What amazing discipline from Benn. Threw the knockout right, then pulled the follow-up left when he realised it wasn't required.
it as almost eubank like
came here to say this.
Tyson did the opposite against Frazier. Went for the kill. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I was just about to take that myself when I saw your comment! We could totally have shattered that jaw with the left!
Agreed... Seen that from Benn several times.
Big respect to benn for not throwing the 2nd punch when he seen him opponent out
7:35 Nigel Benn is a gentleman. He withdraws his second shot immediately after hitting Chantler the first heavy punch.
Ian was a light middleweight and nowhere near Benn's class. What his manager was thinking accepting the fight I do not know. He didn't even have a puncher's chance
As the rules of his sport stipulates he must.
You better watch his fight against Barkley.
The beating that Fraizer got from Tyson was absolutely brutal!
legendary fight 💪👍 Спасибо за бой 💪
Tyson is incredible!
💪 awesome, thumping good video thanks 💖😁
I remember watching the James Thunder fight on Tuesday Night Fights. My father and I were both stunned when that went down.
I remember Tuesday night fights I turned my head for a second to grab my beer and had to watch the replay 😂
Mike tyson was lethal with the uppercut
This is a good list. Although I would highly recommend Tua's victory over John Ruiz.
but everyone has seen it i dont want 30 copies of the same video
@@TheBigRedOutlaw But no one's seen Bentt clobbering Morrisson? Or Tyson wrecking Marvis Frazier?
@@halleck3 F A I R P O I N T. but i thought the same about those fights bein on here too in my defense
They said 1st rd KO's, not 1st rd decapitations
@@halleck3 Tyson vs Frazier KO is all over KZhead. Tf you on about?
I agree with everybody Nigel Benn is a class act but also it takes a lot of mastery and control to pull that second punch. Very difficult in the heat of the moment. Props all around !
Stopping his second punch at 7:40 means this man is an honorable boxer. To many boxers really just want to hurt someone.
The moment you see your aponent going down, back off. That's true sportsmanship right there.
@@cruznfl340 ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. 😊🤗😊
@@cruznfl340 that is one thing u barely saw on tyson. he knocked 'em out and while they were going down he landed his most devastating strikes.
@@Z0RDR4CK If Tyson wasn't so fucking good, he would be one of the more hated boxers.
Thunder; one punch fight!
Keep it up 😉👍😆👊🤛
Benn knew after one punch it was enough. Takes a lot of class to back off like that.
Iron Mike took twenty years off Marvis' life with those bombs... Life altering damage right there. On another note, I watched that Jimmy Thunder KO when it happened as a high school kid. Blew me away, although nowhere nearly as badly as the poor flattop fella.
You're right about that. No question he walked away from that fight with serious brain damage. The third uppercut made me sick.
@@bingbongbang8895 Agreed... I'm admittedly getting soft as I age, or maybe it's the value and realization of the fragility of life, but man oh MAN do some of these seriously make me sad although they've long since happened.
7:40 respect to Benn for holding back with the 2nd punch. Watched him in his prime against Eubank etc. Loved that era. Boxing was on ITV for free! 😂. Just read the same comments. Should’ve looked before I typed. Thought I’d seen something no one else did! 😂
Joshua holding behind the head, and punching with the other hand ridiculous!!!
Wow Bobick was devastated & terrorised by Norton. He literally looked like he was crying in there. The wind from those Norton swings would've done him in let alone the haymakers he took square on the chin.
Hell it was amazing he took all those flush punches
Lmao. The Commentators in the Tyson Mcneely fight are ruthless. Mcneelys mgrs are saving his life but the commentators are like no thats not right.😂😂😢
Don't forget Nunn's filthy left that KO'd Kalambay in the first 😵💫🥊
🔥
Peter McNeely is a legend. KZhead will remember him forever.
Lionel Blair looked happy to see Tommy Morrison get floored.
I didn't realize that Tank had one punch KO power in both hands.
Don't know why but that Benn vs Morrison upset is so satisfying lol
Norton is a clinical genius. He must've learned how Bobick defend and shot those overhead to mess with it. Brilliant
Ken Norton was NOT a Great Boxer! Duane Bobick was a China Chinned Glass Jawed BUM!!! Ken Norton got Knocked Out by George Foreman in 2 Rounds, Knocked Out by Earnie Shavers in 1 Round and Gerry Cooney in 1 Round! Ken Norton Froze Up Against Known Hard Punchers! Ken Norton was Average at Best!!!
@@samyoung9365 aren't those overhead shots illegal anyways? never saw them in professional boxing like that.
@@Z0RDR4CK No unless you hit a person behind their head!
Tommy got gunned down!!!!
The tyson fight was ruled a no contest
Honorable mention: Ingemar Johansson vs Eddie Machen 14th september 1958 at Ullevi in Gothenburg, Sweden.
That was a disgraceful performance by the referee who should have stopped the bout with Machen helpless on the ropes.
Anyone out there remember Danny little red Lopez? I've been around several decades and was glued to the fight game. Fabulous boxer and man
The Nigel Benn fight was in Wisbech. But it's not pronounced Wiz-beck, it's Wiz-beach.
I've got brain damage just watching this.
Good vid
thx
@@mrb1051 haha
Jesus, Ken Norton would have been champion in a lot of other eras. That knockout is scary.
Very nice compilation. Wish the narration came in subtitles instead of this voice though.
A very good list but you have to add Juan Meza vs Jaime Garcia. Unlike any of these, it was a three minute Championship war! Also, while most of these were clean, I don't like the stoppage of Mares against Gonzalez. It was a championship fight at the END of the round. Give a Champion a chance to get up at least. It may have changed nothing but he has the right to at least have another chance.
If you listen to McNeely talk today he sounds like the Cookie Monster
Honourable mention for the strength of Bobicks chin, literally took 9 or 10 haymakers for it to finally register, tough sumbitch !
If I remember correctly, didn't one of Norton's punches hit Bobick in the throat? It was unintentional, but it had a dramatic effect........
Also in the back! Kidney punch! Not on purpose.
Only one good thing to say about McNeely...on very short notice he agreed to fill in with Mike Tyson in his prime. That takes big brass ones.
Mike the king of 1st round knock out
Joe Frazier: “I got plans for you son, and they’re not good”
Best First Round Knockouts in Boxing
A couple of these knockouts look like people were taking dives.
That dude Davis is so fast you don't really see what actually happened, until they play in slow motion you can watch it hundreds of times and you won't ever see the actual punch in real time
ɧ
Imagine paying top dollar to watch a fight that lasts 5 seconds!
You spelled Johnny wrong for Johnny Gonzales
David Tua vs John Ruiz
лайк.
That was the absolute worst example of a Mike Tyson first round knockout. There were at least six other really good ones you could have picked from that were spectacular.
Kirkland definitely lost his punch resistance
Al segubdo le pegaron en el caracol de la oreja. ´Ese golpe allí es muy efectivo, eso deja zumbando el oido y afecta mucho el equilibrio. o sea el contendor queda fuera de combate. Un golpe que duele bastante es el golpe al riñón, es facil darlo cuando se está en el clink
Why is there no movie of Inoue in this subscribe?
27th...
Don King looks like he smells like Hennessy, Joop and foot powder
Losing a fight was normal but falling for just a few seconds was embarrassing.
Peter McNeely had 30 knock outs and 1 loss. He looked silly against Tyson. Who was he knocking out?
Marvis Frazier had no business getting in the ring in the first place and Bobbick is where you get the bobble head toy from
David Tua V John Ruiz
The Abner Mares K.o is ALWAYS satisfying to watch
Whats wrong with Abner Mares?
He’s a deliberate, ball punching cheater. That’s what’s wrong
@@ubeman1690 watch his fight against joseph agbeko
Amazing Frazier survived that brutal beating 😵💫
0:33 "...in the final minutes of the first round." Huh? Just how many minutes ARE there in the first round?
Wtf was Joe thinking. Leo
Про Доусона я до сих пор в шоке!😲 Как мог такой серьезный боксер так глупо подставиться?
I miss the Davis/Orozco knockout every time I try to watch it b/c as soon as I see Orozco's umm......hair (?) I start laughing so hard I can't see anymore! 😶?! 😐? 🤨? 🤔? 😏 🙂! 😃!! 😄!!!😆!!!! 😂!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣!!!!! x 10
ken norton hit like a train. arguably the hardest hitter in boxing.
Earnie, George Foreman, Ron Lyle & Joe Frazier all from the same era had more whack than Ken
Are you a Total Casual? Ken Norton was NOT a Hard Skillful Puncher! Ken Norton got Knocked Out 3 Times! Once by George Foreman in the 2nd Round, Once by Earnie Shavers in the 1st Round, and Once in the 1st Round by Gerry Cooney! Ken Norton was NOT a Great Boxer! Duane Bobbick was a Glass Jawed Bum who had Awful Defense and Never had Real Boxing Skills!!!
@@samyoung9365 yeah then how did bubick beat mike weaver and scott leduex? you are full of crap , norton lost some fights and was more a counter puncher but that doesnt make bubick a nobody, you sound like the total casual here.
@@simonjames1604 His name was Duane Bobick and yes Everytime he was set to fight someone dangerous he got KNOCKED OUT!!! You are a Complete Casual! Stick to playing with dolls!
@@samyoung9365 again you know nothing he knocked out mike weaver and scott ledeux both of whom were "dangerous" you clearly dont know the sporrt so zip it.
石田がいる
Inoue vs Payano
Devis vs jaime munguia
Lewis - Golota seems to be missing…
I never get tired of seeing that!
4 or 5 videos in and nearly 4 minutes and the narrator says “FIRST ON OUR LIST”.
1:07 Mr bartender Even if u drink rum.... u wouldn't want those shots...
I notice each quick knock out is with a punch to the side of the face behind the ear
Wheres Lewis destruction of Golota? Also Roy Jones vs Montiel rematch?
"199095"....What???!!!!!!
Christ that voice!
Mike tyson the little cowardly cheat still boxing whilst knowing his opponent was knocked out.
First on your list was not Mike Tyson vs McNeeley LOL
dont the refs know its illegal to hold the head down and uppercut your opponent , they never say anything ,thats how LEWIS knocked out michael grant
It's how Camacho ko'd Leonard!
Lewis jabbed at Grant only for him to duck under the shot. Lewis just kept his hand in place to get the uppercut off and keep himself balanced. Had Lewis grabbed at Grant and forced him down there, you'd have a point. But that didn't happen.
@@seablock he held his head down with one hand and uppercut him
@@MAGIKMARTIAN9526 He didn't hold his head down though. Grant dipped down and stayed there as he thought he was safe from getting hit. Just because Lewis' hand stayed after missing the jab, it doesn't mean he held him down. Grant got down there of his own movements. You think Lewis' left hand is more powerful than grant's legs to push himself back up? Hell no.
Morrison could have been massive!
He could have. His problem was his defense.
He suffered some brutal ko’s
Not sure if the narrator actually follows boxing, some of the comments make it seem suspect. One good example is when introducing the Wilder fight, he described Wilder as a big puncher that knocked out almost all of his opponents. The problem with that statement was Wilder's record was shown as 28-0 with 28 knockouts, where does almost come in?
Considering the time this compilation was made, almost for Wilder makes perfect sense.
His record at the time of the match isn't relevant, the video was talking about him in general. He'd lost and drawn all his fights with Fury by the time the video was made. Several fighters also retired rather than being knocked out.
Boxing is definitely a more civilized form of fighting. As brutal as these KO's are the winner often holds their punches after delivering that fight ending blow. Even the unanswered punches and beat downs like the Morrison fight have a compassion not seen in MMA where it is legal and right to kick a man when he's down. Don't get me wrong. I am a MMA fan. but just saying.
Less uncivilized is probably more appropriate. MMA is repulsive.
The Lord was with the boxer that Benn fought cuz I'm just imagining if that second one would have connected instant death
Why was Bobick allowed to wear a helmet???
Is that how Abner's eyes got knocked crooked?
Tomy Madison Brother Frezeer
bobick can take a punch tho lol
So Macneely started aggressively and 10 seconds into the fight, he was on the canvas?
Really like your channel, I already subscribe to a half dozen channels so I think eventually I may subscribe to you. In any case I'll watch as many as I'm recommended
😘🔥😍🥰❤♥♥
Donaire vs montiel
It ended in Round 2.
Joshua did most of the damage by holding behind the head, before the punches that finished his opponent. He's a cheat, and a slow one at that.
No tua v ruiz ?wtf
AJ lost something from his stature and power here
sim in ole. not semi no lee. LMFAO
Orozco needed to concentrate more on his boxing skills instead of pinning party faves in his hair. What a damned distraction to both parties....
Deontay Wilder has absolutely no boxing skills whatsoever
And it eventually cast him.
And at one point, Deontay was saying he could handle Iron Mike. lmfao
@@Veganerd_ HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Mike would knock his ass out if they fought tomorrow lol, in his prime Mike wouldn’t even have stumbled on wilder he would have flattened him!
And the poor guy showed Deontay Wilder fight in this video look like they found him behind the gym hanging out smoking a cigarette
@@Veganerd_ Deontay can REALLY punch but is clueless on the inside. I don't think he lands the bomb soon enough in that one. He could get Mike out of there..... but I don't think so.
Most of these are elite vs ham n eggers..😂
i pugni si danno senza pieta' e spirito di compassione. Altrimenti,cambino mestiere
