I remember the fight between Bernard "Executioner" Hopkins and Felix "Tito" Trinidad in Felix's homeland of Puerto Rico.
In the prefight hype, Hopkins and Trinidad are arguing and Hopkins grabs the Puerto Rican flag and throws it down touching off a riot that he had to fight his way out of.
With Felix being the favorite and a 99.9% crowd of spectators chanting for the "Executioner" to be executed, Bernard pulls off the unthinkable.
The ex-convict from north Philly not only beats Trinidad, but dominates him like no one ever has by KOing Felix (his first btw) in front off his hometown.
