Comments Thread For: Charlo KO1 Lubin Starkly Reminiscent of Tyson KO1 Spinks

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Wasn't the punch Jermell Charlo (30-0, 15 KOs) deployed to knock out Erickson Lubin (18-1, 13 KOs) in the first round eerily reminiscent of Mike Tyson's fight-ending blow, also in the opening round, against Michael Spinks in 1988? Both Spinks and Lubin ran their jaws smack into the punch - a hybrid right uppercut/hook when they made evasive moves by ducking to their left like they were anticipating an incoming right cross.

that was the same type of uppercut RJJ need to put Calzaghe to sleep in Round 1. The only difference is that Charlo's glove landed flush whereas Roy's landed on his wrist.

The reason Roy got that knockdown was because it was the forearm that struck Calzaghe. I've been hit with a similar shot, it's like being hit by an iron bar, similar to the difference to getting kicked with a foot or a shin in Muay Thai.

these types of forearm shot incidents happen all the time in boxing. I'm just saying had it been a clean punch from the knuckle of the glove Calzaghe would've not made the count
