    Have a look at the Collins knockdown in the first - Did a punch even land here ?

    Remember he was back in traning after coming out of retirement and he collapsed. There was a rumour that he was actually knocked out in sparring - dont know if there was any truth to it but I think after that he was advised not to come back.

    Considering the wars he had been in before this fight it was odd to see a clip on the side of his head knock him down...glad he took the advice, Collins is a legend IMO and would have been sad to see him hurt by continuing when he shouldnt have.

    That was a weird one alright, he didn't look phased by the knockdown, a little shocked maybe, it was not often you saw Collins go down!
    The rumour is that he was ko'd in sparring, while Collins maintains that he collapsed in sparring and was advised to stop boxing.
