What about Kermit Cintrons last fight? That was pretty brutal too.
Mattysshe - as has been mentioned in the thread.
Wilson-Nwodo was brutal, but Donaire-Darchinyan was just as much, and in a far more significant fight. I know Knockout of the Year is supposed to be limited to just the knockout itself - but I'm going against the grain and picking Donaire-Darchinyan.
Sadly, I was just talking to a friend about another highlight reel knockout earlier this year - Andy Tsurkan-Sammy Sparkman on ESPN2. I say sadly, as Sammy and I (as well as the person I was discussing with the fight with) are good friends.
Can someone post this knockout? I didn't see the Wilson fight.
I thought the Pavlick-Zertuche knockout was pretty brutal.

Watch his left leg when he goes down. FUCK.
Wilson-Nwodo
Andy Lee-Carl Daniels
Cintron-Matthyse
Pavlik-Zertuche
Donaire-Darchinyan
Calzaghe-Manfredo
That last one was a joke:ugh: But the other's I named are IMO the top KO's this year.
