Re: Greatest uppercuts of all-time
He's not the best and may not have gotten any other shots of note - but this is one of my all time favorites from Robbie Peden and I don't care who else he beat when - I was off my couch jumping up and down when I saw this.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned RJJ/Paz, but those shots themselves were not the only issue that Paz had on the way out.
I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now.

Re: Greatest uppercuts of all-time
Foreman-Frazier II took place near New York City but not in it. It was held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale on Long Island. The Coliseum has been, but isn't anymore, the home of the New York Islanders, the then New York (now Brooklyn) Nets, the New York Dragons of the Arena Football League, the New York Arrows and later the New York Express of the original Major Indoor Soccer League, the New York Sets of Team Tennis, and the New York Saints and later the New York Titans of the National Lacrosse League. With the exception of the Islanders and the Nets, both whom now play at the Barclays Center, those teams no longer exist.Burley wrote:soonermark890 wrote:Bowe's uppercut was amazing.

I'll take George. I still recall that second "Foreman - Frazier" fight. I think it was at Yankee Stadium? Not sure, though I know it was in NYC. I lived in Jersey at the time.
Joe claimed that because he shaved his head, Foreman's punches would roll off his head. Okay. ?? Well, I will never forget the cover of the Star Ledger Newspaper. A bald headed Joe Frazier up in the air courtesy of Foreman's uppercut.

Re: Greatest uppercuts of all-time
That is a good angle and range for an uppercut, and partially why the shot did so much damageNoPropaganda 253 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:09 am The uppercut was glorious. That close with that angle? Props to the kid.
Agree, excellent KO, dude went down like he'd been blasted. Great way to settle things when the first fight was controversial.

Re: Greatest uppercuts of all-time
Great uppercut for sure.
But George is fortunate he landed it, because he was getting his ass handed to him.

This one of course, textbook execution: jab to draw a reaction, slip, bam
Unfortunately for Whyte it's not his first time on this page as the recipient

Re: Greatest uppercuts of all-time
It was a great set up. You can choose from the liver or chin from that angle as a southpaw with the proper dip.

Not sure if this one was mentioned or not, a lot of the videos and gifs are blocked at work.
