      Yes. I would agree with Oliver Mccall crying like a baby. Also when Andrew Golota got DQ twice for repeated low blows against Bowe. In pro boxing this was a disgrace to say the least. That is how Trinidad beat Vargas, he slowed Vargas down in the beginning of the fight with repeated low blows. The ref never took a point, so he continued hitting Vargas low.

      Bruce Seldon went in the ring against Tyson basically laughing before the fight, not crying like Mccall , now after the fact I see why. 5 million dollars for walking into the ring, and taking a dive in the first round… without even getting hit! But, before that fight after lasting a few seconds with Tyson… McNeeley signs a deal with a pizza company for a commercial as their promotion figure. But, seriously Sergey Lyakhovich vs. Shannon Briggs. When two people are in the ring pretending to be elephants, not boxers that is a disgrace to the sport, and both these bums are shot in my opinion. I never want to see either one step into the ring EVER again.

        I pointed that out in a different thread earlier today. I'm surprised more people don't bring this up, what tito did.

          Roy Jones, Jr. vs. Duk-Koo Kim, Seoul Olympics 1988.
          This. Also when James Butler smacked that guy after losing.

          When the racists attacked Haggler was also a shameful moment. Props to my man for beating the person on his home turf.

            Butler vs Alien

            After "The Alien" took Butler to school on FNF...he went over to give Butler a hug and Butler punched him and broke his jaw (mind you Butler didn't have his gloves on). Butler went on to serve time in prison after Killing Max Kellerman's younger brother. Dude is a disgrace without a doubt.

                It was Max Kellerman that helped get Butlers boxing licence reinstated. Kellermans Brother was helping Butler out with a place to stay at his place till he gets on his feet. When asked to leave for overstaying his welcome, Butler lost control again. So maybe the boxing commission was right about Butler in the first place. I found this out when I was wondering what happened to Max.

                    I saw that fight, and couldn’t believe the ref wouldn’t step in and at least warn Trinidad. The referee needs to enforce the low blow more closely, if the opponent is hit low.. I’m talking Golota low, then take a point or issue a warning, he does it again take a point.. two more times, he is DQ. It is a disgrace to the sport as mentioned when a boxer strategy is to start the fight firing of low blows, knowing the system within the rules will protect him, T won the fight on paper, but NOT on pride.

                    I saw Cornelius Bundrage punch I believe it was Steve Forbes or Walter Wright in the back of the head around twenty times, before the ref issued a warning, then after the warning more blows to the back of the head from Bundrage… What is he trying to do..? He is a pro boxer repeatedly punching the other guy illegal. Then Bundrage next fight after than one just mentioned, not one illegal punch from Burdrage… That tells me he knows exactly what he is doing in the ring, and can control what he is doing like a technician. The illegal blows were no accident. That fact is very evident.

                    With Golota if it wasn’t so obvious.. Like three, ..four low blow combinations in a row.. He would have got away with it all night.

                      Tyson vs. Holyfield. Bites ear off. Biggest stage. Entire world watching. I remember a lot of people, even worse casual fans.... really really pissed after fight. Joke, disgusted...you name it. Not good for boxing.
