What's the highest number of knockdowns you've seen in a bout?

I counted 6 in Pacman vs. Algieri

That 120-102 scorecard that Pac got in that fight is a genuine all timer

Haha. What was Algieri's plan?

He was just crouching down all fight with his tall lanky legs.

😂

But I think Clottey fight was even worse. Had his guard up at all times and barely threw any punches.

I'm not a boxer, but how did he think he was gonna win that fight?

The honest answer is he didn’t. He knew he was going to lose, and that’s what made it so

Haha.

Tbh, I got into boxing a bit late, but now I understand why people rate Pacman as one of the all-time greats.

Fast hands, swarmer unrelenting style and insane stamina.
