Weirdest Moment in a brit ring IYO

[Adamj1987]

What moments stick out in your mind when someone asks you the starngest or weirdest moment in a brit boxing ring

what comes to my mind is the game of statues Junior witter played against demarcus corley it was very stange - at least to me

[Adamj1987]

When that blokes mother came in and started bashing his opponent with her shoes. That was the weirdest thing that will ever happen in a British ring.
She actually won the fight for him too, as the other chap was disqualified for not wanting to continue.

To top that you'd need a talking dog at the very least.

i'd seen that but only on a tv clip show so didnt know what country it was from

[Ash-Weston]

yeah that Witter thing with Corley was just ridiculous. But mine has to be Darkie Smith jumping on the ring whe his son fought Hatton and then proceeded to go balistic and assault the referee costing Stephen Smith the fight by DQ and effectively ending his sons promising career

He didn't assault the referee. The DQ came cos he entered the ring.

That was funny. I believe that was Tony Wilson's mom.

Martin Rogan not going after a hurt Sam Sexton stands out for me.

Rogan showed massive inexperience as Sexton was there for the taking.

i dont think it was the weirdest moment....Rogan was just a bit thick and forgot what he was doing. the 'controversy' surrounding it was the weird part.

for me, the weirdest thing was Barry Michael's ear (anyone?)

[terrdilk]

Getting announsed you have won a place In a final an won a fight then then getting told sorry we got it wrong you got beat

Yes i remember that,was it a saturday afternoon show against rocky lockridge

Getting announsed you have won a place In a final an won a fight then then getting told sorry we got it wrong you got beat

That was ridiculous. I had you the clear winner. Stubbs had a lot of support there that night.

[junior pepa seed]

Wrong....it was the Lewis rematch in America

[stujones]

Ojay Abrahams trying to kick Brendan Ingle was a strange one!

[whicker]

Hardly his fault, though. He did win the fight on the scorecards, it wasn;t his fault they cocked up the announcment- he was denied his moment of glory, too.

[coneye]

Paratrooper landing in the ring ,, Riddock Bowes manager , jumping on the apron and grabbing Goloto by the neck from behind , if i remember did'nt Bowe kick him or did i dream that bit

Gomez quiting mid round.

[David Walshe]

Gomez quiting mid round.

Was at that fight, strange fight, he just turned picked up his ball and went home, you could hear him saying i'm not playing with you any more i'm bored.
No really, Gomez was not prepared for the fight, even tho he nearly knocked down the dressing room wall to get out into the ring, but once the fight started he just had no idea what he was doing in the ring and decided to quit. Shame because most at the fight wanted to see Gomez more the Bernard Dunne who was the main fight id say.

[David Walshe]

Another one was Lennox Lewis V Derek Williams, When Lewis knocked him he looked over to his corner as if to say "has the cheque cleared cos im out of here" Was a real farce in my opinion. Derek looked like he just wanted an excuse to leave, and i was ring side looking straight into his face.

[ERIC GUY]

seen so many

Bobby Frankham against Sims, Ritchie Davies disq Frankham...

Eubanks 1st fight in London jumping over the top rope at wembley conf centre, and John Morris from the BBBofC shouting out, 'I aint having any of that'


Boxing MC announcing fighters ringside at Lewisham , Gary Mason, and Terry Marsh, saying, welcome into the ring, Gary Marsh,, oops sorry, I mean Terry Mason..................

[bennie]

The leprechaun in the ring at the start of McGuigan-Pedroza was weird.

[oliverfennell]

Wilson-McCarthy shoe incident.

Paul Wesley taking off his robe to reveal stockings and suspenders before fighting Ian Strudwick.

An enraged fan jumping into the ring to throw punches at the victorious boxer after a controversial decision (I forgot who was involved).

Danny Williams' KO of Mark Potter.

Ring collapsing in a Shea Neary fight.

Hide-Bentt street fight, not so much for the fight itself but for the random middle-aged woman imploring them both to "calm down, lads" in a strong Black Country accent.

Samuels-Renda double knockdown.

Tyson ignoring the ref's attempts to stop the Savarese fight and clubbing him to the floor with a forearm...

... followed by his classic "I want to eat his children" interview.

[twenty six]

It has to be Williams v Potter for me, as Oliver has mentioned.
Not necessarily weird, but to see a man fight on with his shoulder dislocated then bang ... knocks his opponent out.
The Abrahams v Rhodes moment was funny rather than weird.
Ojay backing towards the ropes then trying a cute back heel into Brendan's mush ! Thanks for reminding me of that one Stu.
I was also at Steve Smith's fight when Darkie basically ended his lad's career.

Steve Saville Vs Baz Carey 2

A fight between 2 women breaks out at ringside between women, Carey runs over (its between rounds) shouting "thats my mrs" as she's close.
