Boxing Magic moments

Also does anyone know where you can get a timeline on boxing events that have happened over the years, dates etc?




Cheers guys

Nice idea, Seanus, and your blog is looking good, also.

How about these two from the 606v2 youtube boxing channel ?

Greatest punch of all time ? ( Robinson v Fullmer )

Nicolino Locche - Untouchable

Foreman v Lyle, ( rounds four and five ) and Dempsey v Firpo ( both rounds ) might also fit the bill.

Lovely Windy

thanks mate, if i keep up the blog i may need some contributors so have your type writer at the ready mate. I will credit the site for giving em this too. Robinson fullmer will do nicely for today i think

Not something that happened in the ring.

But Michael Watson completing the London marathon and being accompanied by Eubank on the last leg was a special moment.

Also Bruno finally winning the HW title and the first round between Hagler vs Hearns.

A few suggestions, most of which you'll be able to find online.

For those 'wacky' or 'unusual' moments, how about the 'Fan Man incident' in the second Bowe-Holyfield bout in 1993? Tyson getting ear-hungry in his second fight with Holyfield in 1997 must be up there, too, or how about Malignaggi needing a hair cut in the middle of a world title bout against Lovemore N'Dou in 2008?

As for the timeline, well, you could probably make one yourself - but for my sins, I'm going to write up one I have in a publication by Harry Mullan in 1999 (so he gets the credit, may he rest in peace) and convert it in to a file for anybody who is interested. Will take me a while, though!

Mine are obvious ones.
Harrison-Sprott
Fan man.
Tyson bite.
McCall crying.
The guy who kicked Bowe.
Bowe brawl.
Anything to do with Oliver Stone.
Witter/Cintron flying out of the ring.
Judah/May brawl.
Campbell knocked out by Peden.

cheers felllows

fan man is great as is the watson eubank moment, so thanks both

chris i will be up for seeing that timeline for sure mate.

Will do, mate, but you are doing a fine job already.

No problem. I'm sure some others will come to me.

Think what the site needs more than anything sean is a section reviewing boxing literature.

Castillo Corrales 1 final round (8?)

To echo Scott - Campbell-Peden is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, in or out of a boxing ring.

And jeff - if someone will send me books I'll happily review them in great depth

Screw you oxy, you're stealing my gig

Thanks very much, Seanus.

Marciano knocking out Jersey Joe?

[quote="88Chris05"]Sorry, Seanusarrilius, but apparently I can't use this certain file type on v2. So that means I'll have to copy and past the time line I've written up for you. Let me know when you've got it saved at your end and then I'll delete the post, as it will clog up the page with its length otherwise! Only goes up to 1999 as that is when Mullan passed away, but I'm sure you'll ideas about what needs to be added. Here you go.

got it buddy and thank you

Sean your probably the person to ask but how good is Gary Russell jr? He looked sensational at the weekend.

Cheers Sean, took some serious typing so hope it fits the bill!

Haven't seen people rave so much about a boxer in a long time.

I'm going to see what clips I can find.

Takes a lot for me to get impressed about a relative novice Scott but he really does look the part

My magic moment would be Tyson being koed by Douglas. As much as I was upset at my hero being dropped, the feeling of disbelief that shot through my body at the site of the mighty Mike Tyson, this ferocious beast, looking human stunned me.

My only concern with Russell is how hard he can dig. Had hand injuries before - these could prove a problem in time.

and still...... underfeated, george groves

Pfft! Get on board the hype train!

he is defo being hyped scott, with all up and comers it will be a matter of how he performs against better opposition. HBO were very impressed with him altho not impressed enough to make the HBO Khan card mroe than a 1 fight show.

eddyfightfan - that was a classic wasn't it. I will be using loads of these in the coming weeks. Cheers

Just to add to the list of magic moments - Frank Warren's face after any of his fighters lose - eg Warren's face when Fury finished laying a whupping on Chisora. Face like a slapped bum.

Priceless.

Honeyghan sparking out Curry. Always a favourite!

if you're looking for real magic moments I guess, ali foreman, douglas tyson are two of the greats.

Chavez taylor for great comeback and controversy

for bizarre moments you have:

simon brown getting sparked by (vince pettway I think?) and still boxing whilst out on the floor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wNrB_V3PFc,

and the double knock down followed by jelly legged ko in bundrage v powell 1.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV74hVB2Atc

and someone posted this tony Booth ko a few weeks ago that had me in stitches:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXuBML8C61c

thank you milkyboy for the Tony Booth idea, you have been credited appropriately

Corrales v Castillo I Round 10

After Corrales being down for the second time, with a point deduction.

Joe Goosen "You better f**kin get down on him now!"

He looked great and lots of people are waxing lyrical about him, i will probably be doing a one to watch segment on him soon mate, early to tell but he is defo one to keep an eye on. Handspeed all day long

He will defo have to take on some bigger tests but he is the closest boxer I've seen to Meldrick Taylor

Be interesting to see how he fairs against credible opposition, he's fought 16 tomato cans and Estrada (good W column but limited experience) so far. Good amateur pedigree though and certainly looks exciting, if untested. Hopefully as he's still young he'll still be in the division if/when Donaire moves up, that could be a cracking fight!

That Joe Goosen comment when he was putting in his gumshield always makes me get a little giddy.

Haha I know, only cos you know whats coming next . I can remember watching with me mates saying Corrales was going to win and after the 2 knockdowns I thought it was over. Quality

Is Joe Goosen still training?

Clicked on this thread with the intention of mentioning Corrales-Castillo, but been beaten to it. That performance showed guts and determination in its purest form.
