    Was The Punch and Recovery Like Ali-Frazier?

    I didnt get to see the fight but will watch it tomorrow. Im listening to everyone talk about the knock down and it almost sounds like when Frazier dropped Ali with that left hook. That punch wouldve destroyed nearly anyone in history but Ali got right up like it didnt bother him at all. I know that Bradley took a knee but it sounds like he only did it for the count. Was the Holt punch as good as Frazier's and was Bradley's recovery just like Ali's? I dont think it was the exact same punch since Holt is a righty but Im just talking about in terms of precise power & recovery

    I would certainly not put it on the same level of the Frazier knockdown, but it has a helluva shot that would have stopped most 140lbers, and Bradley got up like it was nothing.

      it was one of those punches where you see the guy's body go limp and unconcious before he hits the floor but than he slams his back on the floor and just wakes up clear headed

        I don't know if it was like the Frazier hook but it was loud as hell and wudda ended most jr welterweights. Bradley looked more pissed than hurt.

        Holt looks like an ass now running his mouth before they touched gloves. He fought like a ***** in the middle rounds...

          It was more like Librado Andrade-Yusaf Mack. Nice head-snapping hook but the visible effects don't match the OMFG quality of the punch.

            I kind of thought it did have that quality...

            Bradley's head rolled and his eyes did the same it looked like. For a split second, I thought the fight was over.

            Bradley is a really smart dude... the knockdown, get up and take a knee to recover was genius on his part.

                If ANYONE else at JR. Welter were to take that left hook and go down like that I doubt they would get up.

                  it was a hellacious punch that holt threw, but bradley got up like it was nothing and he even had the presence of mind to take a knee to recover even when he was perfectly cognizant.

                    Joe Frazier's knockdown of Ali in the 15th is so overrated. It was one of the widest left hooks I've ever seen, it was a flash knockdown. Ali fell because he had no energy he was pretty rusty after all.
