When Rahman knocked out Lewis

[Boxing Goat]

Since we're going back a few years, IMO, this topped it:

The Poisoning!

I think Wlad is superstitious. He has never lost once switching to the white puma shoes Emanuel gave him to use.

I fucking jumped up over my coffee table, stumbled around, lit a joint and ran 4 times round my house. That was some moment.

Great moment for Rahman but do you think it was a lucky punch? Rahman got white washed in the rematch.

We have brunettes too! And Redheads.

We do not discriminate here in this great, free country of ours.

There's a little somethin somethin for everyone.

Yes, it was. And a good one. Lewis wasn't focused/motivated. As I said, I literally jumped over my coffee table and went nuts.

It was a shock, that's for sure. Was even better to see Lewis avenge the defeat in such devastating fashion. Arguably one of the best HW knockouts.

The HBO commentary did it for me:

"BOOM"

"Will Rahman get up? Or have the tables been turned?"

If I recall, even the HBO lead in for the fight was talking about how Lennox was not taking the fight seriously. He broke camp to shoot Oceans 11 and didnt get to South Africa until a few days before fight. Whereas Rahman was there for like a month running thru some slums in SA and had all the country behind him

I remember I was looking at my CPU screen because I figured the fight would continue going the way it had (snooze fest.) Then boom, I had to catch the replay. I was like ain't that a b.itch

Rahman was trying to impose the rumble jungle Ali factor in Africa while Lewis was busy superstarring it in hollywood.
