That Moment.......

Froch vs Taylor I managed to avoid the result all day and waited for the replay on ITV. The thing is, I did actually click 'new posts' on this forum out of curiosity but quickly exited before I saw anything. However, my wandering eyes managed to find a bit that said 'Taylor beats Froch'. I was gutted, but still determined to watch the fight later that night. I remember being in bed watching it, then in the last round when he started that big flurry of punches I got out of bed. As soon as he knocked him down, I started going crazy. Jumping up and down. When the fight stopped I genuinely felt happy for Froch. It's crazy, Froch isn't a favourite fighter of mine. But still got my adrenaline rushing around my body. Damn, I stayed up that night, with a really crappy stream. It sorted out around round 2-3, When Froch was getting smashed and knocked down. I was watching the fight in disbelief at how many levels apart the fighters seemed, I was like damn, man. So in my head, after seeing Froch totally outboxed, I couldn't really imagine him winning in my head, even after he got a few of the later rounds. I was hoping he would come out and KO Taylor in the last round, but shit like that never happens with me, Usually when i'm supporting fighters something special doesn't happen. That night, it did. I was amazed when he knocked him down,then KO'd him with 14 seconds to go, I was running about at 4am trying to keep quiet, I actually sprained my thumb somehow and couldn't move it for a few days after the celebrations hahaha. hearing all this makes me want to go watch it again, I might just go do that now. "I'm going back to England Mom, and I'm keeping my title!"

that moment... erik morales turning southpaw against MP in the championship rounds in their first fight... morales was one talented tough son of a gun... That was epic talib, Morales a special special fighter

Lennox KO'ing Tyson with that dull, echoing "WHUMPPPPPP" sound. It was my 1st PPV ever, and my 'return' to watching boxing since the '90s. Time was 4am and I'm just going "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKK!!!! DOOOOOWN YOU GO, FUCKIN STAY DOWN YOU CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Even me mum was chuffed, but she would've wanted a longer fight for the money we spent. :laff2:

another one was ward nailing gatti with a liver punch in round 9 in their first fight... and gatti standing up beating the fvckin count! oh my... those are the type of things that moves a fan like me...

When the blade messed up hearns... viva the blade! He was Tommy's boogie man, & the most classic examples of 'styles make fights' Hearns just couldn't deal with it.. In my opinion, he hurt him a lot worse in the 2nd fight.. You could make an argument for the 1st encounter, on the grounds that it was a lucky punch.. But Tommy got owned over 12 in the rematch, having his nose broken in the early rounds.. In fact, he did well, just to finish on his feet..

For me it would be Holyfield knocking out Tyson. Douglas a bigger upset, but Holyfield was the far superior fighter to Douglas so that does it for me.

Bare in mind, that all this time that I was jumping up and down in my bedroom. I was naked. My neighbors were probably wondering why I was clapping so much.. :ugh: Froch's the most exciting fighter out there, by a long long way.. I'd say, if you keep watcing him, you'll need to reinforce the floor boards.. Your post reminded me of when I watched Benn McClellan.. I don't normally watch boxing in the bedroom, but I didn't want any distractions, so I holed up upstairs.. Virtually the whole country as well as all of the commentators & experts, didn't give Benn a cat in Hells chance.. If I'm honest, neither did I.. McClellan was just coming off back to back KO wins over Julian Jackson, & was considered a pheonominon.. For the 1st round, I just sat on the edge of the bed, perplexed as Benn was punched out of the ring & onto the judges score table.. When Benn managed to survive the round, I thought, it's only a matter of time, sooner rather than later.. But Benn started to fight back, in the most courageous fashion, eventually turning the tables on McClellan for an 11 round KO.. Throughout the last 3 rounds, I was doing exactly the same as you were with Froch, nose to nose with the TV screen, screaming at it & stamping my feet while causing concern downstairs & next door.. Obviously, at the time, I wasn't at all aware of Geralds plight, which unfortunately took most of the pleasure away, but I still went mental that night.. Another time.. Was listening to live commentry of Honeyghan Curry at 4 am on a transister pocket radio.. I just couldn't believe he'd won, & never slept a wink that night.. I refused to believe it, until it was repeated on the TV.. This was b4 the days of satellite...

Tyson gettin KTFO by Douglas when I was a kid. At the time, I may as well have seen a UFO land in my backyard. 1 of those things that was gr8 to witness, but not cuz you think it's gr8, it's just unimaginable.

this is a very confusing thread, do you mean "whats you most memmorable boxing momment?" mine is when holyfield got his ear bitten off by tyson, and the ref goes to holy's corner, and holy is saying "let it keep going, c'mon, i can continue" No it's not.. You sussed it straight away..
