Brutal knockouts you'd forgotten about...

that's the whole point of this thread, is it not?:crafty:

 

No probably about it. Tszyu at his best was a class well above Hatton.

 

He would have killed him!

 

:fightme:

 

It's also a good thread to introduce Julian Jackson into.

they are both great ko's but not reall;y ones that people have forgotten about, especially the Graham one. A better choice might be his knockout of Buster Drayton. Or that fight against the Italian where he was stunend in the first but ko'd him in the second. or one of his title defenses against some puertorican guy whom he ko'd in like 20 seconds.

 

I didn't know we were being so strict with the guidelines.

I figured Brock-Lawrence and Jantuah-Rubio were a lot fresher in people's minds than Jackson-Graham.

 

it is just an oppinion of mine, not a set rule. Adding those legendary ko's certainly does not hurt this thread.

 

I had never seen this one before. Along with Spinks-Johnson, one of the best uppercuts ever thrown.

</P>amazing. @ the ref for continuing the count after the cornermen had already entered the ring, and then doing the overly dramatic wave off.

 

Alright, well in terms of a brutal knockout that I think is forgotten...Gatti-Munoz. Everybody seems to remember the Gamache blow out because of Gatti came in so heavy, but he did the same thing against Munoz who was just about in as bad a shape as Gamache.

Another little discussed knockout is John Michael Johnson-Augie Sanchez. Sanchez had a Michael Bennett-like glass chin, and it was shattered in this fight.

Wilfredo Vazquez-Eloy Rojas was a great knockout that doesn't get talked about a lot.

 

Tarver-Jones II.

 

Erratic, I think we all saw that one::

 

alex garcia - bernard benton

 

That Sebastiaan Rothmann video reminded me of his knockout loss to O'Neil Bell. Don't have the clip, but this pic says it all...

 

i was going to post that one but couldn't find it.

 

ANTWUAN was just saying that that one won KO of the year.

 

Yeah because your left hand is closer to your opponent and because more often they are moving to their right, which is your left. At least that was told to me when I boxed.

 

Yeah, I was posting to Erratic because he asked what was the KO of the year instead of that other fight.

 

I asked that. :dunno:

 

Ben Tackie-Freddie Pendleton is another forgotten knockout (unless someone's already mentioned here).

A year later, Pendleton turns around and does the same thing to an unknown named Horatio Garcia on FSN. I happened to be at that fight...and that wasn't much of a main event. ::

 

Leaping left hook of Fatton on Gumby.....er...Maussa's chin

Peden-Campbell 1

 

How about the idiotic ref counting him out.

One of my favorites. Curry KO's McCrory

Love this one too. That hook was incredibly fast.

 

I dont think anybody's forgotten about that KO. When mentioning the best hooks ever thrown, Curry-McCrory is always amongst the first mentioned.

 

Antonio Margarito-Antonio Diaz

The whole fight was brutal, not just those shots that sent Diaz eyes rolling in the back of his head at the end.


Mayorga-6 heads Lewis
Ponce-Sod 2
Jo Jo Dan-Raul Balbi

 

:fightme:

 

Yes Yes, quite the display it was. Mayorga went on to KO Vernon and smoke a lil cig and down a lil brew.


A shame we never saw a Mayorga-Margarito bout come to fruition
