I wondered why Sanders was laughing.
He certainly wasn't laughing just prior to the stoppage -- got hit with some serious punches there.

Wow!
The slo-mo replay is at 3:15. Perfectly timed counter left cross.

I bet when HBO joined this fight "in progress" live.If some of the viewers thought it was fake ass bull sh*t,
the way Carlos DeLeon(a former Cruserweight Champion) was acting
after he got off the canvas from the first knockdown ?Clearly watching the slo-mo replay,that was not the case.
You know I wonder if Jack Dempsey ever had a mustache ,if Corrie Sanders would have been later more popular then he was with the general public.
What do you think ?

Corrie Sanders vs Curtis Shepard (no relation to the Hatchetman,as far as one can tell anyway).
and another terific counter-left in the boxing career of Corrie Sanders.
(Curtis Shepard may have said these words shortly after he hit the canvas
"Did anybody get the licence plates of that vehicle that hit hit me ?"

Wow -- Sanders was an expert at slipping the big right and cracking in that counter left!

watch it again. i remember i thought the same but then
looked at it again and actually had the feeling that vitali
had way more trouble than anyone would have expected.
and while it was a clear ko one could see vitali several
times in non too elegant backwards mode.
Don't worry about it.. Saad is the most fervent Klitschko hater here.. He'll put the worst possible spin on any Klitschko thread that he possibly can. The fight was competitive and entertaining, but you knew by the 4th round that a KO stoppage in favor of VK was inevitable. Sanders took a savage beating that finished his career as a top Heavyweight. He had 4 fights in the next 4 years against no names.

I don't see any difference in the 36-year-old Sanders... Except that he was more experienced, a better boxer, took his time more and picked his shots better.

it look to me liked his legs aged some 20 years in just 10 years time.
btw the Tisdale fight was the fight before he fought Wladimir Klitschko,
perhaps no wonder they figured they'd give him a shot at the title.
bbtw who thought at first that was Teddy Atlas there in the one screen cap ?
