When Rothman went down, he managed to scramble up at around "6" and when the count reached "8" I asked him to walk towards me but he could only manage to walk backwards. Fight over! How the hell did he get up in the first place from such a bomb?
You reffed that fight?! Crikey! I watched that on the tele with a friend who wasn't much in to boxing, but he couldn't believe that fight...was screaming at the tele with me!! The finished came out of nowhere. Mind you, how many of the cat's fights were like that....
I remember seeing a clip of Ojay Abrahams vs Geoff McCreesh. McCreesh walked on to a huge left hook as he was throwing his own hook. His body appeared to go limp almost immediately and i think he stayed up by holding on. I had a look on boxrec expecting to see a ko loss on his record for that fight, but instead saw that he won it on points. One helluvah tough fighter!
Will have to try to find the clip from somewhere.
