Acts of Graciousness in the ring

[Smashing]

We have a saddest moment in the ring thread...so i thought i'd counter with great moments of goodness.

mine was when Tyson Ko'd a boxer (cant remember the other fighters name) ref stops the fight... straight away while the fighter is still dazed lying down Tyson walked over to the fighter and picked him up off the canvas...it was a real nice gesture of respect

He did that to all his opponents in his early days, apart from Michael Jack Johnson and Tyrell Biggs (because he didn't like them personally).

[Zab Super Judah]

he did it to the black rhino

when Paulie Ayala beat Johnny Tapia in their first battle, Johnny Tapia lifted Paulie Ayala himself in admitance that he had won and put on a great fight.

Max Schmelling done something similiar in his first defence of the heavyweight title. He carried his opponent over to his corner

Ward and Gatti in their post-fight interview following their first fight.

Zab Judah (against Cory Spinks), Glencoffe Johnson (against George Jones) and Emanuel Augustus (against Ray Oliveira) showing concern and asking their refs to stop their fights.

He does that everytime he loses. Mike Tyson did that to Clifford Ettienne. That looked scary, I dunno why.

Probably just watching gatti and Ward try and kill each other, and at the end of the fight they just hugged and realised what a fight they had just given the world.
