** The Greatest 1 round fight in boxing history **

Alright been working on this since the night of Holt-Torres II. After watching that I started thinking where does that fight rank amongst the greatest 1 round fights in history. Again this is fights that lasted 1 round ONLY. So I started looking at my notes, books, fight list and on the net and I started putting together a list. Here's what I came up with, keep in mind I only comment on fights I've seen.
I want to list comebacks, double knockdowns, both guys hitting the canvas and 1 round assaults where punches were flying everywhere....

If you have a fight that you've seen and I didn't list it then add it but post a description of the fight and how it went try to be as detailed as possible and if there's video of it the add it to your post.

















Enjoy!! 8)

Mike Weaver vs. Michael Dokes I
WBA Heavyweight title

The story on this fight is that it took place just weeks after Mancini-Kim and the ref. was prompted to be VERY careful on how he handled the fight and to be extra careful. Well he was...

Gerry Cooney vs. Ken Norton

Former champ vs. #1 Contender. Fireworks...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fb0Qidm9Fg

Other fights that I want to mention but did not find videos of.

Bob Foster vs. Frank De Paula - After having Foster down early in round 1, Frank got careless and Foster took over dropping Frank 3 times and having him allover the place. This prompted the ref. to stop the fight on the 3 knockdown rule.

Marco A. Barrera vs. Miguel Pina - After starting off slow and punch from MAB woke Pina up and released the animal in him. Pina went after MAB and they traded punches. MAB lands a double left hook and drops Pina the ref. stops the fight as Pina laid there.

Israel Vasquez vs. Oscar Larios I - Larios was at the time one of the top fighters in the Mexico city circuit but that didn't matter to Izzy as he only had 1 thing in mind, a KO. Larios starts swinging away and Izzy catches Larios with a brutal punch that left Larios laying there minutes even after the bell had rung.

Alright fellas just finished putting this together and now I moved it here.
Enjoy! :cool:

BINGO.....right here baby ;D;D Have always loved this one.

Good stuff Mick....."Have to spread" :cwm34:

Spicoli you gotta watch the rest man... ;D
Check out Manuel Gomez vs. Jeffrey Hill, Kirkland vs. Conyers were also explosive.

Hey Mick...are we talking 1 round comebacks or more so just Impressive 1 round KO's? Hearns/Shuler ... Mcgirt/Davis ...Lockridge/Mayweather come to mind .

Whatever rocks your boat Spicoli. ;)

If you think those 3 should belong then say it loud, say it proud. :D

You need to throw in Terry Norris destruction of John "The Beast" Mugabi in there

I don't like the Torres/Holt KO , that wasn't with a real shot , Torres was KO ed by a headbutt not by a shot , the referee should stopped it , to me IMO that should be a No Contest.................:cool:

Nunn - Kalambay has to be on there just because of the explosive nature of the KO, still one of the, if not the, most brutal I've ever seen.

Staple this on the list.Personally I was rolling on the floor when this one happened ;D....Morrison catches Bent early but would watch a lucrative showdown fly out of the window and Bent would get bounced,resort to biting and get permanatly Injured vs. Hide.Rough.

You need to get your eye's check. It was a right that laid him out
