Your Favourite Knock Out

by Sugar Boy Sweetie Wed Apr 06, 2011 12:11 am

First topic message reminder :

Hi guys. Just wondering what everyone's favourite KO ever is?

It doesn't have to be the obvious ones, the picture perfect ones, but maybe a KO you love because it involved a favourite fighter of yours getting recognition, or redemption? Or a fighter you didnt like getting his comeuppance?

The one that always springs to my mind is Lewis KO4 Rahman. As a big fan of Lennox I felt he let himself down being underprepared for Rahman first time out, and suffred an unneccessary defeat that would give detractors ammo to question his standing. He let an ordinary fight beat him, which annoyed me because I knew he was so much better. In getting revenge he didn't erase that mistake - it will always stay with him, but he at least avenged it and was able to secure the legacy of beating every man he'd ever fought, which pleased me greatly. And of course, it was an absolute peach of a KO - clinical and utterly devastating:

it was an age ago, and to be honest i'm not too sure who it was... maybe roy jones...?
but he was weaving about, back on the ropes and both hands down, almost behind his back...

...the other guys trying to get near, but missing by miles...

and from behind his body, he swings this suckerpunch, that clean takes out his opponent...

a shot from nowhere...!

Jones was looking to prove something after his disqual against Griffin. Awesome display of power punching!

No jabs, no nothing. Strickly business with lead hooks. Unbelievable talent.

Remember it well, Jeff Fenech also screaming at Kelly between rounds 'I'm not going to watch you be a punch bag son'.

4 minutes 20 onwards, the ref should never have let the guy continue.

Awesome display of KO power by the Prince!

David Tua's KO of John Ruiz was a corker despite the pity and initial fear for Ruiz immediately afterwards.

Chris Eubank vs. Reginaldo Dos Santos was another beauty :

Duran getting his senses seperated by Hearns was pretty lethal, Pacqauio on Hatton as well, Hammeds combo too put Augie Sanchez to bed was also a vicious, vicious moment.

Has to be Audley Harrison against Sprot 2, you could not get a punch that more on the button, before then Rocky Marciano's against Walcott.

by kingraf Tue Aug 13, 2013 12:31 am

I thought Hatton was dead after Manny knocked him (Mind the fight was on at 5 AM and I hadnt slept in 36 hours), It also completed the comedy/horror set for Hatton. An almost comical KO at the hands of Floyd, followed by a mowing.

Also loved Thabiso Mchunu's KO of Danie Venter a year ago, not particularly explosive. But so damn crisp were the punches.

Douglas KO of Tyson is as good as anything you'll see in HW history.

Marciano landing an anvil on Walcott's face was pretty aesthetic

by milkyboy Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:00 am

Was looking at this thinking how good/strange it was that this perennial favourite topic had drawn a few old time posters out before seeing windy's post, and the realisation dawned that the thread is 2 years old. Doh

Reminder how many good posters we're missing here these days.

Anyway: Benitez hope, Leonard green and anything from the Julian Jackson collection... Probably Drayton or Norris as I never liked Norris, great talent though he was.

Enzo getting sparked by both Frenkel and Lebedev were beauties!!! Especially the Lebedev one, he pottered towards him like a tranny prostitute approaching Vinny Jones!! BOOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

by Rowley Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:11 am

I was at the Frenkel fight reborn. The referee in that should not be allowed anywhere near a professional boxing ring again. There were people at the back of the arena could see Enzo was not fit to continue but the bloke stood in the ring next to him could not work it out. Shameful.

Mosley mayorga was a good knockout I also liked tyson botha rjj griffen

by **88Chris05** Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:45 am

A couple of my old favourites both include Rocky Graziano getting splattered, sadly for him!

First off, the right to the body, left to the point of the chin which Zale took him out with in their final fight.

Then, the way Robinson knocked him out in their 1952 fight. I love everything about that one; the way Robinson switched between defence and attack off the ropes and then the way he set Graziano up for it. Double left hook and then, as Graziano tries to anticipate a third, comes that big right which sent him over and sent his gumshield in to the crowd!

A real piece of genius from the original Sugar Ray, there!

Also, a few others which I don't think have been mentioned yet. Toney against Charles Williams, Mickey Huges against Gary Jacobs, Randall Bailey against Jones last year, Rodrigo Valdez against Bennie Briscoe and Bob Foster against Quarrey.....And Tiger.....And Rondon.....

by spencerclarke Tue Aug 13, 2013 12:57 pm

Garcia v Morales
Martinez v Williams
Marciano v Walcott

Would be my favourites.

Pacman v Hatton was a fantastic punch but I have never enjoyed it because at the time I thought Hatton was in serious trouble.

Watched top 10 Knock Outs on KOTV recently, and rather enjoyed RJJ's famous chicken KO, where he places his hands behind his back then bang....lovely finish.

Fairly weak opening post from the man from West Belfast.

Not sure it's you.

Sure someone will put Frampton in a list of top ten Brits soon and any doubt will be cleared up.

Oh its me Strongback my good friend and ally.

lol.

Not here for controversy here for the boxing guys. I have followed the pages over the last few months thought I'd jump in again mate.

by mobilemaster8 Tue Aug 13, 2013 3:38 pm

I have a few fresh in the memory for different reasons:

Derry Matthews in his last fight. Was behind on scorecards getting a bit of a pasting in that particular round and then off the ropes with a glorious left hook putting his opponent to sleep. Quality.

Lewis vs Rahman 2 - Brilliant left hand Right hand by Lennox sparking Hasseem out cold in the middle of the ring. Loved it even more given the pre fight talk before hand, got what was coming.

Pacquiao vs Marquez - Just the nature of everything regarding this. Pacquiao was supposed to be red hot going into it, was a brutal affair, the WHACK. Right hand of justice not only shocked Pacquiao, but the entire boxing world was in complete shock and awe. I remember jumping out my sofa shocked thinking what the hell just happened?! Was utterly the most epic fight i have seen based on that knockout and who was knocked out. Completely unexpected but completely brilliant from the ever brilliant Marquez.

by Nico the gman Tue Aug 13, 2013 4:00 pm

Robinson v Fulmer
Nelson v Cowdell
Leonard v Dave boy Green
Lewis v Rahman 2
Leonard v Hearns
Hagler v Hamso 2

by **ShahenshahG** Tue Aug 13, 2013 4:11 pm

Walcott on charles is the greatest of all time. Shortly followed by Robinsons on Fulmer and Hearns on Duran.

by mobilemaster8 Tue Aug 13, 2013 4:23 pm

Haha Hearns on Duran was brutal! Quality.

by StevoSmitho Tue Aug 13, 2013 9:31 pm

Newbie. Harro'

Pacquiao getting starched by Marquez. Then have the latter be accused of substance abuse. Irony?

Audrey vs Sprott.. Just because you maybe believed he had a heart to backup the mouth.

Pacquiao vs Margrito. Never wanted the latter to get hurt badly, but wanted him to get his arse kicked in and never come back.

Corales vs Castillo. Awesome fight, great knockout.

by AlexHuckerby Wed Aug 14, 2013 12:55 pm

Two of my favourite Julian Jackson KOs.

Buster Drayton, Drayton takes a fair bit of punishment but keeps coming only to fall like a tree, the second Jackson lands it he motions his right hand telling him where to fall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SqUFnP7Lg0

Terry Norris, both guys were good punchers but Norris had a pretty suspect chin, the right hand he lands first was a finisher, unluckily for Norris he couldnt fall, after that it was just painful.

by **hampo17** Wed Aug 14, 2013 12:58 pm

Mayweather against Hatton was one I can watch over and over, he broke him down round by round before sending him head first in to the ring post Laugh

Marquez knocking out Manny, devastating. The punch just came out of no where and was delivered to perfection.

Matthyse knocking out Peterson. The final punch lifted him off the floor, scary power and something that will trouble most light welters.
