The worst refereeing you'll ever have the misfortune to witness.

Jesus, refs were brutal back then

Literally didn’t give a flying fûck for the fighters.

Fookin eck. Makes Cooney-Norton and Mercer-Morrison look like early stoppages

Kid Gavilán knocked an overmatched opponent out of the ring. Can’t recall his name but he looked to be carrying him.

Rocky and thunder lips both exited the ring

Gorblimey !-How could you Brits could have ever forgotten this one ?(1942)
and held out-doors because there was a "Bleedin' War going as well.
You must be loosing Y'alls collective memory or somethin'.

same fight-different angle !

here's a well known incident (1941)

The most famous one?

Definitely

Dude hit the back of his head on the edge of the un-padded Ring apron bar, but still got back in ring wanting to continue.

yassine el machi beat junior in that fight, won the tournament, and never fought again

anyone know why he never fought again?

that was one of the best/biggest spills, although funnily enough no punch involved

There is a terrible knockout that someone posted years ago where a fighter turns and runs to a corner, climbs on to the corner post and is then clocked by his opponent and goes head-first over the corner post and out of the ring.

In this case.. tossed out.

here's a good one.
Bert Whitehurst gets knocked out of the ring by Sonny Liston in the last 15 seconds of the 10th and final round
with just 12 seconds to try and get back in the ring and go the distance
although it sounded like the bell rang 3 seconds too early.
You be Da Judge !
