1991 probably would've been Mercer-Morrison. Ray hit him so hard he gave him AIDS. 1990- Norris-Mugabi over Jackson-Graham and Ruddock-Dokes? 2002- Toney-Robinson was better than Lewis hitting a beaten, tired, half-dead Tyson and shoving him down.
yes, because they are clearly a lot alike shouldn't you be getting your guns ready for the war on meaningless royal figureheads?
I don't know 1991's competition ko's, but few ko's that won the other years, if any, were as brutal as that one.
Jackson/Graham is up there with Foster/Tiger and Robinson/Fullmer in the pantheon of "no fucking way!" KOs
Apparently, a punch landing was all you needed to determine the bout was fixed. Usually, the assumption is that a fight isn't fixed unless you have good reason to believe it is.
I can't take credit for coming up with that one, I read that one somewhere. Seriously though, what a fucking brutal finish. Big shocker, Tony Perez is standing here and slow on the stoppage. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3NYjJchO1Lw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can't see why Norris-Mugabi won over these 2. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OhVi7cH-LaQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uehFuWEkI-Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The Norris KO beating Jackson's is literally insane. Jackson Vs Graham is one of the best KO's of all time, and Norris Vs Mugabi is nothing special imo, he just kind of flops to the floor, already on shaky legs.
I wonder why that is. I'm not familiar with the quality of Ring Mag in the early 90s. Did they have any kind of UK influence? Perhaps they hadn't seen the bout. ::
Pretty sure these were rated by The Ring magazine, and they didn't give out awards in 1991. No upset of the year, no fight of the year, no fighter of the year, no ko of the year
went back to look it up.... and it looks like i am completely off base. there were awards for the other stuff, just not a KO. so..... take no notice of me
