2011 Knockout of the year

[FinitoElDinamita]

I think this gets a mention

Somebody knocking out a nobody bum dont count for anything.

[El Kabong]

I know the opponent wasn't great, but I think the manner in which it was done gets a mention...I mean Gary did blast him out with a pretty clean shot. Is it the equivalent of Donaire & Montiel as far as talent? No, not close...but the knockout itself was pretty damn good IMO

It's not KO of the year because the combatants were female but geez was brutal:
Holly Holm was out hanging on the ropes and the Ref let it go on?!? Really, really bad by the Ref letting it go that long

The ref also missed a knockdown where Holm was visually hurt and without a doubt was dropped....he called it a slip and let her keep going

Wow, Rant, I hadn't seen this, Holly got destroyed, i'm really surprised.

"here let me deliberately try to injure you. aww...i'm sorry bro. now lets make out."

mayweather:
"naw, i'm just gonna knock you the fuck out"

Here's a few more honorable mentions:

[Beanflicker]

Bute/Mendy deserves a mention too. Donaire/Montiel was great but I think that one is tainted by the fact that Montiel beat the count!

It's known as fencing, or the Fencing Response. A clear indicator of an immediate bad concussion (obv) and fairly common in sport. Often after hard KO's we see these guys and think, wtf...still trying to throw punches? but really it's this...
