Best 1st rounds of all time
Besides Hagler-Hearns. Cause if that was included most everybody would just say that and it wouldn't be much of a discussion
For some reason, I'm drawing a blank at the moment, I'm sure more will come to mind in a minute but the first one I thought of was the first round of Moorer-Cooper. Great first round, both guys almost knocked out. A lesser known one that was good was Manuel Gomez-Jeffrey Hill. Gomez was in serious trouble about the whole round and at the end of the round KO'd Hill with one right hand
Any ideas

i think calzaghe vs lacy round 1 was ok i know most ppl will think its an odd choice but iv picked it simply becus loads of ppl were saying tht lacy would spark calzaghe out early and when the first round strted and joe was controlling it easily from the strt i rekon most ppl like me were thinking wtf i didnt expect this and it just showed wt joe could do
Re: Best 1st rounds of all time
Emmanuel Lucero-Frankie Archuletta was another good lesser known one

Pac- JMM was good. More because of the outcome

I still haven't seen a better one than Castillo vs. Corrales round 10

I mean just first rounds of a fight though, if it got into best round overall I'd change my picks

Re: Best 1st rounds of all time
Not a competitive 1st round but if you're going for pure excitement, Tyson-Spinks was a big 1 rounder.
Same with Liston-Patterson 1 & 2.
Or what about Patterson-Ingemar Johanssen 3?
Coming off their FOTY 2nd fight, They start round one of their third bout with three knockdowns in the first round.

Prince naseem vs kevin kelley, not so much for boxing greatness, more for the butterflies it put in my stomach!
Re: Best 1st rounds of all time
Derick Jefferson, Maurice Harris.. Not many people will have seen it, it was an old replay I think wednesday night fights or something.. Great round,, Jefferson was beating him up, almost had him out in the opening minute, dropped him.. Harris gets up at 8 or 9 barely.. Then Jefferson goes to finish him off and walks into a perfect left hook.. He wasn't hurt as badly but he got dropped really hard out of nowhere and everyone was screaming.. That was a FOTY candidate, the first and last rounds were almost identicle with Jefferson beating him up only to almost get KTFO out of nowhere..

In my top 5 favorite KO/TKOs of all time.
