    Never seen footage of this it has to be one of the scariest knockouts I've ever seen absolutely brutal.

    MF'er could KO anyone. The snap and twitch on that hook is just sick.

    If you look closely, you can see the moment he forgets his mum's name and his wife's birthday.

    I only wish they had the multiple camera angles back then

    Damn that looked scary. Just another reason why Frazier has arguably the greatest left hooks in boxing. That shot looked like it nearly killed Jones.

    His first head movement looks like he should come up with the hook then, but he drops to switch sides indicating a right but doesn't go all the way over and comes up with it

    That's just a different level Holyfield would get lit up on the inside

    Jones was the last ranked fighter he actually knocked out.

    Aside from being a scary KO, Doug Jones was no slouch. Jones fought just about everyone in that era and gave as good as anyone.

    A savage ending made to look like another day at the office for Frazier, so natural was his delivery of that left hook.

    I never saw this before either. What a KO. I watched it a couple of times and I noticed this one dude in the audience - just to the right of Jones - and you can see the look on his face as Frazier lands the left hook that just says, "Ohhhh!"
