    I voted Povetkin because it was so heavily against the run of play. Really came out of nowhere. Both great KO's though

    I mean povetkins was like an actual beautiful punch the davis shot was picture perfect but the way povetkin set up his shot and it was so crisp and tight. And it was more unexpected povetkin was down several times in trouble everyone expected tank to spark leo.

    Both were amazing koes. Davis set up his KO every well. He began shoving Leo to create space and then procced to shift from southpaw to orthodox to land the uppercut - beautiful KO!

    Both were great uppercuts that splattered their opponent.

    Maybe it was more impressive that Povetkin at his age was able to throw an uppercut with such velocity precision and force. He pulled the trigger on that small window of opportunity proving guys can still be good at an advanced age these days.
