    I believe Jimmy Thunder still holds that distinction of having the quickest KO in history after he knocked out Crawford Grimsley in 13 seconds of the fight right when the opening bell rang.

    No offence to you brother, but the uploader didn’t provide a very good view of the punch.

    Here’s another - see below. The force of that punch was unworldly.

    Criminal that a trainer let a fighter so lacking in skill even get in the ring.

    It’s like watching some of those god awful auditions on American Idol…which always have you wondering HOW no one has let them know how bad they are.

    But again, him merely getting in the ring to duke it out is a lot more than what most people would do…and he did suffer the worst outcome possible….but seriously, what was doin’ with the mouthpiece pushed forward?….lol.

    That's definitely a better angle and video quality of the fastest KO. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey Pug, is it just me or is Jimmy Smith really Thelma's husband Darryl Dickinson from Thelma and Louise?

    I've heard the backstory is that the "real" Jimmy Smith was a known African American fighter to the promoter who no showed the weigh in and that the promoter was known to get last minute replacements from a local bar. This guy was said to be one of the part time bouncers who took $300 to try his hand as a professional fighter.

    Not dissimilar. Shove a gum shield only part way into his mouth and he’s that much closer in appearance again.

    Not sure what that means pug. You might want to regenerate that statement in chat gbt to the point that it makes sense.

    Now that you mention it, it is a little weird. Do you think that oversized mouth piece put ol' Darryl off balence and thats why he looked like a complete idiot trying to box?
