    This YouTube clip is getting a lot of new views and comments. I didn't remember this fight. Tyson knocks him down five times before ref stops it early in the 2nd. https://youtu.be/VFYc5IxrVH0

    Yes, he was the one who fought Tyson back in 2000, he tried to hang in there, but Tyson was just too powerful. I think Julius Francis had something like 23 losses as a pro.

    This incident took place at an event in Boxpark, Wikipedia has given him credit for the knockout.

    Here is a little bit more about the incident from the security company he works for.

    I must say, I haven't seen a punch like that since Buster Douglas knocked out Aaron Rodgers in Tokyo.

    Speaking of Tyson fights, I was watching a few earlier ones. This is his second pro fight. Tyson obviously was a very different man in his earlier days. In some ways, he was more the man he is now. Of course I know this is also very untrue in some ways. He always would go to his opponent right after the fight ended, help them up, talk to them etc. But also, a few times in early fights, he does what he does here right when the guy goes down. Watch the third knockdown. https://youtu.be/ozZUgTZ4u7M

    You never could tell what Tyson would do, he could be very sportsman like at times, and then turn around and be a vicious thug, I guess it depended on what mood he was in. I will say this about Tyson, he should have been the greatest heavyweight of all time, his legs were muscular, his torso his arms, he was built like a package of dynamite and this contributed to his punching power. He could work the body shots and head shots, he was just phenomenal in his prime, he should have never been defeated. The problem is, he self destructed, got into drugs and partying, got into legal trouble, he lost his focus and it caused him to lose fights he should have won easily. If Mike Tyson would have stayed focused, trained hard, took it more seriously, and stayed away from drugs and legal problems, in my opinion, he would have been the greatest heavyweight ever, he was a terminator.

    Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, maybe you should just hang out in the cock fighting thread and calm down for a while.

    As I'm sure you noticed, the guy who gets knocked out is not only being verbally abrasive, but also pushes a different security worker into the metal divider. And based on what I read during a quick perusal online, this incident was preceded by minutes of action.

    What I'm really concerned about right now is my left index finger. Got a cactus sticker stuck in it. It's been driving me crazy for 3 days now.......I can't sleep at night. I wish that Security Guard was here right now.......I'd pay him Big Bucks to go knock out that Damn cactus plant!.......

    It's that one that did it.....over on the left...

    P.S. Notice the fire in the background??.......Notice no leaves on the tree??? WINTER!..... It never stops around here!

    What have you tried to get it out? What do you usually do? I haven't dealt with cactus stickers, but I spent a long time with furniture. Wood and glass. Over the years I combined what my Mom taught me with some survival skills learned on the job, and became pretty good at operating on myself to remove unwanted invaders in and under my skin.

    That was awesome!! Someone needed to step up and say nighty night to that idiot

    Btw that was NOT a sucker punch, the idiot was aggressively walking right towards the guy, and some guys don’t waste their time going back and forth with a trouble maker. it was well deserved.

    Good Punch
    Good outcome

    I've given it thought and decided to do the right thing. I'm voluntarily turning myself in to the Is Cock Fighting a Sport Thread Jail. With good behavior I'm hoping for a reduced sentence. I don't know what visiting hours over there are, but if anyone wants to get in touch that's where I'll be until I recieve my release. Address all correspondence to:
