Ustinov vs Maurice Harris... DIVE OF THE YEAR!

[jas]

harris looks like a floyd wannabee

and that is not a dive at all

scott one was way worse

It was a legitimate knockout. The force of the compressed air as the glove completely missed the head must have exerted severe pressure to the top of the head, rendering the poor guy unconscious.

when you put it that way it makes sense to me now. It was the bilateral symmetry of the binomial nomenclature...

wilder hit scott's gloves. Ustinov swung over his head...

[-Kev-]

Okay look i'm gonna swing right over your head and miss, you're gonna fall, no one in attendance or those watching on TV or Youtube will notice. Not even in slow motion or different angles. We got this.

I can't speak for anyone else but I clearly saw the punch graze the top of Harris's head. You even see his head move as the glove passes over it, and that would take some damned good acting considering there was no way for him to see the shot. Any punch to the back of the head is going to discombobulate someone, hence its illegality, so it's not impossible for a big man like Ustinov to knock someone out that way. Besides, he was hitting Harris with some heavy leather before the knockdown, any one of which punch could have seriously hurt Harris had it landed. Dives generally don't look like that (see Wilder vs Scott).

Off topic, but does anyone think that Ustinov looks like a fat, balding Wlad? Whenever I see him fight I can't help but think of Ustinov as a Wlad who's really let himself go.

[Fury4daWIN]

i think he also has fake shoulders

And I thought Arreola had the best ******* in boxing. This guy would win a breast off every time.

I'd like to see you take a punch to the chin by a 300lb man.


I bet you would fall to the floor too and probably end up in the hospital.



Ustinov has Krushing power. He got outboxed by Pulev and Pulev obviously got destroyed by Wlad, so, you can say that Wlad had a lot to do with this knockout and he should definitely get some credit.


Respect, and I hope Harris is okay, he looked like he got hurt bad.

If the punch actually landed cleanly then you might have a point. But it didn't.

[Ryn0]

He never hit him...

Turn the speed down to 0.25 at 2:07 he absolutely hit him on the back of the head and Ustinov punches reasonably hard.

I can fully understand people's scepticism, but if you're going to take a dive wouldn't it make more sense to take a punch that you could see coming and brace for? Not to mention not take another dozen shots to the same area from a known hard puncher beforehand?

More importantly, why would Ustinov or his handlers need a fighter of Harris's level to take a dive for them? Was there big money riding on a first round knockout? That might shed light on the situation.
