Cintron KO better than Ding or Donaire?

I don't know, that was a pretty spectacular finish. As explosive and bizarre as it was, Nwodo's last stand was a little anti-climactic as he was basically out on his feet the whole round. And I missed the Nonito fight, but I've seen the part where Vic got starched, and it was pretty sweet.

But this was damn near perfect. A pinball KO, if you will...bounced him off one glove, onto the other, and through the canvas. Truly brutal stuff.

In what order would you rate the three?

 

Going purely on the punches though, I think each was better than the one before it. The first of Cintron's punches had Matthyse out, the second just expedited his gravity ride. That was a scary combo that dented both sides of Walter's skull.

Nonito's punch may have had a little less spank on it, but was still perfectly crisp and sublimely timed. He had Vic's number and he knew what to do with it.

Ding deserves all the credit in the world for pulling out an amazing win, and at the time I was sure nothing could surpass it as KOOTY. But stacked against the other two, the punch itself was just a textbook hook from a big, powerful guy landed on an opponent that at that point was no longer intelligently defending himself.

All three knockouts were brilliant and featured devastating punches. But in terms of p4p speed, power, and brutality of the finishing shots themselves, I stand behind my voting of Cintron, Donaire, and Wilson.

 

I see that Darnell is online with us at the moment...care to give your appraisal on this sensational trio of vaporizations?

 

I gotta agree to disagree here, I think all three were exciting. And (can't speak on Darchinyan-Donaire until I see the whole thing) the Wilson and Cintron fights were exciting on the whole, in very different ways. For the whole fight Cintron was in control and it was like a tense hunt where you knew something incredible was on the precipice but didn't know it would arrive so suddenly or with such ferocity (starting with the first of the 2nd round KDs). Ding-Nwodo was just sustained back and forth action with both guys thinking well on their feet and making adjustments and showing incredible chin and heart.

My vote stays even if you don't extract the punches from the contexts, my point was moreso to show that even if you do narrow it down to the pinpoint moments themselves, under close examination each knockout-of-07 candidate featured more brutal punches than the previous.

 

Hm, that's just showing up as a white box :huh

Ok, looking at it now with the code on it I think maybe if you just narrow the it down to the string of letters at the end and get rid of the url it should work.

Yep that does it!

 

Needed the straight right? It followed the hook in the blink of an eye, Matthyse simply hadn't had a chance to begin to fall yet. His eyes were already closed!

 

interesting, pretty varied results. the leading option is the exact opposite of mine, but that's ok. :yep as i've said every one of these was very easy to appreciate, and very hard to compare definitively with the others.
