Crushing 1st round knockouts.

Mike Tyson vs Clifford Etienne FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT - YouTube

off topic clay-bey vs ettiene, great fight. Loved the 1th round KO Tacki scored on Garcia which was out of left field. Tyson's K.O on Botha after 6 or 7 rounds, nice.

 

If we're talking sickening brutality - then Johansson vs Machen must rank pretty close to the top:

Best counter punch Quarry ever landed

 

I believe Duran-Huertas was Roberto’s MSG debut.

The story goes that Duran (who at this time was not an experienced world traveler and hadn’t yet discovered many of our simple delights) said he wanted to go get some ice cream after the fight and they told him he’d better get it over with quickly because the ice cream shops in New York would be closed if he didn’t, haha.

 

Followed by one of the great quotes from a fighter. When Quarry was asked if he found Bodell awkward, he replied "well, he fell kinda awkward".

Leonards blitzkrieg of Andy "The Hawk" Price
comes to mind.... Price it was said was just
as fast as Leonard and was supposed to be a difficult
challenge for him.
Someone forgot to tell Leonard that.....

 

this probably the best example of prime Tyson, the way he uses combinations with body shots, his speed and timing where Spinks never really has a chance to react or answer back with anything, his adjusting to the height of Spink's head as he's starting to go down to deliver the final blow

Fans were chanting FIX after that one as Walcott went down from next to nothing and hopped up as soon as the 10 count was completed.

John Ruiz didn't pop up after the Tua KO.

 

Deontay Wilder - Sergei Liakhovich
Tim Witherspoon - Anders Eklund

Both guys ended the fight convulsing on the floor.

 

the best thing about that was how the commentators were talking mad **** "Tyson just showing no speed whatsoever, he looks like he's in slow motion, he just can't get off punches, that is the mark of a shot fighter"

and then boom, one of the greatest right hand KOs of all time

 

Would have been cool to see that one.
