Leslie Stewart once KO'd one of our fighters Garry Hubble. Hubble fell backwards at full stretch incredibly slowly but the amazing thing was...his facial expression didn't change one iota from the time he got hit to the time he hit the canvas at what seemed about 12 minutes later. And he was conscious the whole time. Odd :o

This really is continually the earliest combat this comes to my mind easily assume slow-moving declines to your material :roll:

..bassie...were you at the zale/graziano fight? if so, tell us more. i don't know how else you could have seen it as no film exists. zale did slump to the floor at the end of the round against cerdan. the bell rang and zale couldn't even get to his corner. he was on the ropes and just slid down.

jim braddock/s kayo by louis was a little slow. louis e landed a right and braddock kind of turned and then fell down. i'm not describing it well...but it's not hard to find on tape.

Which fight was it Louis hit someone at the bell & they kind of corkscrewed down to the canvas? I think Buddy Baer?

No one mention Gene Tunney against Jack Dempsey? That took an age.

Gatti falling to the ground in the Gomez fight was epic slow.

Just saw that fight, Joe had him rubbery quite some time before Baer abruptly crumbled.

Last night I happen to come across Vitali Klitschko's "Greatest Hits" on HBO, and the highlights of the Danny Williams fight instantly made me think of this thread. Danny was tap dancing for several seconds before about 3 of his knock downs. He did a Zab Judah chicken dance several times in that fight.
