KO of the Day: Yuriorkis Gamboa v. Al Seeger
Well that's how you come back from what some people considered a "disappointing" performance from Darling Jimenez. At his best, Gamboa is a natural disaster offensively, blowing through and instilling fear and panic in his opponent, then leaving him a wreck on the floor before he even knows...
KO of the Day: Joachim Alcine v. Daniel Santos
For those that have yet to catch the clip, here is the knockout that landed Daniel Santos a 154-pound title last night in Montreal.
KO of the Day: Daniel Ponce de Leon v. Juan Manuel Lopez
Speaks for itself.
KO of the Day: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. v. Ricky Hatton
Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Floyd Mayweather is really retired. This fight would then be the last of his career. And what a performance. People can say whatever they want, and some of what they'll say is true. Yes, Ricky Hatton isn't really a welterweight. For the record,...
KO of the Day: Daniel Ponce de Leon v. Rey Bautista
It was hyped up as what would be a competitive fight between an established titleholder and a young Filipino phenom. Instead, Daniel Ponce de Leon made short, short work of Rey "Boom-Boom" Bautista.
KO of the Day: Maurice Hope v. Wilfred Benitez
Talk about your right hands. Hope was the WBC junior middleweight champion in this fight, with a 30-3-1 record and 24 knockouts. The Antiguan-born pugilist had held the strap for about two years when he faced Benitez (41-1-1), not a particularly big KO artist and best known as a skilled boxer...
KO of the Day: Buster Douglas v. Evander Holyfield
A somewhat overlooked moment in boxing history is Buster Douglas' first defense of the world heavyweight title. When Holmes trounced Ali, Holmes became indisputably the man at heavyweight, even for those that may have still been hanging on to the old Ali's glory days. When Tyson knocked out Larry...
KO of the Day: Naseem Hamed v. Kevin Kelley
"What we just saw was the Hagler-Hearns of featherweight fighting." -- Larry Merchant It might sound like hyperbole now, considering neither Hamed nor Kelley exactly went down as Hall of Famers like Hagler or Hearns, but man, this was some four rounds of brawling. December 19, 1997. Hard to...
KO of the Day: Julian Jackson v. Terry Norris
Sticking with the classic stuff for today, and we might do it for a little while. I love to watch this stuff. I was seven when this fight took place, so what do I know about anything? I do know that Julian Jackson was an absolutely vicious puncher. Terry Norris is in the Hall of Fame. He won four...
KO of the Day: Thomas Hearns v. Roberto Duran
One of the greatest knockouts in boxing history. Scintillating, thunderous, and sudden. June 15, 1984. Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Duran had come up a long way in weight since his high water days at lightweight and welterweight. He had just lost a 15-round decision to Marvin Hagler for the...
