Yeah I remember reading about a fight where a guy was getting beaten up and his wife got into the ring and start bashing his opponent over the head with a high heel shoe. Can't remember who it was though.

It was his mother, british fight, but cant remember the guys name - quite a few on here will though.

Read about double knockouts. That guy that had to quit because he needed a shit. Not sure if they beat "the fan man" though.

Tony Wilson v Steve McCarthy.

In Southhampton, England on September 9, 1989, Tony Wilson fought Steve McCarthy. On the third round Wilson was knocked down and he was able to get up before the 8th count. He was then bombarded by McCarthy on the rope. The referee seemed to stop the fight by TKO, but wait... a lady, later known as Milna Wilson, Tony Wilson's mother, entered the ring and smashed his son's opponent's head twice with her high heeled shoes.

The referee suspended the fight for awhile to let the security guard Mina Wilson get out from the ring, then asked both fighters to continue the fight. Shocked and confused, McCarthy refused to continue the fight which made the referee decide Tony Wilson's victory by TKO in round 3.

At the beginning of Malcolm in the Middle where is a bizarre scene where an amateur boxer swings and misses his opponent and knocks the ref out.

Tyson vs. Savarese at Hampden Park, Savarese goes down and Tyson is battering him with what looks like nothing punches, the ref gets in between them and Tyson smacks him a couple of times accidentally, the ref takes them, remains standing and they crowd starts chanting something along the lines of 'Put the ref in, put the ref in'. Can't believe the ref took those punches that felled Saverese.

WHen Limond floored Khan and Amir was nearly out on his feet, seeing Amir's Dad whacking the advertising hoarding across the outskirts of the ring and just about climbing in the ring with a look of absolute horror.

I was thinking about that one. Yeah, Moran was down for a bit, everyone was in the ring and Hobson walked over to the girlfriend who went BA Baracus on his ass. Think that lasted longer than the fight

Another sickening one I remember (but can't remember the name) where a guy got stopped by the ref and then sparked the winner of the fight while he was speaking to somebody in the ring afterwards. I'm sure that one will be on youtube somewhere.

Didn't he really hurt the fighter, like broke his jaw etc, I think I remember someone talking about it on here.

Zudah's antics after his loss to Kostya Tszyu. But also Judah's little dance when he got up and trying to tell the ref he was ok.

The shenanigans in the ring during the Zudah vs. Mayweather fight.

Yeah, Judah put his glove up to the refs chin and threw a chair across the ring from his corner. He was fined and banned afterwards for a while.

Don King's hairstyle.

Even after all these years it's still fooking bizarre. If he was to enter himself as an exhibit he'd win the Turner Prize

More recently, the mid-fight brawls between the Mayweather clan and the Judah posse was quite eye-opening, to say the least. Was also much more entertaining than the 12-round fight that bookended it!

Without doubt, and I'am suprised it has'nt been brought up yet...
