Christ on a bike, I can see why Mercer said he hit him as hard as anyone ever had. This and the James Broad knockout are frightening.

I saw this fight live on USA cable network fights about 20 years ago.. Great one punch KO and one that I have often thought about. Ecklund was no prize beater, but he was definately a big boy who had tangoed with some decent fighters. Spoon was just getting his bearings back after having his career derailed by DK a few years earlier.... The whole side of Ecklund's face looks like it froze up after that shot. a classic in my book
