    The only knock I have against it was that he'd softened LSC up with the same shot and had LSC a bit groggy in that same round...LSC had retreated to the ropes and was grimacing just a bit.

    I think Danny Williams left uppercut KO of Mark Potter might be better as Williams had one functioning arm at the time.

    It wasn't a better punch, but it was much harder circumstances to the same effect.

    I guess Lewis' right uppercut KO of Grant deserves mention.

    Yeah but he had him on the junction of Queer Street and Lightsout Boulevard plus he braced his head with his free arm. He was basically just hitting a dead man.

    Lennox always loved to use his left hand to hold the guy’s neck and hit him with the right uppercut. Sometimes he was slicker about it and give more of a quick push down but other times he was just blatant with the holding.

    People forget that there is also uppercuts to the body

    I think Duke McKenzie might have been stopped on a single uppercut to the solar plexus.....might have been in his last fight vs Alcantara.

    I know McKenzie was smoked in 1 round to Rafael Del Valle to lose his bantamweight title - I'm not sure if that was his last fight.

    No it wasn't he ended his career on a loss but not to Del Valle but to Alcantara.

    Robinson took him out a right upper cut to the solar plexus in a maul in the center ring.

    45:00 mark onwards

    I've rewatched it at 0.25 speed and the only upper cut movement I can see is when Prescott wipes his nose in the corner with his left glove at the 0.59 mark.

    Maybe I'm being a Duran groupie, but that uppercut KO of Ortiz really was sweet AF.

    No, not ´20 seconds or whatever´ and like I said, NOT a pure uppercut, more like a hook/uppercut at 0:55 and again at 1:15

    In Germany. Doesn't count. I had Gevor winning all the rounds before the Ref let him get hit like that. We're never going back there. Robbed,

    Noteworthy Entry, it loses points for a few reasons

    *Tom Johnson never had a great chin and was badly hurt when the uppercut landed

    *Johnson still beat the count

    *Hameds a twat.

    I think that was more of a regular left hook, the Arthur Williams one was more of an uppercut to the belly.

    That {Dale Brown} was a great example of how a recent and totally unrelated bout had allowed nonsense to creep into a subsequent bout. Right before Jirov landed the KO blow, Foreman and Lampley were rabbitting on about the danger of headbutts and how Jirov was more dangerous with his head than anything else. All of this flowed from the death of Randy Carver earlier in the week.

    Jirov was never a dirty fighter. He was just a southpaw who went to the body.

    I guess it was more of a "hookercut" but Jones blasting out Griffin was really sweet.

    Seems like Santa Cruz should have bided his time more. He was able to win rounds. Who knows what happens if that fight got to the 10th, 11th rounds.

    If Davis is going to make a real mark, it's going to have to be at 130 where his power and speed is best. I don't see him doing much at 135 against real competition.
