In boxing. The strange, the unlikely, the borderline impossible in any other walk of life or sport.

An example. Ike Ibeabuchi is considered to have a iron jaw, most people citing his record setting fight with banger David Tua.

But of all the fighters that he faced that stunned him? Marion Wilson and Chris Byrd. :lol:

I got a copy of the Wilson fight a few months ago. The commentators were talking about how Wilson could lull fighters to sleep in there, and that's seemingly what happened. You could only give him a round or two tops throughout the entire fight but he somehow stunned Ike! As in the Marion Wilson with 12 wins and all of 5 knockouts. :lol:

Another strange and unlikely one was Adolfo Washington bashing his head on a camera. Virgil Hill TD 11! :rofl

The Bowe-Holyfield II "fan man" episode was the most bizarre thing I've seen in sport.

Not really a boxing thing, but it happened during a boxing match, so ....

Mhm, anything that's happened to a boxer or in a boxing ring, or anything related by association.

Fucking fan man. He got his ass kicked pretty badly by that enraged mosh pit didn't he? :lol:

:rofl Big time!

I think he was quoted later as saying something like "it was a heavyweight fight, and i was the only one that got knocked out."

GOLD.

ROFLMAOOOOO@how he got tangled in the ropes. Will never forget that.

I don't think I'd stop that from happening if I could go back in time. :lol:

One thing that springs to mind is that virtually ANYONE can be a professional.
