    What are some of your favorite displays of a fighter finishing off an opponent once he’s hurt?

    Jones jr vPazienza is one particularly because of the way Paz was showboating and got put to the floor.

    The way Roy put those punches together from those angles was amazing

    Tyson-Thomas is the best imo. It's also Mike's personal favorite.

    But I agree with BOSS and Whiskey, Pavlik-Taylor and Roy-Paz are definitely up there.

    Leonard-Price is also high on this list.

    Another that comes to mind... Tszyu vs Jan Bergman. Brutal and beautiful finishing combination.

    Price was wrong

    The Leonard Green KO was brutal but it was more a str8 KO than the ending of sequence of destruction.

    Exactly right on Leonard-Green. More of a pure KO than a finishing KO.

    We all forgot to mention Tua-Ruiz. That's definitely high on this list.

    Damn! Totally forgot about Foreman-Cooney. Easily one of the best.

    Naseem Hamed vs Augie Sanchez, that was a fairly brutal finish.

    It was a nice, clean ko

    When sanchez lost he got drilled in style. His first loss to some journeyman at the grand Olympic he left on a stretcher out cold

    Same for his last fight pretty much

    Augie certainly liked to go out in style haha!

    Rewatched Tyson-Thomas last night. The finish in particular leads me to believe the heavyweight division will never see a talent like Mike again. Or at least not in our lifetimes.

    It was a truly beautiful finish and clearly displayed Tysons killer instinct and ability to really step it up as soon as a guy was even slightly hurt.

    Tyson was winning the fight easily though Thomas was staying away from danger but when he ducked under and cracked him with that left hook, he just dialled straight into killer mode.
     
  19. Wiser 1878

    Wiser 1878 Bridgerweight Champion

    Was that the John Michael Johnson fight?

    That was amazing how JMJ's trainer called that first round KO. He said while breaking down film, Sanchez always went all out in round 1 making him the most dangerous yet most vulnerable in round one. JMJ was known as a slow starter. Their game plan all along was to try and get the first round KO.
     
  20. Wiser 1878

    Wiser 1878 Bridgerweight Champion

    This wasn't the fight Neil was talking about. This came after the Hamed fight. Still a good finish and great strategy from JMJ's corner.

    I think Foreman threw that final, drive-by right hand because he was pissed about getting stunned in the first round.

    Old Foreman could be compassionate and ask the ref to stop a clearly beaten fighter, but the mean side of him would come out if he was challenged and/or pissed.

    I always loved the end of Witherspoon-Gonzalez.

    Jorge looked like Suge Knight with really bad hair.

    Pryor-Arguello I was the 1st that Sprung to Mind...

    Hurt and Against the Ropes, Arguello was Actually Starting to Pick Up on the Left-Right Pattern of Pryor's Flurry Until Pryor DOUBLED the Right Hand, Snuck In Another Left-Right Then TRIPLED the Right Hand to End It...

    Handspeed, Volume, Conditioning, Power, Creativity, Accuracy, and IQ were All on Display in that Finishing Salvo...
