One that has always stuck for some reason was a Teddy Reid fight with Amirilano (sp?) Valdez some time ago.Reid strikes me as a headcase,but he was a classless and crass fool,was clubbing Valdez,think he had a late shot mixed in.Guy went down in a bad way,obviously in distress,Reid strutting around,acting the f!!!!g jerk.Pretty sure he lapsed into a coma that night.

Remember Tyson doing the whole "Let me help you up" thing lol.Quite often.Knock your head off...and then goes running after it for the poor guy sprawled on the deck.
was just typing the exact same thing about Benn when my PC crashed, good call on that one. Same with Tyson, always thought that was funny too.Frank Bruno was like that too.Could probably count on one hand the number of real shits that would do it deliberately, usually big grudge matches or re matches. For the most point IMO it's all heat of the moment and what happens ten minutes after or at the presse conference counts more.I think you are entitled after sweating your balls off for months and then landing a KO to celebrate.
Thats it,the heat of the moment.Also in the manner you know?Like when a guy is clearly in command but its an accumulation leading to KO or a sudden shot out of know where.Its that natural instinct of realizing victory.You can also see the fighters that have beaten on a guy...but they just wont fall and they start asking the ref,motioning because they are weary of hurting someone.Sad all around really.Always talk on that Antonio Tarver/Harding rematch......I literally thought Tarver was going to rough that ref up after the fight,he was yelling in his face "What the hell is wrong with you".Ref was not fit to be in their.Harding took a horrific beating,but just wouldn't quit.
