Best uppercut you've seen?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMZu8It7NfQ

Don't think I've seen one in boxing that tops this.

p.s bit off topic but when (if ever) is it right for a man to hit a woman? I somewhat can't feel a lil sympathy for the woman in this video.

Carl Froch ko of Magee was well timed and perfectly placed.

Tysons combination to stop the first Bruno fight had 2 brutal uppercuts within it.

Very! Hope his hand's alright.

Tyson Fury's on himself.

Joking aside, I actually thought this was bang out of line. If he shoved her off or slapped her then I'd say she needs to think about her attitude before hiding behind the "never hit a woman" addage, but his reaction was way over the top. Have seen a guy do similar to that in a club and he got chased out by half a dozen guys who battered the crap out of him for it.

I rather enjoyed the three in a row that Lennox Lewis put Justin Fortune away with. Granted, Fortune wasn't the greatest fighter ever, but to see a heavyweight throw three uppercuts in a row, that quickly, was a thing of beauty.

It's sometimes difficult to judge when a hook has become an uppercut, and two of the best KOs I've seen have been hybrids of those punches.

Jersey Joe Walcott's KO of Ezzard Charles is a historic moment in the sport, while Azumah Nelson's KO of Pat Cowdell was a chilling execution of a decent and sturdy fighter.

Roy Jones on Montell Griffin 2.

Buster Douglas uppercut virtually ko'd Tyson on his feet, the following shots that dropped him were a mere formality.

Just watched the vid. The guy was out of line. I've never hit a woman, but I wouldn't say I never would - if a woman violently attacked me then she'd be a fool to think that no man wouldn't strike her back to protect himself. Likewise, if a woman attacked my son I'd rip her throat out the same as if she were a man attacking him. But those are exceptional circumstances, this guy had a troublesome passenger on his bus and took a massive cheap shot at her (and still couldn't lay her out!). He should've either refused to move the bus until she got off, or called the rozzas. She was a nasty dirty mouthed ho'or but his behaviour is inexcusable.

The uppercut Eubank hit Watson with was litterally a punch from hell.

It's an obvious one, but it's got to be Matthew Saad Muhammad's lead left uppercut on Lottie Mwale. Absolutely chilling.

Can't view the video, unfortunately!

Ah, but you can, Chris. And you're quite right, it is possibly the best ever pure example of the punch.

One of the best I have ever seen was Ricardo Lopez v Kitichai Preecha. It was the finishing shot of a three punch sequence that is delivered in about half a second and just completely crushes Preecha.

Lopez throws a left jab, right cross and finishes with a left uppercut of pure brilliance. Your brain is slowly computing the left jab, and in the meantime, Preecha is flat out on the canvas. If I knew how to do it, I would post the link but I urge people to watch it, it is an amazing sight, particularly in slow motion.

Just had a quick look at that one now, Tino, and I'm glad I did as I hadn't seen it before. Brilliant stuff from Lopez - you're definitely the biggest 'El Finito' fan ever to grace either version of 606!

Keeping the thread going, I'd throw in Foreman's left uppercut which finished off Cooney. A great display of the awesome power George had in his arsenal even at an advanced age. He literally strolled across the ring to Cooney as if he was taking a leisurely walk in the park, put him over with the uppercut, and then strutted over to the other side of the ring to converse with the journalists in attendance. Incredible power delivered with stunning arrogance.

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it mate. It's strange how something so sickening can look so graceful.

Yep, El Finito is a 'God' in my eyes, buddy.

Tina, you may be able to confirm. Did Lopez knock out Vilamor with an uppercut on the undercard of Tyson v Bruno II. If so, it was brutal and beautiful (coming at the end of a 3 or 4 punch combination). I was very drunk and may have imagined it, but it's my abiding memory from that night along with Vilamor (if it was him) crumpling to the canvas.

Haven't seen the fight or the punch since and not sure if it is on youtube.

Aye, super, that he did. I had forgotten about that fight actually. From memory, it was just a single punch or maybe just following a jab, but it was brutal and caused one of those slightly delayed action falls from Villamor. It left him spreadeagled on the floor. Sickening punch. Villamor had actually given El Finito one of his toughest nights as well. Lopez actually had to get into third gear instead of cruising along in second.

Cheers, Tina - that's ended years of doubt that I had actually seen it.

Vilamor's delayed reaction was almost comical. Not quite in the Judah stakes but from memory he does look inquisitively at Lopez for half a second or so before realising what's happened and then crumpling like an accordian to the floor.

Thanks for confirming it was one punch and not the end of a combination. Now I think about it with confidence that I actually did see it, did Lopez not draw Vilamor in with a feint and then unleash the uppercut?

I just found the link actually, super. Your memory serves you well enough, mate. It is stunning, it really is. Villamor, a leftie, is following Lopez around before Finito throws a little feint by dropping his left shoulder. Villamor hangs out a lazy right jab and Lopez, quick as a flash just unloads a lead left uppercut. Villamor stares at him before crumbling to the canvas. He kind of lifts his head at one point but is completely 'gone' and the ref takes his shield out and cradles his head.

When you watch it, you can almost see Lopez thinking 'right, I will just drop my shoulder here and see what he does' before he sees the opening and exploits it with venom.

The more I think about it, Lopez is the greatest fighter ever. FACT.

Great stuff, Tina. I'll have a look at it later.

I think that had it not happened that way Eubanks one would have been top rated - I've never seen one land so cleanly right on the dot

Buster Douglas on Tyson

Bowe on Holyfield during round 10 of the first fight, never seen a punch hurt prime Holyfield anywhere near as much.

Bert Cooper v Cecil Coffee

Greatest technique ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu8LGkgpexM

Those two mentioned above by Lopez are absolute beauties.

Just watched the uppercut against Vilamor for the first time in 16 years. Always thought there was a danger I'd glorified it but its actually better than I remember.

That uppercut would have KO'd Khan.....that biatch is nails!!!

Devon Alexander knocked Urango down and then out with a great couple of uppercuts.

Hamed against Boom Boom Johnson was a good uppercut to finish too.

Randall Bailey vs Mike Jones, boom.

regarding the bus driver I believe he was well within his rights to attack her. Firstly she was being very aggressive towards him and secondly she attacked him whilst he was driving a bus full of passengers.

Not only did he have to defend himself but he has to defend the passengers because if she carried on attacking him whilst he was driving he could have crashed the bus killing the passengers.

He could not have just got up and pushed her off the bus because she would have hit him etc or even be carrying a knife so he had to do a 'surprise' hit to end the confrontation.

Also it is important to add that the woman was 25 and the bus driver was 60.

Douglas on Tyson and also Tyson on Douglas in the same fight both huge shots.
George Foreman's uppercuts on Norton and on Frazier where evil blows as well.

You are either an attention seeker or deserving of a kicking.

You have just been attacked whilst driving a bus ( the video clearly shows the girl hitting the driver first whilst he is driving the bus) and the person who attacked you is still standing 5 feet away from you shouting at you. You have a bus full of passengers which could all get injured if you get hit again and lose control of the bus. What do you do? you stop the bus and defend yourself. He defended himself by striking the girl. remember we are talking about a 60 year old man defending himself too.

Not sure what the criteria is for 'best', but this one certainly sickened me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiGTFPRQbLU

The driver and passengers were not in danger. He could have got her off without punching her.

Maybe he couldn't get it up and had to get his adrenaline up first

Your talking about his age as though he has leprosy.

60 year old is no age these days. He's only 11 years older than B-hop.

Any sane man would have restrained her and ejected her. Only a coward would sucker her with a full force cheap shot uppercut. You are a punk.

Then call the police. That girl should press charges for assault. That guy is an A grade pu$$y.

it was a poor taste joke but to address the charges comment - I suspect assaulting a driver while hes driving a bus is probabyl a felony so she would get in as much Poopie as he if not worse

What he did was assault and battery.

Not disagreeing with you - he certainly should be sanctioned but her life will suffer more from the felony which is probably why she hasnt pressed charges.

what he did was defend himself. You going to try and restrain someone who has just attacked you and could eb carrying a weapon?

He was in the right for what he did and he defended himself and the passengers. Him and the passengers were in danger him because he was just hit by the girl and the passengers because A) she could have attacked a passenger and B) because she could have attacked the driver again whilst he was driving causing him to crash the bus

Yeah i see your point, I'm going to start chinning aggressive gobby women down the town in case they've got a knife.

In fact I'm so convinced by your precaution is the safest way postulation that I'm going to A) start shooting barking dogs in case they've Rabies and B) start splatting spotty kids in case they've got small pox.

In what way was he defending himself? He walked up to her and clocked her. Didn't look like self defence to me. More like frustration. What danger? The bus was stationary. There is no coulda, woulda shouda. Stick with what is. He walked up to her and hit her. Assault there and then.

the girl hit him and was then standing 5 feet away threatning to hit him again. he stopped the bus got up and hit her. tthat is defending himself. the bus was only stationary cos he stopped it to get up and defend himself.

If someone hits you in the face and is standing 5 feet away from you threatning to hit you again you will (or you should) defend yourself. you could defend yourself by hitting the person.

Fair enough. Only a pu$$y would hit a woman like that. If a woman did that to me I still wouldn't uppercut her. No way. But I suppose we're different.

that wasn't defending himself, it was a pre-emptive strike. I'm with Az on this one.

... I agree az , an uppercut is a Cat punch...drop her with a left hook i say, a real man's punch
