i remember seeing this ko a few times. each and every time with a southpaw.

you ever saw a guy get struck out by really nasty break?

my theory is you think a punch is coming out straight.

but it comes out curved and weaves around on you.

the punch curves and "breaks away" so to speak on where you think it was going so your brain does not understand why you were just hit and has to momentarily shut down.

michael nunn knocked out sumbu kalambay the same way with the same punch.

All-time robbery. There was a sentiment that the "powers that be" in the sport at that time absolutely didn't want Lewis as THE heavyweight champion and this was the culmination of that. From the Bowe duck, to the McCall loss, the Don King lawsuit, and then this, Lennox seemed cursed. He'd been at the door for heavyweight supremacy for like 7 years at this point
I remember me and my dad watching the fight at my neighbors house like :sadcam: cuz we are Holyfield fans..when they announced that draw, my Dad was like YES!!!!! running up and down the hallway lol..even though we both knew Holyfield lost that fight

are you Namibian? :ehh:
Yeah and to be honest I didn't give our boy much of a chance. He hasn't really fought anyone in the top 50 probably even top 100 if I remember right and he wasn't what I'd call a big puncher and when he stepped up he struggled a lot. Hasn't faced much competition outside of the local and keep in mind he is 33. So this was a huge step up but damn. I know he was gonna make it hard for troy because nam has scrappers but this is one of the upsets of the year imo next to the match uchiyama lost and the robert guerrero losing to the taxi driver

That might be the upset of the year to me....I actually picked peralta beating ghost but I didn't put any money on it :to:
