I’m with you. Tyson took a combo as sweet as any he ever delivered. To Mike’s credit he wasent out cold, and searched for his mouth guard. Course he did put it in upside down and backwards, which has become more iconic than the actual punches he took.

Sugar Ray Leonard’s nasty combo which left Donny Lalonde bloodied and flat on the canvas.
I’m half and half on whether I can call this a truly underrated knockout. It’s not as obscure as most of the others on this forum, but I feel like it’s not as iconic as it probably should be. I dunno. Let me know whether or not you feel this knock out is underrated. I’ll try to stick with even lesser known knockouts from now on.
In the meantime, keep posting any clips of obscure but awesome knockouts that come to your mind.

You have to forward to round 7. It’s more of a cumulative breakdown of Biggs, where the knockout is just inevitable when it happens.Originally posted by Flickergrab98 View Post

I love it when opponents come in and knock out the intended winner. Derry Mathews was supposed to be a stepping stone for Tommy Coyle, this knockout actually made me a fan of Dirty Derry. Unfortunately the ref gets in the way of the KO in real time so skip to 2:03 to see another angle of it.

A perfect example of a fighter losing respect for his opponent. His hands are down at his waist after he throws his last punch. Tried, he thought he could just wind up and throe; he wasn't boxing at the end.Originally posted by anonymous2.0 View Post

No I can't sorry - that's what I meant by 'I no got.' I just remember it was a great blow that ended a close fight with one body shot.Originally posted by Flickergrab98 View Post

Kotsya Tzuyu’s KO of Zab Judah. His wobbly legs upon trying to get up, among other things, make this a memorable one.
I kinda wish I could put the clip of Super Judah’s super entertaining knockdown of DeMarcus Corley, but since that wasn’t a knockout, it can’t be included.Comment

First off, Tzuyu's remarks are crap . . . Yes the first time Judah leaps to his feet he is 'out of it' but by the time he looks up at the referee, from back down on the canvas, he is obviously clear headed. The notion that he would have been 'seriously hurt' if allowed to continue is crap.Originally posted by Flickergrab98 View Post
No doubt the referee's call is the correct one, the rules are explicit, a fighter who rises after a KD and returns to the canvas is automatically DQed.
When I see this replay it always makes me rethink how high Gene Tunney's ring IQ must have been.
Tunney was KD only once in 90 plus fights (obviously the 'long count') yet he handled the crisis perfectly.
You can see when he is down that he is 'out of it' but as his head clears he ever so slightly starts to pull himself up, but catches himself and doesn't rise, he instead picks up the referee's count (and was probably surprised to find how low it was) and realizes he can stay down for a few more important seconds clearing his head completely.
That's how you handle a KD.
Judah couldn't have handled it more wrongly! Too bad, Judah had more fight in him and it was a great fight up to the moment.
