    The right cross wlad landed on AJ would have K.O'd a ****ing elephant, the upper cut AJ basically ended wlad with was probably the single hardest uppercut I've ever seen since maybe chris byrd vs the president. Wlad almost got lifted off his feet.

    Lennox Lewis vs Vitali? Biggest uppercut since that. Crazy that Vitali took that one.

    Let me guess, only old school guys hit hard. Those old timers would be on the floor from those two bombs.

    Joe Fraiser did get lifted off his feet by a George Foreman uppercut.

    My man Briedis threw a hell of an upper cut vs Charr. :D Can't be compared to this, you say? Your argument is invalid.

    The lead left hook that Wlad dropped Mercer with was harder than anything landed tonight. And that's just one example.


    Waiting for the usual... "Bu.. Bu..But Mercer was 41 years old doe!!" :D

    Go ahead! Say it! Dare ya..

    The uppercut is up there. Not sure I'd say the same about the right hand.

    Both are a damn sight harder than anything Earnie Shavers landed, however.

    Really can't discredit either chin given how hard both hit.. Some here think if you got down your chinis sh1t but it is what happens after you go done i.e. get back up and keep fighting..

    Both did well..
