Pernell Whitaker VS Diosbelys Hurtado

There you go. Whitaker was behind, Hurtado was employing the tactic of hit and run.

[Burning Desire]

When I think of ruthless conclusions, I always think of Ray Robinson at middleweight. The way he waxed off Randy Turpin in the rematch and how he ended Jake Lamotta's reign in the St. Valentine's Day Massace, those were classic and finalizing endings put on two very tough guys. Robinson pinned them to the ropes and landed unanswered blows like it was a liquidation sale on pain.

Joe Louis' revenge against Max Schmelling was also punishing. Schmelling was screaming in pain from a kidney punch and seemed to rock back from every punch.

Mike Tyson had some excellent finishes, but I'd say the Pinklon Thomas one was pretty bad. It's hard to really narrow down one guy who stood up to sustained punishment from Tyson, though.

Pacquiao is a highlight reel of finishes. The way he got Morales in the third fight was good, but I like the way he pursued Jorge Julio en route to the stoppage.

Julio Cesar Chavez's finishing flurry against Edwin Rosario was nice. That is the perfect way to finish a guy, head and body.

Aaron Pryor might take the cake with the way he dusted off Arguello in the first fight. It's hard to narrow down a more devastating sustained flurry than the one that happened in the 14th round.

Pernell Whitaker destroying Hurtado in the 11th round with a sustained attack of straight lefts.

But one of the most violent finishes i've ever see was Benny Kid Paret vs Emile Griffth 3rd fight, Paret took about 20 + unanswered punches and he slipped into a coma then died 10 days later here is the clip of it.

Tony Zale vs Rocky Graziano III was brutal.

Graziano looked like he was out the first time he went down but the referee pretty much lifted him back up.
Zale finished the job with a brutal combination of punches that left Graziano out cold on the canvas for minutes.

Robinson knocking Graziano's mouthpiece out was quite brutal too.


Ike Williams destroys Beau Jack

Johansson vs Patterson & Machen were already mentioned.

There is a thread in the Boxing History forum about the most brutal KO's in the history of Boxing.

Some KO vid's in there.


Johansson vs Eddie Machen, maybe the most brutal IMO.


40 year old Sonny Liston's hopes about getting another title shot are destroyed by Leotis Martin (who unfortunately had to retire after this fight).
Liston went down like he was shot dead and he did die shortly after the win over Chuck Wepner.

wtf is that moronic ref letting it go on in johansson vs eddie machen??
****** ****HEAD.

Yes they did until the Benny Paret vs Emile Griffith fight (shown on national television) and most importantly the Ray Mancini vs Duk Koo Kim fight.

After Mancini vs Kim many changes to the rules of Boxing were made but the referee stoppages became more usual after the Paret vs Griffith fight.

these ref's come across like ****'s.
