[Mikhnienko]

although it wasnt on a sustained clip like the tsurkan fight, angulo and yorgey came to mind

i was real close for that one.
real close, coulda tossed a bowling ball into the ring. hartford, CT if i remember correctly.
it sounded like somebody was hitting a heavybag with a baseball bat
worst ref i've ever come across. he let him take a hell of a beating.



some other terrible beatings that i didnt see brought up, contemporary and otherwise:
pacquiao - barerra 1
pacquiao - morales 2
chop chop - mathysse
george foreman - joe frazier
ali - holmes
all things george chuvalo
tua vs ruiz (short and sweet, but still a beating)
klitschko vs arreola (**** that, i'm coming back)
ali - bugner
salvador sanchez - wilfredo gomez



plenty more to come

1st? Chuvalo went dancing with his wife after the fight. Ali was pissing blood the next day...........
