Reply to comment by beneath_the_bridge in TIL that retired pro boxer George Chuvalo was never knocked down in his 93 bout professional career. Which included fights against Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman. by MightGuy420x

Thumbed in the eye with big ol gloves on? Does that happen a lot in boxing? I know it does in mma but the gloves are so big in boxing seems like that would be tough to do.

I think it was more common back then as the gloves were different, somewhere between what boxing gloves are and mma gloves are.
