[Boxing Fight] 10 Greatest Rounds In Boxing History HD
You don't need to be short-legged.
Look at this.
It's man against man in there.
Michael Moore.
Moore says he's been eating sleeper hoping to prove that it was not a fluke against Amanda Holyfield.
Moore landing with the left hand.
Cooper has Moore up against the ropes.
The body shot, right hand.
Moore blocking one right, then he takes it and he's hurt.
Michael Moore.
That fight is over if Joe O'Neal doesn't give him a count.
Cooper over to continue the count.
That's right. By virtue of Cooper not going to the neutral corner, the count was stopped and gave Moore a few extra seconds.
Straight right hand.
Michael Moore.
Bert Cooper.
It's not redounded to any disadvantage at this point. It's called down.
Corrales showed some swelling around the right eye during the last one.
He has done a very good job of keeping himself from being hit too many clean right hands.
Right there you saw him back off just a little bit.
Corrales' shot fell short.
Is that overhand right?
Corrales, I believe, has blood coming from one of his nostrils.
Corrales has been known to start slowly and then build tempo as the fight progresses.
Can't do it against the body attack of Varela.
Now Corrales begins to land the right hand.
And suddenly the drama changes again.
Corrales landing five or six big right hands in this sustained rally.
And another.
Varela appears to be weary trying to weather this storm.
Suddenly at center ring, Corrales takes over the fight with his right hand.
And he's a very, very high champion at the moment.
But he's still fighting Varela off as Varela tries to husband his strength for another assault.
Hey, where's that top ten list on Boxing After Dark?
We may have a new entry here.
This is some kind of action in round five.
Reminiscent of round ten of Holyfield, both won.
The round's over.
Corrales, the last minute of the round.
Holyfield was in his prime.
You hit him and hurt him.
You can see that mouthpiece come out.
And that meant you were in trouble.
And Tim Bradley is the same kind of guy.
Now Tim Bradley's boxing very smartly.
Here comes another right hand.
What is Timothy Bradley made of?
Steel.
They're putting on an amazing show.
We'll see.
He wants to go.
He's fighting.
He's never shown that he's been seriously hurt yet.
The only one, to me, that's been hurt has been Gatton.
He's got him with a short right hand.
Absolutely.
Yes.
But the referee, despite the number of those low blows,
has not taken a point away from Riddick Bowe as yet.
Riddick Bowe will have gone just as far as he's ever gone before
in a professional prize fight.
You can't understand someone being so dirty.
You see Holyfield going down in this round.
And Bowe stuns him with an uppercut.
And set apart by Holyfield.
He's going to stay on his feet.
He's hanging in there.
Rest. Rest with your jab.
Bowe should be taking that kind of advice.
This round should be greeted with a standing ovation at the end.
It's the canvas.
Castillo looking to finish it here.
He goes down again.
Two times here in the tent.
Again, Castillo going back to work.
And if Corrales can get through this round,
the dynamic of the fight has now changed
to the point where he may very well need a knockout.
With a minute 45 to go, he's got a long way to go.
Corrales with the right hand, or at least pushed him back.
That was astonishing.
And he hurts him with a hook.
Corrales comes back.
A straight right.
And now Castillo against the ropes.
Unbelievable.
They're all standing here.
Corrales coming back after being on the canvas twice here in the tent.
And Castillo steps back.
Corrales winging.
Castillo's in trouble.
Wink steps in.
And the fight is over.
And a turnaround to win.
That might be the single most extraordinary comeback within a round
to win a fight that has ever happened.
When Marvin Hagler came out of his corner,
he was carrying with him all the frustrations and broken dreams of his whole life.
And he was going to take them all out on somebody else.
We're underway.
The moment in that fight was in the first ten seconds of the fight.
You know, you couldn't get any more up.
And it went on for the first three minutes of that fight.
There has been no boxing at all.
Just fighting here.
I went to jump right on top of him.
Not giving him time to think.
Not giving him time to use his reach or the right hand.
The combinations were unbelievable.
They just both were just bashing each other
to the point where I felt like sweat coming out of the TV screen.
Now that was the right hand of Tommy Hurwitz.
And it did catch Hagler, but he didn't take a backward step there.
This is still the first round.
Blood on the face of Harmon Hagler again.
We can't quite tell where it's coming from.
Everything was in fast motion.
It was so quickly.
I forgot how many rounds it went.
Writers from the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times
and papers from all over the world,
they've got their mouths open.
This may be the most brutal even round you've ever seen in boxing.
At the end of the first round of that fight,
I remember thinking,
could there ever have been a better round in the history of boxing?
What I did in round nine became
one of the best rounds in boxing's history, you know?
This fighter's just turning back and forth so much,
and I don't know if Arturo's going to fully recuperate from that volley.
So, like, right here, I want to go to the body.
I know he's hurt right here.
And I'm tapping up and boom, right there.
Body shot again. That's a body shot.
When he went down, I'm like, he ain't getting up.
And this knockdown counts.
You can see the look on Arturo's face.
And if you've ever been hit to the body,
it's the worst because you can't breathe,
but your head is working fine.
I have never seen anybody else get up from a body shot like that.
That body shot, that body shot was like a bullet.
And you can even see, like, his body just sort of gave,
and there was this, like, grimace on his face of agony.
Like, you, you know, the second that shot landed,
yeah, I thought there was a good chance maybe, you know, that fight would end.
But then, you know, it's Arturo. Arturo gets up.
He's not going to recover. It's not like a head punch.
He may not be able to recover.
I don't think so.
And Water's going to go right back down again,
right to the body again.
I got through so fast that I even fell down almost,
trying to get him.
Arturo Gaddy refusing to go down as Mickey Ward pounds away.
Was I scared? Yes, I was.
It was so brutal going back and forth
that I remember even sliding down in my chair,
kind of covering my face and peeking through my fingers.
You know, he's throwing punches now like he's never been hurt at all.
And now Arturo's coming back. It's amazing.
Vicious body shot by Gaddy.
Ward nods as if to say, come on.
You know, you don't see rounds like this.
Ward should go right back to the body.
Just imagine if you bought a ticket.
Mickey's eye is bleeding.
This looks like a scene from Rocky.
This doesn't look like a fight.
You don't think that this could actually happen in real life.
You know, you dream of fights like this,
but they're very seldom do they live up to the expectation.
This is even more than you can dream about.
Mickey being Mickey, he comes back with a dirty punch combination.
Stop it, Frank. You can stop it any time.
While I'm shouting, you can stop it any time, Frank.
Stop the fight.
There's a part of me inside that's saying, stop that.
This isn't professional.
You know, I literally was out of control.
Because the fight was out of control.
The crowd was out of control.
The moment was out of control.
Arturo Gaddy's out on his feet.
Frank Capitino's gonna let him keep going.
And Ward is tied.
And there comes Gaddy back.
This should be the round of the century.
You know, every once in a while,
somewhere in my life, someone will ask me,
what's the greatest fight you've ever called?
Or what's the greatest round you've ever called?
Or what's the greatest thing you've ever seen in boxing?
And the answer is, Gaddy Ward won.
Round nine.
I think that'll always be the answer.
