Last big fight to end in a DQ?

[JC]

There's probably a really obvious one I'm forgetting but I can't think of any in recent times off the top of my head.

Thought of several in the 90s: Holy vs Tyson, Bowe vs Golota, Jones vs Griffin.

And then Abraham Dirrell in 2010.

Crocker v Donovan

Winner!

Not a big fight but just remembered Kash Ali - David Price

Also Stephen Smith - Ricky Hatton. RIP Darkie Smith

Crocker v Donovan

Must be

Wasn’t on my radar, that one.

Not the last but sadly topical, for both corners,

Ricky Hatton vs Stephen smith

Browe has three wins by DQ Golota x2 for low blows and Tillery for a kick.

Andre Dirrell had two both for getting hit after the bell.

I’m sure the old timers with 150+ fights would have had quite a few on their records. But those two are unusual for modern times, I think.

The most obvious case of someone who should have been DQ’d but wasn’t I can remember was Derry Matthews vs John Simpson.

I haven’t watched the fight since but, from memory, the fouling was very blatant and persistent. I thought at the time Micky Vann would have DQ’d him if he wasn’t the home fighter.
