Non-punchers scoring surprise knockouts.

Also Gus Lesnevich after returning from World War 2 started scoring KOs over highly rated guys and in title fights. Before the War he had 16 KOs to his name in 67 fights, after returning his final 8 wins saw him score 7 knockouts in those wins.

 

that was to the body tho

 

Paulie Malignaggi knocking out Senchenko to win the WW title

 

Well, if you want to nominate Josh Warrington, his stoppage of Samir Mouneimne for the Commonwealth title was really unexpected in its day. It was, in fact, the first time he'd won a bout inside the distance as a professional.

Cuts, but, yes, an unforeseen stoppage victory for the Magic Man. I remember going against the grain and picking Paul to win that one, but the manner in which he did it was unexpected. Great performance. I seem to recall it being in the afternoon UK time, but my memory may be out.

 

Looked it up, fight got going around 17:00 in the UK. Wonderful afternoon/evening, as a Malignaggi supporter.

 

lol

 

non-puncher, lol

 

Douglas was a big heavy and the smaller Tyson was just the right height for Douglas to tee-off on and catch sweet, he was born to land an uppercut on a heavyweight Tyson`s size.

 

Ishida vs Kirkland
And a more recent one is Rosado vs Melikuziev (Bek the Bully)

 

Ward vs Kovalev 2

 

Andy Ruiz vs Big Joshie

 

Douglas was never known as a big puncher though. And although he was six inches taller than Tyson, he was only 11 pounds heavier.

 

Calvin Grove-Jeff Fenech.

 

Malignaggi dropping Senchenko with a body shot was shocking! Then getting a ref stoppage as well?! Lol
