Gene Tunney vs. Tommy Gibbons

2008-11-08T14:27:53Z

Probert24: mispelling

<fight>22124</fight>

This bout, although against a fading and ageing former light-heavyweight phenomenon in Tommy Gibbons, was probably by far the most important victory of Tunney's career up to date. Knocking out the old light-heavyweight would have been nice for Tunney's reputation, but the fact that he knocked out the man that went the full fifteen with frightening puncher and heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey made the victory spectacular, and it also made the Dempsey-Tunney bout a natural. Tunney, however, didn't go through Gibbons without taking a few shots, and even dazed Tunney with a pair of terrific punches in the eighth. Gibbons held his own in many rounds earlier in the bout, but Gene's persistant attack, combined with his speed, intelligence, and strength caused Gibbons to slow down as the fight progressed. Finally in the twelfth, Gibbons was decked with a right. he arose only to be met with another right that put him out for the count of ten. It was a great victory for Tunney, who was only four bouts away from his career defining moment in lifting the crown off Jack Dempsey's head.

Bernard Hopkins vs. Segundo Mercado (1st meeting)

2008-09-10T08:26:40Z

Probert24:

<fight>9049</fight>
*'''[[International Boxing Federation]] Middleweight Title''' (Vacant title) 
*'''Weights:''' Hopkins 157 lbs, Mercado 158 lbs
 

== Comments ==
* Fought in a bull ring.
* This bout result and lackluster performance of Hopkins has been explained by Mercado getting the hometown benefit of the doubt, and Hopkins not getting properly acclimated to the altitude of nearly 10,000 feet [http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3197314&name=rafael_dan].
* Hopkins was down in the fifth and the seventh.
* Hopkins down in the fifth from a right hand and the knockdown itself was a delayed-reaction, proving that Bernard was in serious trouble by the blow.
* Hopkins down in the seventh, again a delayed a reaction, this time from an uppercut to the chin, and Hopkins tumbles through the ropes head first on his way down. Hopkins holds to gain needed time.
* Hopkins nearly finishes Mercado in the twelfth with a right.
* Mercado remains the only man ever to down Hopkins in a professional bout.
* IBF ranked Hopkins at #1 and Mercado #2.
