The "How the fuck did he get up from that!?" thread

[2-0-Sixx]

This isn't necessarily about guys getting dropped/badly hurt, to win, but just the mere fact they got up! Post some examples.


Ike Ibeabuchi vs Chris Byrd
Ike one of the most powerful heavyweight hitters in recent heavyweight times. My god look how Byrd gets up and drooling.

start at 6:20 then go to 8:42 for the slow motion replay



Donaire vs Montiel
Montiel is having a seizure on the mat and somehow gets up at the count of 9
Start at :50



Julian Jackson vs Terry Norris
Jackson one of the hardest pound 4 pound punchers in the history of boxing. How the fuck did Norris even get up?!
Skip to 1:05




Archie Moore vs Yvon Durelle I
44 year old Moore goes down hard in round one. Somehow he gets up. Then gets the shit beat out of him and dropped two-three more times in the first round. Only to come back and win by KO of his own. Amazing fight!

Start at :57



Larry Holmes vs Earnie Shavers. God damn!

Speaking of Ike....

In July 1999, Ibeabuchi was staying at The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas when he phoned a local escort service and had a woman sent to his room.
The 21-year-old woman said she was there to strip and nothing else. She claimed he attacked her in the walk-in closet after she demanded to be paid up front.
"He invites her up to his room and begins to get physical with her," said Christopher Lalli, a Clark County chief deputy district attorney. It got loud enough that people in the adjoining room notified hotel security.
"When they enter the room," Lalli said, "a woman, naked from the waist down, is running toward them."
Ibeabuchi barricaded himself in the bathroom, and police discharged pepper spray under the door to coax his surrender.
Ibeabuchi's defense faced the further difficulty of the Clark County DA's reopening of a similar sexual assault allegation from eight months earlier that took place next door to The Mirage, at sister-property Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.
He was released on bail and placed on house arrest—able to train and fight again until his trial—but he was remanded after two more sexual-assault allegations surfaced in Arizona.
"The troubling thing for us was this was not an isolated incident," Lalli says.
Lalli says the case against Ibeabuchi's crimes at The Mirage was solid. There was physical evidence, eyewitness testimony, a pattern of unacceptable behavior.
"It was evidence you don't have nine times out of 10 in these cases when you go to trial," Lalli said.
Ibeabuchi was deemed incompetent to stand trial and was sent to a state facility for the mentally ill. Medical experts concluded he exhibited bipolar disorder, and a judge granted permission to force-medicate him. Eight months later, 2½ years after his arrest, he was ruled cogent enough to plea.
He entered an Alford plea, conceding the prosecution had enough evidence to convict him while not admitting guilt. Had he gone to trial and been found guilty of rape, he could have received 10 years to life in prison, but instead he got two to 10 years for battery with intent to commit a crime and three to 20 years for attempted sexual assault, to be served consecutively.
Ibeabuchi was paroled on the first charge in 2001 and has been denied parole on the second charge three times. He was denied parole in August 2004, in August 2007, in February 2009 and on May 1, 2012.[6] He is not eligible for another hearing until May 2013, at which time he will be 40. Ibeabuchi also faces likely deportation.
"We felt confident he was going to spend a good chunk of time in prison and then get kicked out of the country," Lalli said.[7]
Since his incarceration, Ibeabuchi has earned two college degrees from Western Nevada Community College: an Associate of General Studies and an Associate of Applied Science in General Business.[8][9]

Not boxing but it's still amazing, looking back it almost seems fixed.

Yeah Ike is a fucking nutcase. Every time he's had a parole hearing he says crazy fucking things so they just want to throw away the key, keep him away from humanity.

He has a hearing in May of this year. Another hurdle is if he gets out he'll be immediately deported to Nigeria.

He's 40 years old so he could probably fight for a couple years. Id like to see Ike vs Kimbo Slice just for the insanity of it happening.


This is a great nugget I found:

Ibeabuchi developed a new persona based on his nickname, "The President." At times when he was being churlish or refusing to complete a simple requirement such as attending a weigh-in, his handlers would appeal to The President's regal nature by convincing him it was the noble thing to do. "There were times when he thought he was really a president," boxing promoter and former HBO Sports executive Lou DiBella said. "He would get into these mental states where he insisted on people calling him The President. It was his alter ago, where 'I am The President,' not of the United States, but maybe the world."

Promoter Cedric Kushner said Ibeabuchi on two occasions had to be literally dragged onto airplanes before fights because of perceived demonic forces.

Once Ibeabuchi wielded a knife during a dinner meeting in New York to discuss a possible three-fight HBO deal. "We were having a fine meal at a nice restaurant," Kushner said, "and mid-course Ike picked up a big carving knife, slammed it into the table and screamed 'They knew it! They knew it! The belts belong to me! Why don't they just give them back.'" "That was a peculiar experience," Kushner said. "That wasn't the type of conduct I expected to romance the guy from HBO. (Ibeabuchi) was like a Viking.​

It can be anything - boxing, MMA, a street fight...whatever!

good thread.

That Montiel was the first to come to mind really. I could not believe he got up, his head was indented from that punch, he was walking with angels and playing the punch the paper game on Price is Right in his mind, then got up, only to get knocked out.

The body shot Ward landed in the 9th round against Gatti in the first fight when he was so gassed already. I have no idea how he got up from that or lasted the rest of that fight.

Bradley/Holt, that last knock down that Bradley gets up from is amazing. His head spun around like Linda Blair and he somehow got up from that

 

[CHRISHOGGALYPSE]

btw, that Pat Barry/Kongo fight was probably the best fight I've ever seen. Maybe the best comeback I've ever seen too

The most amazing part is he actually went in there and was boxing with him just to put on a show, he could of easily ended it in under a minute if he started throwing leg kicks.

But for sure, I thought the same thing when I seen this..one of the hardest punches I ever seen period.

Bas Rutten >>>>

Prime Wand would of KTFO almost everyone with this shot.

lol who the fuck survives a prime cro cop roundhouse to the dome? Not once, but twice!

 

[B-Buzz]

I forget, did he even get dropped by the bottom one? Crazy how Hunt was un-KOable for all those years fighting HWs and Melvin ends up being the one that finally does it, weighing 195 or whatever he was for that fight.
