Excellent shot!

I honestly don’t think you have the faintest idea what you observe on film. Then again, many can literally see something on film that’s obvious but will convince their minds they did not see what the rest of the world clearly saw. But, to each their crazy own I guess.

I mean it’s not even in dispute that Wilder is one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing history. Helenius was being set up for that punch and this is one of the first fights I ever witnessed Wilder using excellent boxing skills. He baited Helenius into that shot. What you call a slap was a man over 240 pounds walking with all of his weight into one of the hardest KO artists in boxing history’s right hand. It didn’t take a full extension of his punch to reach the desired outcome. His eyes rolled straight to the back of his head.

but….keep on hating

That punch was half-way extended. I just don't see how he got enough momentum to knock Helenius flat out like that. He hurt him for sure, but that punch sparked him? It looks strange. Plus, Helenius' eyes didn't roll to the back of his head. They rolled toward the referee, most likely observing the count. He's a 38-year-old heavyweight who was in his last money fight. Why not make it quick? Wilder's a great puncher, no doubt but that's a stretch even for him.

Thanks for giving this overconfident idiot an award for knocking out a shot fighter. The guy already thinks hes a ****ing hall of famer now he's gonna think he's immortal.

No debate on this one. That was a perfect left hook.

So ****in what. Over a shot to **** fighter. By an average Top 25 boxer.

Plant's timing on that hook was pretty darn perfect despite what you may think of either fighter. KO of the year? Maybe, maybe not; still a near-flawless execution.

I honestly believe Plant will expose El Bandera Roja. Happy to eat crow on that, but he simply has a better ring IQ IMO.

Yep you will be eating crowe alright.

I absolutely adore and find it very cute that the Plant hater community have shown up to contest something that’s not even in dispute.

Lol stay salty casuals.

Wait what? You know Direll is old and shot right. What exactly are you trying to defend here, that plant sucks and lost to Canelo who got beaten 12-0 by Bivol? Something Plant couldn't do?

So ****in what. Over a shot to **** fighter. By an average Top 25 boxer.

The debate was KOOTY. None of that other stuff matters. That was beautiful one-punch KO that deserved the award IMO. That's it.

Great knockout for Plant coming off the Canelo loss but I really liked the Cordino KO over Ogawa for the IBF strap.

Goddamn,missed that one.Absolutely beautiful feint to the body setting up that right.Definitely KO of the year right there! Suprised he was even able to attempt to get up. Lol at Hearn running around like a schoolgirl after the shot.

Yep you will be eating crowe alright.

I will humbly go all Danny DeVito on that **** should Benavidez show me something semi-remarkable.

Who is other?

Biv, FOTY
