Greatest first round knockouts

[Mr. Ryan]

We do not feel used because we talk about the sport we love.

Yeah **** it, it's boxing. How about Rosario when he got TKO'ed by Hiranaka. That was some blitz.

Tua-Ruiz is the goat.

Tysons got great first round knockouts. The quality of opposition isn’t the highest but it’s great entertainment.

David Jaco – Jaco can barely land a punch on Tyson, the best he can do is tie Tyson up occasionally. He’s gets knocked around the ring like a rag doll. The fight is stopped on the third knockdown. Morrisson also had a great first round, one punch knockout of Jaco.

Michael Jack Johnson – Tyson drops Johnson with a left hook to the body. Johnson gets up, Tyson throws one right hand and sends him right back down, ending the fight.

Reggie Gross – Tyson stands in front of Gross and dodges like ten punches in a row then throws one and knocks Gross down. 5 seconds later Gross is down again, fights over.

Robert Colay – Tyson comes in low under Colay’s punches. Drops Colay with a picture perfect left hook on the chin.

Sammie Scaff – Big, heavy, slow. Scaff was a punching bad for Tyson.

As far as new fights go, I think Allan Green's knockout of Jaidon Codrington MUST be mentioned. That was one of the most savage knockouts I've ever seen. Codrington was a hot prospect at that point, now he's on the road to redemption.

Yeah that **** was awesome and frightening at the same time. I remember that there was this lady at ring side all happy and **** and when she saw Jaidon collapse you could see her saying "Oh my God"...

No bull****, I thought Jaidon had died when he went through the ropes. His body was stiff.

How does this sound? I need to submit an intro paragraph on first round KOs to a magazine, and this is what I have. You like?

When commentators are reading the tale of the tape, they relate the distance as 12 rounds or less. Unlike other sports, boxing matches can end in an instant. One lightning right hand or a sweeping left hook is all it takes to bring a halt to the action, whether in the first 10 seconds or the last 10 seconds.

Among the various scenarios in which knockouts can occur, the most unpredictable are the ones that don't make it out of the first round. There are many factors that can create a first round knockout. Going from 0-60 in the opening stanza can be difficult to do, so a boxer getting caught cold may never recover from an opponent's initial blitz. Conversely, a fighter whose nerves are jumping may get frozen by a more experienced pug with a professional's flair.

That, or sometimes a guy just hits real hard.

No matter the instigating factors, one thing that cannot be disputed is the sheer entertainment value of a dominating first round knockout. Follow us as we examine the sport's ultimate cure for a short attention span.

Those early Tyson fights are awsome to watch. Tyson's head movement was awsome back then, not only was he strong as a bull but no one could touch him. The Colay fight especially, there is a slo-mo clip on youtube, where you see Tyson get real low and dodge about 3 Colay hooks and then rise up and nail Colay with a huge left hook, its really a thing of beauty. Then in the Johnson fight, Tyson rocks Johnson with a body shot and floors him, the ref asks Johnson if he wants to continue and Johnson begrudging says yes but he looks terrified. Then Tyson walks up and clobbers him with the most viscious right hand I've ever seen him throw, Johnson's face (another slo-mo clip) looks like it caves in when he gets hit. Too bad Tyson didn't continue to fight like this, and instead became a slugger/head hunter.
