Blimey at 3.40 it's like you can see the imprint of Tim's glove on Eklund's face!

Yep that's a brutal one, and Eklund must've surely had a broken jaw, if not it sure looks like he does. About the only other time I saw a guy on the canvas like that where I thought for sure his jaw was broken was Hatton against Pacquiao.

Big Anders took some punishment in his career...he really, really did.

Bruno, Witherspoon and Damiani really put it on him and so did Noel Quarless as well...when he stepped up in class he just seemed to freeze a bit and was just way too static early on in a fight as well. I think Tim knew that a fast, explosive start was the way to go; don't let the big guy settle.

He looked truly massive against Frank - perhaps one of the new generation of super-size heavyweights - but he was slow and tenative out of the blocks and although he gave Frank a few shots the KO was always going to happen.

I think things ended badly for Anders as well...died at 52 of a suspected heart attack but alcoholism and a rather isolated lifestyle playing a big part in that early death. What a shame :roll:
