Best 10 seconds in HW history

[likeamulekick]

What do you feel is the most exciting, inspirational, memorable or just amazing 10-30 secs of a HW match. Anything from a boxers will to stay on his feet, epic brawl or just pure boxing talent.

The end of the Rumble in the Jungle.

[Barn]

About 23 seconds into Round 15 of Ali vs Frazier I.

[likeamulekick]

My 3 favorites would be
1. the last 30 secs of round 5 rumble in the jungle when foreman had beat the **** out of his ribs early in the rounds and was swinging in the last 30 secs and Ali smashing him and showed at that point that he was in control of the fight and ends it with foreman in a headlock and ali stickin his tounge out.

2nd would be tyson-thomas knockout, tyson had really worked in the early rounds to knock the iron chined thomas out and really digged deep to end that fight with a ko, just shows how tyson was always in there to finish you, never played it safe with a descision. That kind of tyson was far more focused than any other, id like to see any other fighter with a bowling ball for a head survive that attack

Last one would be holyfield surviving bowes attack in round 10 in the first fight, theres so many great moments from holyfields fights to choose from but those uppercuts he took from bowe were solid and its unreal how he stayed on his feet

These are purely personal and perhaps don't truly rate as the greatest moments in the HW all-time list, but they are still epic in their own way.

Foreman v Moorer. Round 10

Foreman was 46 and close to exhaustion, a mile behind on points and badly bruised around the face as well. Then late in round 10 he rolls back the years and Moorer is brutally launched in La-La land. Just watched it again and the sudden and complete reversal in the fight's direction is incredible. Within 10 seconds Foreman transforms himself from a plodding, ex-champ fighting from memory and taking a cruel beating into a heavyweight king again.

Sanders v Wlad K. Round 2

Sanders did all the big damage late in round one. But the way he ripped through Wlad K in the opening seconds of Round 2 is still awesome. Brutal and exciting finishing from The Sniper that absolutely silences a massive German crowd. As usual, Corrie looks as if he was carrying a few extra pounds!!

Douglas v Tyson. Round 9

Not the hero 'historic' round which is the 10th. But Douglas gets dropped heavily in R8 by one hell of a shot....but somehow recovers when everyone else has crumbled....and comes out for R9 and lands three or four shots straight down the pipe which shock Tyson to his core. That's where Buster one the fight, he shook-off the knockdown and comes back harder and more aggressive than ever before.

[jabsRstiff]

The very last ten seconds of Holmes-Norton.


Joe Louis hurting and finishing Joe Walcott in a comeback win.

Rumble in the Jungle last 10 seconds.

[drunkpunchlover]

Demsey knocking Jess Willard down 7 times in 1 round. Was crazy just to see if he could get up and if he wouldn't get killed.

[Cardinal Buck]

Corrales-Castillo I

[Prince_Pugilist]

It's got to be the Rumble in the Jungle, in the seconds leading up to the KO in round 8, when Foreman was clearly shagging and you could see the intent in Ali's pinches. He was a man of destiny that night in Africa.

The last few moments of Douglas/Tyson were also similarly electric. Both men had been down by then but it was Douglas who just kept coming. I've never seen a fighter with such limited skills, fighting a top level, elite world champion with such tenacity. Douglas was willing to die in the ring that night.
