the Most destructive demonstration of pugilism inside a british ring in last 20 years

I seem to remember the first Choi Tseveenpurev - Derry Matthews fight being quite brutal

Haye vs Maccarinelli anyone?

Sprott's KO of Harrison is always one of my favourites

Not forgetting Haye v Harrison

 

Especially bearing mind that Bute was considered to be an absolute killer at the time, making Froch a massive underdog, even at home.

 

Getting bad ain't it!!

Froch v Bute was a destruction though.

 

For a beatdown that lasted a while and was not one huge shot. Carl Froch beat down of Lucian Bute was brutal.

 

Bute was a bum who had a glass jaw. He got beaten up by Andrade but was carried by the ref.

 

Does anyone know of a fighter who looks sicker and more weight drained than Derry is here?

I never understood what Derry was doing walking around like a skeleton for most of his career

 

Its when you see fights like that you realise barreras beating of naz wasn,t down to just luck or naz not taking it seriously. Barrera was just a serious fighter.

No shame losing to barrera the way naz did...but reckon he,d have lost at any point. Barrera was just that good. Naz was great....barrera was just a level above.

 

Joe Calzaghe beating snot out of Jeff Lacy for 12 rounds.

It didn't end in a KO, but Lacy was an undefeated world champion who was the bookies odds on favourite and after this fight he wasn't never the same again.

Calzaghe didn't just destroy him on the night, he destroyed his career.

 

Inoue vs Payano. Was in Scotland so technically still GB but boy that KO will never get old in my opinion.

Pac/Hatton.

That fight ruined Hatton as a Boxer AND as a person.

Most violent KO of the decade.
