The quickest knockout in recorded history, including the full 10 count from the ref, was a welterweight fight from 1946, when Al Couture knocked out Ralph Walton in 10.5 seconds.
tyson didnt KO golota in the first he knocked him down and golota refused to fight at the beginning of the third(?) round. i thought i was kinda funny. what a pussy.
The quickest ever...Thunder v. Grimsley
I don't know if someone has already said this on this thread, but Jimmy Thunder pulverized Crawford Grimsley on Tuesday Night Fights with the first punch he threw. Grimsley was still throwing punches at ghosts when he was on the floor. It was like 14 or 15 seconds, maximum. They literally walked straight to the center of the ring, Grimsley threw ought a lazy jab and Jimmy Thunder brought a right hand over the top of it, if I remember right.
The fastest knockout I have seen (including the count) is when
Nicky Piper knocked out John Ellis in 12 seconds.
Not really a fair knockout as Ellis was reaching out his hand to touch gloves and Piper dropped one on him
angel torres gabriel kazan
he hit him when they were about to touch gloves to start round 1 at the bell
for those who havent seen it, its on my site
I agree. That was the quickest I've seen...and also the most unsportsmanlike conduct I've ever seen :mad:
