A BIG problem that we rarely think about when assessing the reality value of a video such as we've seen of Robinson KO'ing all those opponents is......................
I'd bet that they'd already been down a few times before tthe KO and were not in condition to put up a proper defence. So to onlookers it looks like a terrific KO, but in reality, it was just the last few of a series of damaging punches.
The only ones I can be sure the opponents were not ready for a KO were the Foullmer KO, which is deservedly famous and always shown, as well as the 2 Bobo Olsen fights, where he was KO'd literally with a punch or two.
