There have been some crazy fights over the years in which I couldn't remember the details.
I was wondering if anyone had more details on these fights:

1. A fight in the 1970's where a fan walked into the ring during the middle of the action and just sort of wandered around. Was that the Zarate-Zamora fight?

2. A fight on HBO in the 1980's where one guy is battering the other guy and the referee jumps in to stop the fight. As he does this, the guy getting hammered throws a punch over the referee's shoulder and decks the other guy. The guy who got decked is declared the winner by TKO. He may have even been out cold.
Does anyone remember who the two guys were?

3. A fight in the either the late 1970's or early 1980's where one guy got knocked out of the ring. He somehow was underneath a table and had trouble getting out and I believe was counted out. The fight may have involved Wilfred Scypion, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone remember who the two fighters were ?

The third one was Scypion-Hamsho; Scypion was the one knocked out of the ring. I'm not sure about the other 2, although I clearly remember #2, just not who was involved.

First one was Zarate-Zamora, as you say. The fan marches into the ring, then lines up like a King Fu artist before the police, after initially looking a tad pensive, rush him and rough him up.

Second one was John Meekins against the Ugandan Mohammed Kawoya.

Certainly right on 2 and 3.
I have forgotten the Zarate v Zamora incident, I must watch it again.

Woller

Yup!

Shortly after the first round began, some looney ran into the ring in his underwear.

Within moments, what looked like a SWAT team was in the ring, and they beat his ass.

Here is video of the full Zarate-Zamora fight:

Soooooo funny.

Thanks for filling in the blanks, guys.
There have been a lot of crazy things over the years that you don't hear much about anymore.

How about Frank "the Animal" Fletcher's mom jumping up and down and screaming hysterically at his fights?

James Scott's televised fights at the prison that he was serving time in?

WBA welterweight champ Marlon Starling getting knocked down by a punch from Tomas Molinares after the bell and breaking his leg. While being interviewed after the fight, he was talking with the interviewer (the great Larry Merchant I believe) for about a minute before Merchant made a reference about him being counted out. Starling was shocked to learn this. He thought he had won by disqualification!

The fight was later changed to a No-Contest. However, the WBA somehow declared a fight between two other fighters to be for the title!
