Was that the kind of KO that will forever change Montiel? Can anyone take a shot like that to the dome and ever be the same? Montiel showed incredible courage but I think his amazing fighter's instincts is the sole reason he was able to get up and square up after such a brutal blow.
Is that the type of punch that turns a Champ into a shot fighter? And I dont mean in the fight fan's psyche or opinion...I mean physiologically does that change Montiel's coordinated ability to absorb future punches?
(Think Vargas v. Tito, Taylor v. Chavez Sr., Ali v. Frazier, Castillo v. Corrales, etc etc.)
It's a difficult to re-watch that KO.
