Thanks for posting this.
There was some good action. Note that it wasn't Walcott's left hook(which he was known for) that knocked Louis down, it was the right hand.

Louis really nailed him with some vicious shots.

This is so weird. I was just going to post about fight one after just watching it. Both amazing, highly skilled, competitive bouts. Great finish in fight two.

I enjoy watching the films of both fights; more tactical affairs than slugfests, but two really skilled practitioners in there. Heavyweight fights between guys with such knowledge of the game and fluidity are an extinct species.
