Ryan Rhodes knocking that tosser Gary Woolcombe out was quiete nasty but a bit enjoyable at the same time.

The Tua fight especially, i thought Ruiz was dead.

Apparently Tua is targetting titles next year according to his promoter.
Yeah Tua is fighting in march 2010 Against Friday Ahunanya

Curry vs McCrory (or spelt something like that) that left hook was lethal and when he got up that straight right great shots but Mills Lane should of stepped in

Didnt want to mention it - but the worst I have seen in a long time - is when Ryan Barrett knocked out Femi Fehintola in their fight in Jersey at the beginning of the year.

It was horrible and something I never want to see again.

Glad Femi feels rejeuvenated in his new training regime.

Yep that was the worst I have ever seen.

Henry Coopers over Joe Erskine was pretty brutal too.

James Toney's KO over Charles Williams was a dramatic one.

Good fight that one as well, Williams was an under rated boxer in his day.

And another fight i found, this is what happens when you fight in your pants and trainers.

Yeah Curry helped himself after landing one of the best left hook counters i have ever seen.

Curry could have been the greatest fighter ever but weight making, management issues and a long long amatuer career hindered him massively, and perhaps he didnt have the desire either.

I saw him spar in Birmingham for the Colin Jones fight,.

Curry looked better than Leonard Hagler and Hearns put together, but as a pro he wasnt. Although he unified a division which Hearns never did.
