VOTE FOR 3! Robbie is fighting tomorrow, and he has been in some absolute wars over the years and provided us with constant entertainment. What are your top 3 favourite Lawler KO/TKO? Here's a few GIF's to jog your memory of his earlier ones:
Rory. Absolute battle Manhoef. His leg was really busted up but he came with a big finish. Lindland. The way he puts his legs after the ko. Classic
Trigg, Manhoef & Lindland stand out the most to me. The Lindland and Ghosn KO's are pretty similar though.
I was 5th row when he fought manhoef. Those leg kicks were loud as fuck and the 2 guys next to me and myself were the only ones in the rows around us rooting for him. Pretty insane when he floored melvin. People couldn't believe the guy who they didn't know and was getting worked almost killed this guy who looks like a murderer.
Good choices but how is a cut stoppage similar to a clean KO? They stopped the Tiki fight because of a cut.
The Rory fight for exploding his face, the Manhoef fight for the comeback KO and the Ellenberger fight for the laughing at Jake's takedown and getting back up and going beast mode on him, if that fight didn't end with that sequence I would have picked the Trigg KO over the Ellenberger one.
I wonder if he'd have even been able to walk in the second round of that fight, had he not got the finish.
I voted Tiki just cuz I love seeing that guy get his face smashed in at any and every opportunity. And hearing him awkwardly cry about the stoppage after was priceless.
Vs Manhoef. That overhand came down like a fckin sledgehammer.Brutal. Then Voelker,great head kick. Then Ellenberger.
I always liked the Ellenberger TKO because Robbie tossed out this little fake-right to bait Jake's head right into the knee, and Ellenberger totally bought it. It was a pay-off Robbie earned with some hard jabs preceding this moment. edit: Here's one that shows the last jab beforehand- Robbie's jabs have a little extra power to them because of his choice to become a southpaw (being a natural right-hander).
