I just finished watching the Gatti/Mayweather fight on HBO and thought I would ask the question... Which is worst and humiliating, being KOed with one punch or being beat into submission from an accumulation of punches.
Which is Worst and Humiliating?

all depends on the circumstances
nothing wrong with being beat by one punch if you were already losing the fight...
BUT it is pretty bad to be winning a fight then stopped with a single punch
if you are just being thrashed round after round, it is probably more embarassing because it is over an extended period of time...at least with being KOed with one punch...one can just say "oh well, that's boxing! anything can happen with a single punch"
but to be humiliated round by round...basically showing the crowd that you are helpless and there is nothing you can do while being punch-****d...then I would go with the round by round beating... -
I agree except flip the one-punch thing around for the same reasoning you gave. If he gets a lucky punch in after I had been beating him for five or so rounds, then **** happens, but if I get KO'ed in a bout I'm already losing by a single punch then he's better than me, and I have a glass chin.Originally posted by TyrantT316all depends on the circumstances

The beating Gatti took is far more embarassing, in my eyes, than any one-punch KO. He looked like a little kid being beaten by an abusive father. There was nothing he can do about it. I give him credit for standing in for six rounds of that kind of punishment, but that was brutal.Comment

1 punch, depending on the circumstance I don't think is nescesarily humiliating at all. Everybody knows what pain is, and understands that getting hit with this monsterous left hook off balance could kill them, so they can justify their fighter getting knocked out. Getting out worked, out punched, and basically humiliated like Gatti was in the Mayweather fight was much worse. He got knocked over the ring non-stop and hardly laid a finger on him.Comment

its more humiliating to get beat down by a bunch of punches, because it shows you were the inferior fighter. a better fighter can make one mistake and get ko'd by a big puncher, but lose in the rematch. if you get beat down, then it proves you are inferior. we know floyd is better than gatti because he beat him down in every round. however, when rahman ko'd lewis, everyone knew who was better, and lewis proved it in the rematchOriginally posted by MerovingianI just finished watching the Gatti/Mayweather fight on HBO and thought I would ask the question...

both are embarrasing, come to think of it, losing is embarrasing period. but i suppose one punch is worse, cause it looks like your chin is inferior.Comment

I watched it as well, and I can see that it would be humiliating but at least he nevr went down. Well he never really went down but no matter what Mayweather couldn't hurt Gatti. If Gatti had the speed of Mayweather he would have destroyed him.Originally posted by MerovingianI just finished watching the Gatti/Mayweather fight on HBO and thought I would ask the question...
