T.Hunter vs Semenko- bothered Sammy quite a bit ..lifting his leg up  ..he answered with a knee.

Ever heard of Billy Irwin from Niagara Falls?? he was a lightweight who ended most of his fights with the "left hook to the liver', it was a beautiful thing, he was top 10 for awhile in the late 90's, perfect punch.....
Back in my Boxing days I had a guy ask me to spar oneday, a colored fella who said he had never sparred before (which was obvious bull$hit), he was about 15 lbs heavier and a bit taller.......anyways into the ring we went and this guy's arms seemed like they were 8 feet long!! he was beating the $hit out of me, I couldnt get out of the way of this bastid's punches, even when I thought I was way out of range "pop" he'd nail me, this made me really mad, I could take a shot so I kept coming t him and he was obviously trying to KO me......I chased this fukker down stopping his punches with my grill for 2 and a half rounds when finally I cornered him as he seemed to be gassing and just blasted him with a single left hook right on the liver, he let out a "groooooan" and hit the deck, all his air left him, writhing around on the canvas like he took a bullet!! I said "get the fukk up, it's my turn now"!! he stayed down, I wanted to hurt him bad, but I didnt realize he already was hurt bad from about the only punch I landed in the whole 3 rounds!! It saved face because everyone in the gym was watching him beat the hell out of me until I caught him, I really wanted to put him to sleep but it was at that moment I truely realized you can hurt a guy way more to the body....he never showed his face in the gym again.
