donaire-montiel hands down.
the other two KOs were both more brutal but the question was which is more impressive, and the most skillful KO was donaires by far. theres a saying in boxing "good fighters capitalize on their oponents mistakes, great fighters make them make those mistakes".
well donaire was the only one who did that, pac and martinez just capitalized on a long list of mistakes by hatton and williams.
ffs williams walked in a straight line, without moving his head, right into martinez' range, over reaching with a wide lead roundhouse left while keeping his right hand down. WTF! if u do that at the top level u are supposed to get KTFO.
hatton aswell except trade the reaching wide punch with a squared up upper body and the chin right up in the air. i struggle to decide whos more amateurish.
montiel did nothing wrong. it was tremendous timing, accuracy, boxing IQ and coordination on donaires part to figure out were montiels head was at when he threw his right and then roll the right and fire a left hook at the same time with his full bodyweight behind it. it was perfectly executed making for a punch impossible to see. it was the sweet science in all its glory lol. great stuff.
