Strangest thing you have seen in a fight

[quintonjacksonfan]

Nothing comes close to the Coggi-Gonzalez fight. It's corruption at it's finest.
Everytime the hometown guy was hurt they would ring the bell to stop the round.

Another strange event was a protester entering the ring in his underwear
The fight slips me now but it was between two guys who has unreal KO percentages

[McGrain]

:lol:


Easily that parachuting idiot.

But who was the comedian that Marciano "fought" and the guy kept falling down and hiding behind the referee. There was something pretty surreal about that.

[Raggamuffin]

Yeah, FanMan they called him.
Got his head handed to him on a platter by Bowe's thugs

[twogunman]

Oliver Mcall crying in the ring versus Lennox Lewis.

[brooklyn1550]

1. Fan Man
2. The ear bite(s)
3. Oliver McCall crying

[hopkinsfan07]

yes the McCall things was strange

[unitas]

stuff like that happens in germany all the time. like when krasniqui got ko´ed in round eight by brewster ( even the tv people from germany said so).........but the ref just counted to nine then stopped. then he told the still down krasniqui to get up.........imagine that!

I think it was Jerry Lewis.

[Duodenum]

:lol:

There was something pretty surreal about that.Bob Hope performed with Rocky once, as "Chicken Delight," wearing pillow sized gloves, and accompanied by a couple of hot girls in nurses uniforms. Could that be the episode you're referring to? (Hope was also a former boxer, and always retained those reflexes.)

[jyuza]

The parachut guy.

I was astonished when I saw it ! The poor man got his ass handed by the crowd and seemed to have lost consciousness... man that was awesome.

[Icemmann]

Paez dry humping his opponents has to get a mention here too.

[My dinner with Conteh]

Tony Tucker in an exciting fight, can't remember the opponent, but it happened...once.

[Duodenum]

"Macho" Camacho wearing a skirt in the ring was pretty demented. (Why didn't he accessorize with a pair of 5 inch heels to give himself a height advantage?)

[TBooze]

I think you would have go some way to beat Mrs Wilson storming the ring to protect her little boy!

Ha ha, of course. How could we forget. His mum with her vicious stiletto. :lol:

[quintonjacksonfan]

In a recent interview Bowe said the fan man was part of

a conspiracy by Holyfield

[rekcutnevets]

This isn't the strangest thing, but it was funny.

Rock Newman pulling Elijah Tillery over the top rope, during Tillery's bout with Riddick Bowe in wich Tillery had previously tried to leg kick Bowe.

[birddog]

5 things that stick in my memory in no particular order

Oliver Mccall , losing it
The Tyson Hannibal Lechter Bite's on Holyfield
That Huge Bump on Rahman's head in the Holyfield Fight (was obscene)
Fan man during Holyfield Bowe 2 (was it 2)
The bombing of Hagler with bottles and cans after his destruction of Minter to win MW title


Honorable mention

Riot in the MSG after (Golata v Bowe) ok not in the ring
Riot fight in ring after Mayweather - Judah

[quintonjacksonfan]

Not the most bizarre but here are a few more

Al Certo screaming at a quitting Golota
Vito Anturfermo corner trying to talk him into quitting after he clashed heads
with Hagler

[john garfield]

I hadn't thought of it right away but "fan man" does take the cake. How often do you see a parachutist land in the ring.

I did see something bizarre in the New York Golden Gloves back in the early '70s. It was at the Felt Forum in Madison Square Garden.

A latin featherweight knocked his opponent down and kept kicking him in the head. The referee and both corners tried to grab him. He wriggled free, jumped out of the ring, eluded fans, and ran out the front door in below zero weather with just his trunks on and disappeared.

A week later it was reported in the paper, he was shot dead in a holdup.

[quintonjacksonfan]

Who was the convict that fought Meldrick Taylor? He was a fugitive who

was arrested after his fight with Taylor

[quintonjacksonfan]

It was during the first round of Zarate-Zamora fight where the fan
came into the ring just in his underwear

[apollack]

Yeah, Eder Gonzalez v. Juan Coggi I has to be the most flagrantly obvious fix ever. Man, oh man. That referee was simply not going to allow Coggi to lose.

And yeah, that ref for that Brewster-Krasniqi fight should be banned for life. Any sport that would allow him to ref should be banned.

[buddynabuick]

Paez dry humping his opponents has to get a mention here too.




:rofl

[pipe wrenched]

I don't remember who it was and i've seen it several times where someone is losing and their mother (or girlfriend, but believe it was mother) jumped in the ring and started hitting the opponent with her shoe.:lol: :lol: :lol:

[The Kurgan]

Tony Tucker in an exciting fight, can't remember the opponent, but it happened...once.

The only good Tucker fight I've seen was Tucker-Lewis, and that had a lot more to do with Lewis than Tucker. Tucker-Swindell and Tucker-Douglas are two of the worst stoppage wins I've ever seen. Tucker-Tyson was even worse than Tyson-Bonecrusher.

Have you even seen those fights ? Tyson- Tucker was 100 times better than that awful Smith "Fight" ....

This incident, fanman, the Golatta riot with Duva's collapse. Strange, bad things almost always happened when Bowe fought.

Could you imagine if he fought Tyson?

[Mendoza]

1. Fan Man
2. The ear bite(s)
3. Oliver McCall crying

All fine choices, but I have a better one. There was a fight in the 50's once where one fighter charged out of his corner, missed badly with a punch, and fell clean out of the ring! He was then coutned out. The winner won via KO without even thowing a punch.

[fists of fury]

:lol: That's nuts.

The Bowe v Tillery incident where Tillery kicked him and Newman pulled Tillery over the top rope WWE style was insane.

One of the most bizarre incident involves Jimmy Abbot, a local heavyweight who stood 6'6 and weighed around 280 lbs. or so. Big guy.

The opponent was the Zimbabwean champion, who was literally too scared to throw a punch, or even stand up. He cowered in a corner kind of like a frightened cat and refused to come out.
Abbott walks on over and as soon as he gets close, this guy darts to the opposite corner and cowers again. This goes on for about a minute with Abbott looking totally bewildered and the other guy looking petrified, when the refs stops it.
I'm not sure if they ruled it a TKO or a NC, but the "fight" was totally bizarre.

[quintonjacksonfan]

What fighter pretended to be hurt took a knee and exploded back

up in the first round? It was a recent heavyweight maybe Bruce Seldon.

[Doc McCoy]

Another strange event was a protester entering the ring in his underwear
The fight slips me now but it was between two guys who has unreal KO percentages

Battle of the Z-Boys. . . . Zarate v Zamora. :good

[Holmes' Jab]

Definitely the Fanman Fight (Holyfield vs Bowe II) the single most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a title fight. Closely followed by the Bight Fight and the McCall vs Lewis rematch.

[Holmes' Jab]

HM: Dempsey vs Willard (Dempsey leaving the ring after the first round thinking the fight was over, before being made to return)

The title fight Aaron Pryor had before Arguello, where he was floored and did something like a somersault and was back in his opponent's face.

[The Kurgan]

Have you even seen those fights ? Tyson- Tucker was 100 times better than that awful Smith "Fight" ....

To be honest, I can only remember Tyson ducking a right and getting his by a left uppercut against Tucker, followed by lots of clinching. The entire last round of Tyson-Smith is clear in my mind.

Aside from Lewis-Tucker, which had some really warlike rounds, Tucker's entire career was non-descript.

[quintonjacksonfan]

Pryor against Kameda

[Bigcat]

In 1999 Lou Saverese boxed Lance Whitaker in Las Vegas, Lou was thrashing Lance but in round 6 he took a knee.. The referee knelt down next to him and spoke very clearly, I think you had better get up and start acting like you want to win this fight....

Lou indeed lurched back to his feet and won a shutout.....

[TBooze]

Remember when Rafael (not quite as good as his brother) Ruelas messed up his knee count against Gutierrez?

Brothers Gabe injury against Jeff Franklin was perhaps not strange, but it was certainly the worse I saw in the ring.
