Times a crowd impacting a fight

[ViperSniper]

Roy Jones Jr made a comment on JRE the other week how in 2020 it wouldn't be possible for a fighter like Nigel Benn to get up in round 1 against McClellan without the crowd support (in reference to boxing with no crowds at the moment).

When did a crowd get a fighter through a moment or even fight? Sure, the fighters awareness, will, instinct kicks in, but any key moments of when a crowd played a factor in a fight or fighters?



The crowd (& of course his fighting spirit) played a part in Gatti getting up in round 9 of the first fight against Ward.

I feel the crowd atmosphere helped both AJ & Wlad to get up when they did in their fight.

The crowd spurred Arce all fight to overcome Hussein.

The crowd spurred & helped Hatton to keep throwing to completely outwork Tszyu on his finest night.

The crowd going nuts revved Froch on even more to let loose on Bute.

The crowd impacted both Mayorga & Trinidad in different moments.


Leonard against Hagler, especially when he was trapped in the corner & was flurrying back to counter.

Rumble in the Jungle saw the crowd spur Ali, while it had also thrown Foreman off in the process.

The crowd helped Vivian Harris get up from his 7th round knockdown vs Carlos Maussa and score an epic come-from-behind KO.


Oh wait, no they didn't.
