Trevor Berbick/Larry Holmes Street Fight

[XThe GreatestX]

We have had a couple fights between fighters outside the ring
Tyson/Green
Bowe/Donald
Barrera/Morales

But this has got to be the greatest fight outside the ring between two boxers. Larry Holmes running across the hood of a car to deliver a flying dropkick onto an irate Trevor Berbick. Amazing.

This all of course came off the heels of a Holmes comeback fight in 1991. Berbick was in the audience at the post fight press conference and afterwards accused Larry of sending down a prostitute from Jacksonville to his home, who was to seduce him and ruin his marriage. This sparked the brawl below.

The commentary makes it so much better too. "Holmes showing amazing footwork and agility jumping off the car."

larry, somehow, always seemed to look dorky no matter how cool or intimidating he tried to look. It's a ridiculous clip and trevor berbick was insane either from mental illness or hits to the head, the guy was nuts. He raped someone too sometime after this. and of course was murdered in jamaica.
