Quiz: Quickest KOs Ever?
re
Actually, the Ketchel-Papke fight went on for about twelve rounds, or so...I'm guessing. I know that it went for a number of rounds after Papke sucker-punched Ketchel and Ketchel stated afterward that he didn't remember any of the fight, but it showed his heart and will to go as long as the fight did.
barry..you're right and thanks for the quick correction . i really blew this one....consider it my thanksgiving turkey post. i've written about this fight many times and know better. it went 12 rounds and just as you said ketchell was in a fog all the way.
takes me down a notch in my informal title as historian here. let's just say the cable is still attached but sometimes my mind doesn't get a picture.
in the rematch just a couple of months later ketchell regained the title with a 12 round kayo, and i've read read reports that ketchell deliberately dragged out the fight to give papke a real beating instead of knocking him out early. but then, i've also read reports that elvis is alive and having conjugal relations with liberace.
where was i..oh yes..they also fought a 20 rounder the next year (ketchell and papke, not elvis and liberace) which ketchell won by decision.
(memo to myself..check ..then check again...before spouting historical data.)

Don't worry Jaclem, everyone has laspses in thought every now and then...in my case quiet often. Ketchel and Papke had a nice series, but personally, I like Ketchel's bout with Joe Thomas...I really wish I could go back in time and witness it!

yeah hatcher was well and truly gone honeyghan actually showed some mercy there cos hatcher's lights were well and truly out.MightyWarrior wrote:I was in Marbella for the Honeyghan/Hatcher 45 second knockout. It was in an open air bull ring and was postponed for a day, due to an electrical lightstorm.
Should've been even quicker, as Hatcher was "out" when he got up from the knockdown, but the ref let it go on till Honey himself stopped it, by turning away after battering an unconcious Hatcher, propped up on the ropes - then the ref stepped in.
Worth the wait? Hmmmm well my mate didn't think so - first ( and last! ) time he ever went to a fight.
He turned to me and said "Is that it?!"

Well the French have always loved the great black American sports stars, going back to the days of Ray Robinson and Jesse Owen. They were often featured on the covers on French magazines like Paris Match etc.hitman_hatton1 wrote: yeah hatcher was well and truly gone honeyghan actually showed some mercy there cos hatcher's lights were well and truly out.

Real sporting icons in France.
The Spain connection came through all the Brit tourists out there. The Marbella fight I went to was in the summer, when 1000's of UK tourists are out there.
Bruno was scheduled to appear on the Honeyghan undercard, I've still got the poster. He pulled out for some reason.
I seem to remember Terry Lawless and Mickey Duff had "friends" out there, who might have helped promote the event. I think the the post fight party was held at the restaurant of a London East End character, who had fled the UK for..... "personal" reasons. 8) 8)
