Duva taken out in a stretcher. and almost dropped. On the flip side whoever thru the Cherry Slurpee on Golota has a great aim. )
Rahman-Maskaev

I think the majority were cheering for him in all 2 rounds of the Tszyu fight.

[Saddo]

OK as its not been mentioned i think the unhinged Hide turning up at the Harrison fight and being provoked into kicking off....

the reason this one pisses me off is if i remember right it was the last boxing shown on the BBC... was it because they had blown thier funds for boxing on Audley or was it because of that riot which went out live to millions ((not great for boxing or the BBC))

also Frank Bruno appeared talking about fighting again... just befor he had his breakdown.
