Knockout of the year...

[oldgringo]

Donaire KO5 Darchinyan

At this point is has to be that picture perfect left hook counter by Donaire. I'd say that Ledesma KO5 Stark is right there too, but Darchinyan was a higher profile victim.

Here's Ledesma/Stark:



Here's Donaire/Darchinyan:



Both were brutal one punch knockouts.

EDIT: Here's Wilson/Nwodo:

tough..but i think i might have to give it to donaire seeing as everyone had there money on darchiniyan and donaire pulled it off..and that was just a perfect counter left hook..god damn

Nothing beats Wilson's left hook against Nwodo.

[Mishra100]

The nwodo fight was the biggest knockout this year. I don't think anything will top that.

Nothing beats Wilson's left hook against Nwodo.

I would say that's up there too, but Nwodo was a journeyman who was on ***** street the entire time leading up to the savage left hook.

Those ^ were both HUGE upsets. Wilson was the favorite to win if I recall correctly. Those one punch KOs were a bit more quality than Wilson's left hook in my opinion.

[oldgringo]

Timing a fresh, dangerous opponent and putting him to sleep with one beautiful punch is more impressive than swinging for the fences.

Stark looked like he was ****ing dead. Hah...Nwodo did too though.

Wilson v.s nwodo as well............

[Derranged_]

I really like the ledesma KO because of the old "one-two" combination but think Donaire's KO of Darchinyan was much more dramatic because of the way Vic tried to get up and then stumble down into the ropes. Whoever you vote for, its good to be a boxing fan in 2007....

That left hook Evander landed on Savarese late in the fight was feroce. Can't believe Lou got up, one of the best knockdowns all year, maybe the best. Donnaire's knockout of Darchinyan was brutal.
