I feel somewhat ashamed that I only recognised this man as an internet meme before now, I never realised he was a boxer and a damn good one at that too. Those combinations of speed and power are what every trainer wishes for in their students and to utterly outclass the current champion in the opening round is truly a remarkable achievement. He had a troubled and rough life but I’m glad to at least now know better late than never the talent that was underneath. RIP Lockridge, I hope you’re finally at peace.

[@ccali327]

It's really sad, when I first saw that, I really cringed at people laughing at him. The idea of laughing at anyone at such a low point is horrible, but when you know of the person and saw how accomplished they were, it just makes things a bit more tragic.

[@mortekaieve4729]

What's really crazy is I realized that the guy from the "former boxing champ ko young punk" video - the old man in red who knocked out a thug in front of a gas station ended up being the crying meme man, then I found that crying meme man, who the young guys in the gas station video were calling "champ", really was a champ.

[@freqeist]

regardless of where he is now atleast he can say he was a champ, you can never take that away from him.

[@kingarthurj]

I love the fact it was the two body shots before the knockout blow that were really the gamechangers. He was visibly affected by those shots and couldn't move his head out the way for the 3rd blow.

[@PEGGLORE]

Looked to me like he actually headbutted Mayweather's chin with great force when moving towards him which is what cabbaged him, making him easy to knockout.

RIP Rocky Lockridge. The struggles you went through many won't understand, but I do. "For the last two decades of his life, Lockridge had drug problems. He became homeless and suffered a stroke which forced him to walk with a cane. He was featured on A&E's Intervention TV series, on which he claimed that the intervention and the help of his sons saved his life. His appearance on the show is noted for a notorious moment where his son Lamar says, "Because I know, somewhere deep down in my heart, I still love you," which caused Lockridge to break down crying hard enough to the point where he was screaming at the top of his lungs. This spawned the internet meme "Best Cry Ever". He was also caught on video defending himself by knocking out a bully with a single one-two jab-cross combination near a convenience store. In interviews, he expressed a desire to be drug-free, having stated that he had never been this clean, even in his fighting days. "I feel so good today that if I hadn't suffered the stroke I would go for a title shot," he stated. He was also interested in becoming a boxing trainer."

I dont know much about Rocky other than he struggled with addiction and ended up tragically passing away but I cant imagine how much it probably hurt to be in his situation and think back to moments like this where Im sure he felt like he was on top of the world and would never have thought he would have ended up like he did.

Boza Edwards, LaPorte, Pedroza (twice) were mentioned prior to the KO. Tough, tough fighters that Lockridge had faced prior to this fight. Plus 26 KOs out of 32 fights. Definitely seasoned and taken too lightly from Roger May’s camp. Tried to bang with a banger. You youngsters have no idea how tough divisions were back then.

Mayweather fought the wrong fight. he should have moved and boxed from the beginning. If he did, he could have outboxed the shorter Lockridge for a decision.

[@NLHero]

Back then roger was building himself into a power punching knockout artist. This is the first time he was defeated or stopped so it was a lesson for him. But you're right he should have boxed and definitely could have won that fight.

[@rjgula3259]

I always loved the Mayweather clan and their zany antics. Roger Mayweather was wearing the Men in Black shades and Duva is yelling at him, "We'll get you buddy. We'll get you Black Mamba and your little dog too!" Classic Mayweather.
