that was a good KO but i think Pac - Hatton KO ranks a tad higher only because Hatton has more claim to being a first teir fighter than Jose Reyes does.
Good to see Pitalua rebound from the Valero loss. This KO should give him some confidence back. As far as KO of the year, #2. Hatton was out cold longer than Reyes.
This would be #1 in most any other year. Still #2 this year though. Pitalua hits like a mule. He had 14 straight KO's going into the Valero fight and he's around 90% KO ratio career wise I think.
It's not like Reyes wasn't outboxing him up to that point...Pitalua has pop, but he's also not that dangerous unless you let him catch you.
I think Pacman vs. Hatton was worse. Atleast Reyes was concious afterwards where Hatton was dead to the world
