This is your early Knockout of the Year in 2012 via super middleweight Adonis Stevenson, one punctuated by a somewhat sickening reaction from Ernesto Gonzales, what with his arms stiff above his head and twitching. This was what Gonzales got for using the pre-fight hype to highlight Stevenson's criminal past from 1998, which features its own bit of sickening: Stevenson, "a rising boxing star, was arrested in November as part of a gang which forced young girls into prostitution. For entertainment, Adonis would make the girls box each other in the nude. When there was no champ, he'd administer the K.O. blow himself."
The other big (leaping) KO was from Thomas Dulorme, one of the many subjects we'll discuss in this week's Weekend Afterthoughts. Oh, and usually I elaborate a lot on the immediate post-fight results posts for the weekend's biggest bouts, but we had so much good discussion in the comments sections of those entries that I don't see the need to do so. Check them out here and here. (And Andrew Harrison's post, here.)Read more |
