What fights were TOO violent?

[Mike_b]

I'm curious to hear your answers... I would say Tito vs Vargas was a tad bit too much in violent history, a fight of fistic fury of epic proportions. Also the Deontay wilder ko of Dominic brazeale, he did not have to hit in THAT hard lol, I'm not complaining though it was a brutal/ nice kayo!
In second place, maybe the Tyson vs Lewis fight was also not for the light hearted. Lennox darn near almost murked him and cut him with vicious lacerations above the eyes.

I can't wait to hear your answers from the years past! Go! I mean not just boxing, straight up wars!!!

I guess you could say Pritchard colon vs that dirty american fighter can't remember his name. Too much rabbit punching put poor Pritchard in a life altering and vegetative state. Not sure what the mindset of the American fighters headspace is nowadays, but I remember hearing Roy Jones Jr cried and wept when he beat Vinny Paz. Also Deontay wilder cried like a faucet about Pritchard Colin's condition or state. Not a beautiful thing happened there, man. I mean it's gotta take something outta the fighter if he kills or critically injured a man, and not to sound horrific neither I am.

Some on the cusp borderline type wars but not on the too much violence tip would be imo ward Gatti 1 and Corrales Castillo 1

Vlad vs Fury

Not particularly violent by display, but Morrell did put Yerbossynuly in a medically-induced coma.

My bad, read that saying "Non" violent

Corrales vs JLC 1 stands alone

Foreman vs Lyle was humorously violent
Jackson vs Castro (<------was a bloody mess)
Gatti Ward 1
I'm sure there are a bunch of fights from the B & W era that were substantially violent.
The Quick and The Violent....Tyson vs Marvis, Cooney vs Norton

Nigel Benn vs. Gerald McClellan
Mike Perez vs Magomed Abdusalamov

These are the two that come to mind and I blame those men's corners for letting the violence go on too long.

Reminds me of Margarito vs Pacquiao... What was his corner thinking while that eye was being bludgeoned to a pulp? In tonys defense he would die in the ring if he had to, but ultimately his corner did not protect him, just look at Tony vs cotto 2, gruesome unfortunate haunting damage that lingered from the PAC fight,

The Nigel G Man fight was not necessarily violent. Yup, it def had moments. I just don't recall it being prolonged.
The Perez Mag fight was back n forth for a good portion. Both landed "hellacious" shots

The fighter will always want a fight to go on and those on the team who end them will usually suffer off camera.

Guillermo Jones vs Denis Lebedev

A roided up Jones who was walking through everything Lebedev (a big puncher) hit him with like he was superhuman and put on a frightening beating leaving Lebedevs face disfigured & looking like ET

It went from admiration of Jones chin to being so painful to watch. It should have been stopped about 5 rounds prior.
That was one fight I felt almost sick watching.

That fight is a perfect example of why steroids in boxing should not be normalised.
This guy inactive, aged 41 suddenly looking like George Foreman crossed with Michael Myers. I am convinced you could have put a full clip in him that night and he'd have just still kept coming like nothing had happened.
Some guys do not really respond much from steroids, others turn practically turn superhuman which is why I also don't agree on just letting them all take substances.
