Aside from the expectation that Tyson would knock guys out in round 1, and other scenarios like that, have you ever seen a fighter publicly state on record that he's going to finish a guy in a round, and then actually do it?
I remember a couple of close ones.. Floyd predicted he would finish Ndou (I believe it was round 6?) and then finished him off in the very next round
I'll never forget Holy saying he was going to take Lewis out in round 3 and he came out swinging! Although Lewis was really in no danger of going out. I mention this mainly because I thought it was hilarious that when asked what he would do if he couldn't get Lewis out of there in 3, Holyfield responded with "There is no plan B."
I remember Roach saying Pac was going to beat Oscar in the round that it actually happened, although I did not hear it from Pac.
Anybody else?
