    Non-punchers scoring surprising knoclouts.

    Sometimes, a fighter who's not considered a hard puncher will win a fight by knockout because he landed a perfect punch right on the button.

    The best example I can think of is Michael Nunn's shocking first round KO of Sumbu Kalambay. Nunn wasn't really known as a puncher, but he landed a beautiful straight left that knocked Kalambay out cold.

      Julius Indongo vs Troyanovsky
      Anthony Crolla vs Ismael Barroso

      Couple of fairly recent shockers I don't feel many/anyone seen coming.

            It wasn't a KO, but that massive right hand that Cunningham (non-puncher) landed on Fury was a great fkin shot. Dropped Fury like a stone.

              This doesn’t quite fit the criteria of being a one punch knockout, but Whittaker’s come from behind ko of Hurtado is the first thing that came to mind.

                Malignaggi pulling off the win of all wins when he knocked out Senchenko. Senchenko went on to destroy prime Hatton, though he was also battered by Special K. Nash out.
