Lloyd Honeyghan vs Johnny Bumphus 1987

Post by chuck9788 »

I just watched this fight.

As the 2nd round bell rang Honeyghan pounced and ran full speed across the ring and smashed Bumphus while he was still sitting on the stool!

CLASSIC STUFF!!!

Any thoughts ?

I remember that fight. Bumphus got his shot at Honeyghan by beating Marlon Starling. It turned out to be Bumphus' last fight. He looked ready to go in the first round even before he was knocked down. Getting floored again in the second round as he was getting up from his stool hastened the outcome but I think that it was inevitable. He was going to get stopped one way or another.
