    You might be right Eddie, been many years since I watched it tbh. Same for Jofre-Medel, my memory is often sketchy. I'm glad that @Bujia mentioned it so that I know I didn't imagine it in the throes of sleep deprivation. Love them 6 o clock starts on 12 hour shifts and demonically possessed toddlers all day every weekend. Makes me miss living at home not having a job and pretending that 8 hours a day on the old ESB was a constructive thing to do with me life.

    I haven’t watched it in forever but if I remember correctly it was one big punch that shifted the momentum in James Toney vs. Michael Nunn

    The left hook Donaire landed on Inoue is a good modern example.

    Dustin Nichols brutal power jab that knocked Wilder out of his boots.

    If it wasnt for Wilder's iron forged jaw, which was irreparably damaged by the savage blow, we'd probably be hailing Nichols as the undisputed heavyweight ruler.
    Nichols surely would have unified with A.J. luring him in with his Ali waddle and blasted him over the top ropes & onto press row with a monstrous check jab blow.

    Israel Vazquez's come from behind left hook on Jhonny Gonzalez after getting outboxed for 9 rounds.

    Lennox Lewis' right hand on Vitali Klitschko in round 3 that caused the cut on his left eye, which would ultimately play a factor in the early stoppage.

    Jackosn vs Norris, I still remeber Dan Dierdorf's praising Norris's performance and then Jackson unloads and Norris is out.

    Watson wasn't just winning every minute of every round against Eubank, he was almost holding him up to humiliate him. It was that one-sided. Eubank stated he quit in the sixth round because Watson wasn't budging or slowing, so just stayed in there to take the beating and be carried out.

    The shot was so unexpected. It was Watson who was carried out. Unreal.

    Graham was angry that Jackson busted his newly fixed teeth apparently.
