** 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)

Oscar De La Hoya vs. Narciso Valenzuela
ODLH hits the canvas for the 1st time in his career.
So there you are kid, down on the canvas ass 1st your life stops right there and then. You look around and you can see the people but you can't hear anything. What are you gonna do? You gonna stay down or you gonna get up?

Jimrex Jaca vs. Geronimo Hernandez
They fought their asses off and both wanted to be announced as the winner. The threw all the punches they could just when one was taking over the other would respond.

Leading up the fight Bobby said Urbano wouldn't last with him and he'd have Urbano kissing the canvas... Say it isn't so.
