Ford was like how you submit a college assignment at 11:59 pm
Real 😂
Hahaha. That's me
Ha ha very good
11:59 and 53sec 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The type of fights all boxing fans want!!! Straight 🔥
none of that running around cowardly BS claiming others have to take all the risks pressing the action & taking unnecessary risks, while the coward takes 0 risks & is gifted a decision.
@@DoctorEduardolike canelo and teo
@fightworld Not at all some of us want our kos to be actual kos not tkos with ref help. Men used to participate in this sport 🥊
Facts
@@realnameTony The ref actually saved Kholmatov by stopping the fight!
DAMN! I almost cried! So much emotion in this moment! THIS IS WHAT BOXING IS ABOUT!
That's what being a real fan of the sport does to you. 🫡👑
I felt that same way NGL bro 💯
Mannn I swear to God! Felt like I was in there with bro
Ford showed skills + big heart almost cry too 😂good performance both fighters congratulations
Absolutely!! Reminds me of those legends of the 80s USA boxers!! Gave me chills man
Only a real boxing fan will understand how great this fight was. Sent chills
Not true, I’m not a boxing fan, I’m a football fan (the real football by the way), but I felt it. And I decided to watch even more. Thanks to Francis Ngannou and R. ford.
I’m not a real boxing but from these highlights alone, seems like a FoTY contender.
A amazing fight
Fella, don't exclude people who aren't hardcore fans from enjoying this amazing moment. What if people watch this then want to find out more about boxing? Attitudes like yours are why boxing and boxing fans are seen as such whiny weirdos. Be more welcoming ✌️
@@tro1239 I didn’t exclude anyone. Generally speaking if your a hardcore fan of any sport your more likely familiar with the players and more likely to the watch the event in real time rather than clips online. Therefore it’s more appreciated from a hardcore fan. It’s just logic stop being so sensitive
That was hands down fight of the year so far🔥 Congrats to Raymond ford 🏆🙏
It's on March bro
Amazing fight
its only match😂😂 but great fight
We just got into March lmao. But yeah, great fight.
Definitely Fight of the Year Candidate‼️
This was the BEST fight we've seen in boxing so far in 2024.
That was the best finish I ever saw
@@JaQuanT1 call that a finish lol?
💯
@@rebellion7463 finish of a fight, not a person 😂
@@Joshdifferent yeah cause he was still standing, stoppage was a little early if you ask me, its the 12th round, let em go out on their shield
Bro really took that title. Kholmatov is a beast.
Kholmatov just gotta develop his jab HE A DOG FR
Them tears come from deep down inside of his soul...all that hard work and that dont ever give in or up attitude resulted in one of the greatest moments a boxer will feel...AND NEW...god bless your career champ...
Faced major adversity and fought all the way to the last minute congratulations 🎉
to the last seconds lol
@@babystrokessrrigged stoppage
@@Deoxsityah well he still won
@@Noindividual black
@@Deoxsity Exactly, people saying he turned his back (Protect yourself at all times)...No, he was hit on the move and knocked sideways.......He was clearly trying to right himself as Ford came in to attack again, and fell/slipped onto the ropes!! Yes, he was stunned, yes, possibly Ford could/might have finished him off, but that was a pretty bad call.............
Thats how you win a world title!!!
💯
But the most effective way to win a world title was to pay the judges, like mayweather does 😂
@charlesgacita3767 what does mayweather have to do with this a stupid comment
@@gregabernathy1763 he has the best and successful technic which is the payday. Thats how you win a world title easily and surely 🤣
@@gregabernathy1763Floyd been retired for seven years and still living rent free in gacita's head
As a UK fight fan, fights like THIS are the reason I stay up to the early hours for! 📺🥊🔥 I just sat there and said to myself "I f*cking love boxing" when this fight finished... 🥊♥️😅 Rocky style win from Raymond Ford, you've got a huge fan here now! 💯
Reminds me of when froch stopped taylor❤❤
@@staffh3815 💯🥊
I do the same mate knackered next day, always say never again ,but ❤ boxing,when like this .I stayed up to listen to don curry v loyd honeygun on the radio because wasn't on tv haha
@@staffh3815 Yeah I try to do it for every fight I think will be exciting, because you just never know when it's gonna deliver like this! Don't wanna miss it! 🥊🔥
@@staffh3815Old git alert 😂 I used to do the same 🥊🥊🤙
Raymond Ford got a new fan in me 💯%
Beautiful fight, both boxers fought amazing high skills, Congrats Ford!🇲🇽
So you agree, return fight?
@@gerrodmendham461nope
Kholmatov is defently is gana ask for rematch asap or either work to get to that position
@@isaidignacia1826 he don’t get to ask for a rematch smh.. the conversation is closed.. ford is literally moving on trying to get fights with other champs
@@realdeal5475😂😂😂 ok are you his manager???
He can comeback to win in final round. It is the real lion heart , respect him
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID...👍🏾💪🏾🥱💯
He did well because he fought a a good fight but needs to concentrate on his defence when he lets his punches go he leaves himself open for retaliation. He is a legit fighter though.
Kholmatov would KO him in reematch 😂😅
Чувак у него травма возобновили на ногах к чему радуйтесь я не понимаю Отабек заберёт реванш @@stanleyjackson6087
shakira wouldve never did no shyt like this😂
I watched this entire fight and i had tears in my eyes when Ford won it in the final round because I could see how badly he wanted it ...he was marching forward the entire 2nd half of this fight...Wow... that's greatness and the hunger of a young man that was not going to let anyone stop him from accomplishing his dream... Raymond Ford you are now a champion and young man you deserve it... it's unfortunate that their had to be a loser in this fight because they both put their heart on the line in this fight
Brother I was at the gym at work. I had placed a lil over a dub on ford and some ufc fighters. Bro brought that dawg out in him
Amazing fight. Ford showed heart and determination. 50/50 fights thats what boxing needs.
We need that rematch
Nahh, we need unification fights now.
Ford is going to knock this heavyweight out again😂
@@slicks1175unification fight against Lopez or Espinoza would be a huge treat for the fans and boxing community. Even a title defense against Shu Shu would be a great match to watch to show who’s the top American boxer in the featherweight division.
Kholmatov will get a knee surgery so no fight for him for at least a year
A privilege to see fighters at their peak of fitness and athleticism and lay everything on the line. Respect to both fighters. Well done Ford.
man Otabek looks like a welterweight
You've earned a new fan champ!! Congratulations 💪💪
mee too. I like his style, not boring, all action boxer.
Down on 2 scorecards, needed a knockout to win, and delivered in spectacular fashion Fight of the Year!!!
Forreal , ford was getting spanked … im glad he won though
It wasn't spectacular though, he just clipped him when he was off balance and the ref counted him out with 12s left. Top rank will TKO even if a fly lands on them
@@Noog6284wat was you watching ?
Rigged stoppage once again
@alexyo2440 The referee did Otabek a favor not calling the knock down then he got hurt by Ford, he turns his back and stop defending himself, that's why the ref stopped the fight
Ray Ford is the truth! He came a long way. Salute to this young man! Well-deserved victory
Top Rank please upload the full fight.amazing
That’s the best fight I saw in a few years
this ending gave me chills
What a fight man . Respect to both warriors . Ford is a dawg bruh 🔥
Man that was a fight these two fighters should be the $30 million fighters man. They brought, heart guts, action for all fans every round. Respect to both fighters
This is a spectacle Shakur Stevenson can only dream of.
@@jirimijirimijirimi exactly, fighters need to Realize win or lose if they being excitement the money and matches will come
This shit had me yelling at my house alone... what a fight. what a finish. He earned that 100% especially after the ref didn't call that knock down when the ropes saved homie.
But the ref rectified his mistake fast by stopping the fight. It was not a knockdown really by the book, the ref noticed he got hurt because he stopped fast later. The ref did a great job how it should.
If he get that knockdown, he loses. He was down on two scorecards
He didn’t earn it all, he was getting fucked up and touched up all night. 7 seconds left and you stop a world title fight ?
@@jadencandelario7880 @jadencandelario7880 The stoppage was good, the guy had no legs after he came up from the push down, and he was getting hit with no defense at all by everything thrown at him. Can't blame the ref on this one. The huzbeko was winning the fight clearly but it wasn't one sided, both were in there going at it, shit happens in boxing, and Raymond earned that win tight but without a doubt. This one will be fight of the year no questions. Fights and outcomes like this happen once every 50 years.
@@jadencandelario7880you should watch Sergio Martinez vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Sergio was up in the scorecards but late in the 12th round he got screwed up and was gonna be out but he took a knee and got the breather he needed. Turning back while running showed that the dude was out of it and had no legs left he looked like a limp chicken bareskin.
Dude earned that victory, but he took a lot of damage as well. Hope he's alright going forward.
Yes both guys took a lot of punishment specially Otabek 😢
Bro, in boxing there used to be something called count after knockdown, don't you remember? 😂
@@charmcompassion9199yes, you can see it on Ford's cracked face 😅
@@user-ju4dx1iz6rfrom an accidental headbutt

Wow! What a fight! Congratulations to Ford! Another fighter I’m keeping in my radar to watch upcoming fights. 👏
That’s how you win a championship belt…walk through the 🔥 🔥 🔥! 💯
They don’t call em savage for nothing … Wow 🤩
Wow Ford is really special. He found a way to get it done.
Instant classic win. I almost shed a tear of joy watching his reaction after the bell rang and he was on the floor. The type of dedication that this takes you just wouldn’t understand unless you been in there. Congratulations 👏🏽
I wasn't a Ray Ford fan but I am now!! What a fight...he earned every oz of that gold !! Be big champ 💪
Both of these fighters gave fans value for their money. This fight does have a potential to win fighter of the year 2024
That's the kind of fight we, the fans, are looking forward to. These two fought like champions. Congratulations Champ.
This was what championship boxing is all about and what we need more of in the sport 🤷♂️💯
Yeah right 2 guys with no defense just punching on each other mf would be done boxing by 27 if that's how guys fight 😂😂😂they will both be slow in the head in 3 years stuttering
Hadnt heard of this guy before this but damn he just gained a new fan. Amazing finish 🔥🥊
My Black American brother Raymond Ford showed tremendous heart and tenacity in this fight and I couldn’t be more proud. 🇺🇸
He came, he saw, he conquered! Congratulations 🎊 Ford ya did it!!!
What a banger. Both these dudes got serious heart and skills. Congrats to ford!
This fight was Lit 🔥! Thank you Top Rank for putting on great match !!!
That was amazing to watch LIVE omg Ray got that dawg in him he dug deep and became a Champion👑 S/O NJ and Shakur💯😤
Great fight from both men this is what you call classic boxing match and congrats to the winner
They was trying to rob Raymond Ford on the cards but he said uh uh.
Heart. This was brilliant display of courage and persevering.
Ayyyyyyyyeeeeeee! All the heart in the world. Congrats champ. That was inspirational.
And a star is born!!!
Great fight they need to run this back !!!
Just seconds in watching the highlights and could tell instantly that both fighters were in sync and ready to slug it out all the way through. Really good fight.
We need more fights like this 🏆 it was a great fight 👏🥇🔥🥊
Raymond "Savage" is built Ford Tough 💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯
He cured him out! That boy turned his back and didn't want no more. Great job young man!
Kholmatov is a man, not a boy.
figure o' speech@@Zaemon037 they both killed it no doubt
That fight was great. What we need more in boxing. Kudos to both fighters for giving us this kind of fight.
What a fight, what a result, what a final 30 seconds, and what a heck of a call by Joe Tessitore.
Amazing fight!!! This is what Boxing is all about WOW! Congrats to the new world champ Ray Ford 🏆 & Hats off to Kholmatov he’s tough as nails 👏🏾🔥
Boxing fans annoy me... Dude literally started running and turned his back on wobbly legs... And was even wobbling after doctors checked on him...Like wth do yall be wanting? These dudes human not cartoon characters. Foster should have gotten the stoppage too when hernandez turned his back it shows a sign of "no more pain" yall complain so much in this damn community its almost sickening.
Bro he has had serious knee issues. He wasn't wobbly from a punch, he reinjured his knee.
@Crackbaby3 he should've pulled out of the fight then
@@CrackBaby3 knee injury or not, he started running and even turned his back. he should of jus hung on ropes and threw punches until he got his feet under him but didn't. he did it earlier in the fight but not here...he was hurt...L
Boxing has the worst fans of all sports.
Either way he tried to go out on his shield with knee issues and got punished he if he couldn’t carry on he probably would have pulled out earlier rounds. But after the uppercut he went down and got up fine so don’t see the issue ford won fair and square Still was good fight either way
They so young, I need to see them both put on more classics down the road
Gotta be hands down one of the greatest fights ever
nice fight! they look big for featherweights
i thought they were lightweight..LOL
@@jeproksbautista6600exactly! at the end ford said he's moving up weight which makes sense lol
Everyone who got a belt in that division look big for 126 except for lopez.. That 6'1 guy should not be fighting at featherweight they set ramirez up in that fight
Komotov literally turned his back and ran 🏃🏽♀️ 🤣 Solid work for Raymond Ford 🥊😵💫🥊
one of the best fights I've seen in a while. Ford is a savage fr🔥
Give both fighters this is great boxing! Excellent Match..
Fake stoppage
Horrible stoppage. when Inoue hit donaire’s body and donaire showed his back,the referee just protected donaire and never stopped the fight. But when American fighter is losing the fight and only 5 seconds left in the fight,the referee stopped immediately
Stay bothered lmao
@@xavi8780 Stay dishonest.
@@papertiger8280and Kholmatov stays losing. Damn 😂
@KhabobNurmagomedov Luis Alberto Lopez is gonna whoop fords ass..with his hands down all night..nothing impressive about ford
Dude was flopping all over the ring. Didn't wanna fight anymore
Man what a finisher! Congrats Ford!
Good win. Shout out to coach Anthony as well. Congrats to the whole team.
Brilliant performance what a warrior, well deserved champ 🏆
this what i wanna see from all these slick fighters show me how much heart you got. ray savage & otabek kholmatov both getting supported from me thanks for a classic fight 🔥
Respect to both fighters this is what we love to see 🤌🏾‼️‼️
God bless that young brother. What a comeback
Ray Ford - you just gained a fan. You know how to box but chose to bring the fight. Fighters like you are why I love boxing. Congrats to you young man! 🎉
Respect to these two warriors in there. Ford proved he was the better man against the odds. A true champion.
Congrats young bull. Camden New Jersey ain’t no joke! This man had it tough. Hope he does well in his next fights.
This is how I pictured Shakur Vs De Los Santos fight would be🔥🔥 That was a great fight! Shout out to Raymond Ford🥊💯
Instead Shakur chose to do sprints
What a great fight. One of the best fights I've seen in years. Even brought a tear to my eye to see the young man pull this one out. Salute to the champ Ford
Amazing work lads! That was old school heart!!!
I wish this kid good luck on his road to stardom ford seems like a well spoken and humble dude
CLASSIC FIGHT. I WANNA SEE them both go at it for the second time
Boxing at its best. Great fight. Congratulations to both warriors.
Ford fought with his soul damn what a fight .
When you got to have it and go get it. Damn this was beautiful. He didn’t give up. This was an amazing fight though period. Way better than I ever expected
Rematch and maybe trilogy,these 2 fighters are great dance partners,Well done Ray Ford
Boxing and the fans really needed this type of fight . Nominee for fight of the year for sure .
Never stop testing the limits of your heart, That's boxing 🥊💪💯🔥
Ive never seen ford take that much damage. I love to see when fighters show they got that dawg in them💯 this the type of respect and dawg guys like haney and shakur wish they had
"There will be a mandatory eight (8) count after a knockdown (when three (3) parts of the body touch the canvas). If the ropes prevent a boxer from going down, the referee will call it a knockdown and it shall be considered by the judges accordingly
Absolutely Classic! Definitely going to be in talks for fight of the year come December.
What a fight. Thats how you do it. This is why we love boxing
What a fight! Its crazy to see somebody from my area win a world title. This is just the beginning my G, salute!
Gotta love this boxing game ... Moments like this ...
