    Riots in boxing !!

    What are some Riots you know of, I ask because I was looking at history and noticed lots of riots, and was like woah.....

    Frankie Narvaez vs Flash Elorde
    The decision caused a major riot with thrown chair and fire extinguisher axes. The rioting later spread to the streets as fans threw bricks from a demolished building across the street.

    Jose Torres vs **** Tiger
    In 1967, he and Tiger had a rematch, and Torres lost a 15 round decision again. Many fans thought he should have won it that time, and as a consequence, a large scale riot followed the fight, with many New York City policemen called to the Garden arena to try to calm down the fans.

    Felix Trinidad vs Bernard Hopkins (when he threw down the flag in Puerto Rico)
    A riot happened, where Hopkins had to be air lifted to safety

    Fres Oquendo vs Chris Bryd
    large chants of bull**** eurrpted

    I also remenber reading a Cuban vs PR riot happened with chairs being thrown, but can't figure out which fight it was....

    Bowe-Golota spring right to mind. Forward to 2:51.

                  There's been quite a few here recently. The Elomar Ahmed vs Willie Kickett fight sparked a riot, there was another one more recently and another just after that. Can't really remember who between and what caused it though. I'll have a look.

                    Rid**** Bowe's entourage was a riot waiting to happen. When the foolish fanman landed Bowe's group jumped him and beat him to a pulp before security could get to him and in the Golota first match they started fighting half the crowd and the Golota camp.
