    Which would you say was the better uppercut KO? Both have a case for being KO of the year.

    Orginally Davis but someone made a few arguments for Povetkin and I think i changed my mind.

    Povetkin's uppercut was more shocking,
    But I think Tanks uppercut was the better shot.

    Povetkin - Whyte was two genuine heavyweights, not a total size mismatch like davis-leo.

    Hmmmm, both uppercuts were great shots and even though I wanted Leo to win and said he would.. I have to hold my hands up and say "wow, what a finish" and credit Davis for it.

    But, Personally, I think Povetkins was better, this not me being salty or bitter, I genuinely believe it, the way he fainted to the body and then brought the shot up was special, a real classy move.

    But I'll say once again, both great shots and I won't argue over it, just an opinion isn't it, whatever you liked.

    Both were good but the Davis uppercut was simply brutal.

    Leo Santa Cruz is a twig. Whyte is a giant.

    Davis was EXPECTED to KO Cruz. Whyte was EXPECTED to KO Povetkin.

    Povetkin KO > Davis KO

    Hard to choose, but If I had to, I’m going with Davis

    A toss-up. Davis's was more sensational-looking but I really liked the way Povetkin set his up, and the fact that he got so much leverage on it without winding up.
