1:46 that knockout was a work of art.

[@catgrey1769]

The first ko is not legal

[@slide4180]

11:42 that ref is still thinking in 2024 about whether he should stop it

[@rssphllps]

It was an early stoppage. The other guy was waiting for him to tire his arms out and then he was going to mount his comeback.

[@charlesmaddox8551]

When the ref finally gets over there, he looks like he just starts checking his pulse

[@neadjram]

That referral should have been jailed for assisting a manslaughter

[@willwalsh3436]

Telling fighters who bravely get up that they have to take a TKO is often an unpopular decision, but the worst cerebral damage is so often done after a boxer is too dazed to avoid and/or reduce the impact of a blow. If we love boxing we have to support ref's decisions to err on the side of caution to protect fighters.

[@MrTee-hw7mp]

That Canelo KO is such a masterpiece. Make it look like your going to the body and then quickly switch it up and go for the chin.

[@geedee1264]

Yeah it's called a "feint" Old moves time tested

[@Trapper50cal]

When you have a vicious body shot like CA, your opponent will drop those elbows to cover awfully quick. Then it's easy to connect up top.

[@jacoballen6269]

Yeah because his body shots are an actual threat and makes you drop your hands to protect the liver opening up the head.

[@jacoballen6269]

@@gillove189 I hope he does fight Bud. Bud will put them hands on him.

[@nassiglutt6587]

​@@gillove189dude is a coward since fighting equally coward Floyd. They don't fight dudes who they think beats them and wait until those dudes gets brutally destroyed

[@bengolfs1]

I'm surprised Honeycutt's head remained attached to his shoulders after that punch by David Tua. You could probably have a whole video dedicated to Tua KO highlights. He was a beast.

[@dissyduster]

I like Dave MONSTER

[@thisiszaphod]

20:51 - Owen left the ring on a stretcher and never regained consciousness. He fell into a coma and died seven weeks later in a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 24. The legend of Merthyr - revered in the Valleys to this day.

[@CYMotorsport]

17:55 as a big fan of sweet pea, this was a nightmare night. Context being it was a tune up for the Oscar super fight. In hindsight, Hurtado was a horrific choice for this. The typical Cuban specialist who beat Casamayor in amateurs after his 1992 gold medal at Cuban nats, PW was not focused on this and nearly paid the price as he was beaten pilar to post with another extra point removed for rabbit punching. Luckily he pulled it out of the fire and gah leee did he. The ref nearly caught a manslaughter case for christ sake with that stoppage.

[@TRAVELER197]

I just knew he had lost, and with about 7 left hands, he won! Yeah, PW manager did a horrible job picking this one!

[@mapplehitoritheartist9114]

great video.. but the opening KO was Hilarious! XD..

[@NelsonMontana1234]

18:01 what the hell was the ref waiting for?

[@pretorious700]

That low feint that brought Kirklands' hands down in the Canelo fight should be on an instructional video for young fighters. It was perfectly executed.

[@ountoptwo]

When Roy Jones’s hit dude, he turned into the exorcist…see his face 8:50

[@sancho8521]

These knockouts are absolutely terrifying and thrilling at the same time! Pure power and precision on display. Boxing at its scariest! 🥊🔥

[@LNLBD]

Maybe I am the only boxing fan who does not enjoy to see fighters getting brutally KOed... I prefer winning by points or at least softer KO.

[@TheFunkhouser]

11:37 was just wrong. 😮

[@Pops3r]

11:25 was a dirty ass move. He was already down and he threw a temple shot. Huge scumbag move

[@AnthonyAbbett]

I've noticed one consistent thing about these fights. Most of the Refs are horrible. It's a wonder a few of them haven't gotten a fighter killed because of their stupidity. Absolutely pathetic.

[@colderbeer]

You're so wrong.....people pay big money to see a fight, not a stoppage. If a bum can't handle a beat down, he can easily take a knee or his corner can throw in the towel.

[@tc6025]

@@colderbeer0/10 rage bait

[@bigbilly9960]

The only bad ref is 11:46

[@moyesinho]

Johnny Owen died 7 weeks after getting KOed by Lupe Pintor. Never regained consciousness again.

[@SpindashBlack]

@@bigbilly9960 jep the only one that was real bad

[@jacoballen6269]

Jones Jr hit that man so hard he bypassed the seven days and immediately saw the Ring 😂

[@Wopstar-777]

Wonderful content. Thank you

[@Samual_33]

Great video bro

[@shannonbugeja3746]

The very first one in the intro was killer it was funny AF.

[@pv3Hpv3p]

3:12 when you see your fighter stumble away from a punchless clinch, you gotta throw the towel. That kid was done

[@Vladpryde]

"Champ? Champ, can you hear me? What day is it? "Jello!"

[@cprim72]

Jefferson vs Harris. That has to be the scariest one punch of all time.

[@chrisreidy439]

10:45---damn...that looked like Griffith-Paret.Where the hell was the ref? He could have been killed.

[@gr637]

This was seriously disturbing. Where was the ref? It’s a miracle that he didn’t get killed.

[@MD-ww4bh]

5.30 mins... jeez, that looked like a dive against Whitaker!

[@divo253644]

The referee of the match between Eklund and Clarke was watching the show and forgot of doing his job.

[@joelamatriam]

I love the last one The end .....😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@alexserrano5724]

I’ve never seen the Roy Jones v Serwano. That was intense 🐲🐲 looked like a real headshot

[@thisiszaphod]

14:36 - RIP Gary, my old friend.

[@evanpenn1]

I don't think you should include the Johnny Owen fight, it's not entertainment.

[@TRAVELER197]

6:57 is why i stopped sitting in the first 5 rows! Nasty work!😅😅

[@spinaway]

RIP Gary Mason and Johnny Matchstick Owen.

[@gregmitchell4475]

Some of these refs should be in prison

[@speedmaster001]

11:52 ref is incompetent. Should have jumped in sooner to stop the fight. The only thing holding the dude up was the ring.

[@darylpaulk]

8:51 I remember thinking this man is about to die in the ring from this overhand to the temple. Honestly, it reminded me of the poster for the movie Scanners 1981. I'm not a kid😂. The face he had looked like his last ride. About the scariest face I've seen on a boxer not broken and bleeding.

[@gggallon]

"Scanners...their thoughts can kill"...classic poster.

[@milinddixit6583]

21:34 - the guy died in the ring (pretty much). Had convulsions while on the canvas. Loss of a great talent and person.

[@charlesm7589]

There's nothing 'scary" here. This carnage is EXACTLY what makes boxing popular. Bloodthirsty fans pay to watch other people get hurt. Forget all the BS about "sweet science" and skill. People come for the brutal violence. It's in our nature!

[@geedee1264]

Okay Wild man from Borneo calm down ffs

[@charlesm7589]

@@geedee1264 Calm down? Wild Man? None of that applies to me or my post. I think you're just trying to sound cool. But as usual, folks with weak arguments or nothing meaningful to say, tend to go after the messenger rather than the message.

[@dprich100]

Nice!

[@tiaratauaese6197]

To say his "body is no longer working" is wild 🫤

[@Michael-jw6et]

The fact that they didn't show Ray Mercer knocking out Tommy Morrison is puzzling. That is probably the most brutal knock-out of all time.

[@andrewforrester6258]

Why have the johnny owen fight in, the lad died ffs, show some respect.

[@jonathanmann5227]

I am with you all the way on that. Disgraceful!

[@eclecticacre2593]

I was binge watching fights today, 2 separate fights, guy gets knocked down hard, got up wobbly and ref continued. I'm like, ref stop it this guy's gonna have brain damage.

[@Willy_Milano]

22:43 Johnny Owen went into a coma from that knockout, and died some weeks after never having woken up.

[@ryunosonomakurakoen]

I was just about to point out that. Even though it was a brutal KO, I don't really think it should be shown in videos like this out of respect for Owen and his family, especially if you're not even going to pay respect to his memory by acknowledging his passing.

[@leighwilliams6812]

😢 A warrior till the end.💔

[@joelastre4864]

Way off on the date of the Danny Garcia fight. But great video nonetheless.

[@Splashbang_OW]

The most dangerous opponent in a boxing match isn't the human facing you, it's the canvas.

I thought Ray Mercer's knockout of Tommy Morrison would've been in the list.

[@donaldleroy6502]

The fight @ 11:15 looked like it was personal, also, since this was 1981 explains why the referee didn't step in much sooner. Same thing with the fight @ 17:45, far too many more powerful blows😮

@@geedee1264 I know all about that era Gd and have boxed and taught the sport myself but nobody cared terribly about the end results for boxers back then. CTE is now being detected in almost all Rugby League, Rugby Union players so I would suggest it is going to be clearly prevalent in boxers where the aim is generally to knock the opponent out. I think it will be a sport that is stopped in the future along with UFC and MMA unless they bring in some type of head shot protocol, legal action by the victims will cause this to occur.
