I mean, what are some out there that're weird and made you scratch your head?
I'm talking DLH/Hopkins, Ali's phantom punch... paul Brigg's head pat KO... lemme have them.
Doesn't have to be recent, could be whenever
Luisito Espinosa KO1 Khaokar Galaxy
Galaxy was 24-1 at the time, bantamweight champ and a national hero in Thailand. He gets hit with a body shot, then about 20 seconds later falls for the count. It's never really explained what happened here.
It looks to me as if Galaxy was also hit hard on the forehead coming in, about 3-4 seconds before he collapsed.
Anyone post this one yet? Probably the weirdest thing I've seen (Norwood vs Gainer KO)...Go to 4:05 for total weirdness
:haha: the whole clip is classic :rofl: now i wann watch the full fight.
battle of the low blows hahahahah!
and wtf, 19 count?? :thinking:

I remember Norwood and Gainer very well, in fact mentioned it in a post a couple of months ago. Probably the dirtiest fight I've ever seen. Never before saw a ref hold a fighter and allow the other guy to so blatantly KD him, as in this fight. Gainer should have been DQ right away. Norwood stayed down to try for that DQ which didn't happen. Bad ref. Boxers miscalculate all the time. Cintron did against Williams.
Haha wow, two thoughts:
A) The camera work was great to immediately zoom in on the ref's face.
Yeah, you can even see the ref's eyes cross! Not funny, but...lol
B) How funny would it be if the word "Banzai!" was written next to his face in a bubble?
There were at least a couple of versions of this clip on Youtube. I chose the shortest. One had little stars added over the ref's head as he lay there cross-eyed. People are f*cked up. lol
The way he got caught in between the ring and a table was strange. Also the how it happened at the last second was special.
LOL!
he looked like he was sitting down to dinner on the ring apron. the announcer's table was his seat.
smart casual
zab judah vs mabuza...that stupid move by mabuza when he got judah in the corner and suddenly switched stance at close range and then got countered by a left hook:D

Does a ref getting knocked out count?

The KO's pictured so far have been good, rare and "funny" (if any KO can be called funny) but in my opinion not "strange".
My concept of a strange KO is Lamon Brewster over Wladimir Klitschko, totally against the run of the fight and against Klitschko's well known MO. Brewster had been taking a bad beating for 4 rounds and had been KD'd in the 4th seriously enough for the ref to stop it. Suddenly Klitschko began to falter and stagger drunkenly around the ring and stop defending himself.
Another equally strange is the Harold Johnson-Julio Mederos fight, always referred to as the "poisoned orange" fight. Johnson, 15 lbs lighter than the full heavyweight Mederos, had beaten him easily a year before and was a far better fighter in every way, for many, an All-Time Great. In the second rd. Johnson suddenly collapsed without being hit, and couldn't continue, He was found to have barbiturates in his system, and, although claiming he was drugged, was suspended for 6 months. He said that the last thing he remembered was during the rd break, sucking on a piece of orange, whic tasted very bitter. Johnson is one of the best ring masters in history, although often forgotten today.
When Roy Jones got KTFO and layed on the canvas for about 20 minutes while they petted his head. LOL
When Bhop KO'd Oscar with a belly slap. Oscar had the strength to pound on the canvas repeatedly but not no strength to stand up.

Special, yes, I agree. I'd forgotten how fast Briggs' counterpunching had been.
I thought it was a good KO by Briggs He was catching him beautifully with a solid, fast right hand every time LIakhovich threw a combination, and you could see from the middle of the rd that he was wilting.
Not strange.

When Julio Diaz got KOd by Juan Valenzuela. That was pretty head scratching.
Wasnt the KOTY candidate from last year pretty weird? The 2 Borricuas going at it on Solo Boxeo?
