Best of Knockouts of the Year (KOTY)

[Spicoli]

So apparently Ring Magazine picks a Knockout of the Year since 1989. Was looking at the list and saw some truly ferocious knockouts.

But was browsing social media the other day, and came across of this gem.




A knockout of Mike Quarry by Bob Foster back in 1972.

Man! That was a vicious knockout. Foster was well known for his killer left hook... and he practically took Quarry's head off with that one punch. Quarry went down on his back, totally out.

What other knockouts have been memorable to you, and for what reason(s)?

Foster at his rangy explosive best there. Rember seeing that for the first time and thinking Quarry had checked out for good . Understand later that loss and brutal fashion hung on Mike for basically the rest of his career and some dealing with family. Foster was right on top of an absolute tear as champ but that heavy weight bug was always there.

Another one of his best of best. When Dick Tiger met the claymore mine that was the left hook!
