Darrol Wilson vs Courage Tshabalala??? What an amazing fight, that is the greatest comeback I have ever seen. The right hand that put him down was HUGE, I thought there was no way he was gonna get up from that. Even after been hurt that bad he still looked so focused when he got up. Size of their hearts and balls was really the difference, when Wilson went down you could see how bad he wanted it and how hard he was trying to get up. When Courage went down you could tell he really didnt want it no more and gave a half ass effort to get up. Great fight... great fucking fight!!!
Yep, classic TNF brawl at the Blue Horizon.
Wilson was able to outlast Tshabalala just like he was able to outlast Shannon Briggs on HBO's Night of the Young Heavyweights card...Wilson taking out the much-hyped Briggs in 3 rounds, and Tshabalala scoring a quick KO on the undercard.
Yes, I have that whole card still on some VHS tape at home. That is where Ruiz gets savagely KOed by Tua
That was a great fight in the good ol days of Tuesday night fights. Courage was a hard puncher with no stamina

This thread is from around 8 years back but definitely worth bringing back to life as I have found a link to the fight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaKvdKX_Tdw Hope you enjoy everyone, let me know what you think.
This is from Wikipedia:
"Wilson had lost, but was still a semi-attraction, and got his second chance when he met once-beaten South African Courage Tshabalala. The two staged one of the most famous fights of the year 1997. In the first round Courage dropped Wilson with a jab 25 seconds into the fight, again demonstrating how chinny Wilson is. Things looked even worse for Wilson when he was dropped again in the third, this time much harder, with a right hand. Courage tried to finish in the forth but Wilson fought back with the heart he showed in the Briggs fight, and leveled his opponent for the count."
