Non-punchers scoring surprise knockouts.

Kiko's ktfo of Barry Galahad

 

Virgil Hill vs Fabrice Tiozzo 2 and Virgil Hill vs James 'The Heat' Kinchen.

 

Whitaker coming from behind to salvage his ODLH payday brutally KOing Hurtado

 

Hearns koing Pipino Cuevas was more shocking IMO since Duran was much smaller than Hearns and obviously took the fight for a quick payday with little to no training, whereas Cuevas was the same size and was considered a monster at that moment in time.

 

Not the best example. Warrington springs to mind with a non puncher hurting an opponent like when he really had Frampton hurt. He was a fast paced volume puncher who fell in love with the idea of his power. Then tried to trade with Lara..

 

Indongo KO1 Troyanovsky

 

Tim Bradley v Brandon Ríos, pretty sure even Bradley said in the lead up to the fight "let's face it, I'm not knocking Brandon Ríos out"

 

That's the first one that came to mind.

 

Douglas-Tyson..... Lol.

 

Fury - Wilder II. People seem to forget that Fury was NOT regarded as a puncher whatsoever. When Wilder said Fury couldn't crack an egg, just about everyone agreed with him whether they thought he would win or not. There really aren't a lot of examples in history of someone regarded as such a soft hitter as Fury going on the front foot KO hunting like he did.

 

Sergio Martinez KOing Paul Williams in the second fight. I don't think anyone really saw Martinez as a KO puncher at the time (45 wins with 24 KOs) and Williams usually had an iron chin. One perfect left hand shot from Martinez put Williams lights out.

 

Glen Johnson/Roy Jones

 

Bentt KO on Morrison
