Kenny Vice's knockout of Jim McDonnell was the most brutal I've ever seen. Jimmy walked onto a left hook and lost consciousness the moment it landed. On the canvas his leg went into a violent spasm and a pool of blood formed around his head, It was like something out of "Reservoir Dogs". It was at the Albert Hall in 1990 in a double header with Eubank against Dos Santos.

Fellow Westmidlandites may remember the cold sensation that ran through their bodies when Dean Hickman knocked out Tom Hogan at Dudley Town Hall. I did genuinely think he was dead for a second.

good call, it was a nasty one. always a bad sign when a guy's head travels towards the canvas seemingly at the same speed as the fist that hit it :o

Micky Vann didn't do him any favours calling the first knockdown a slip there. Looked like a temple shot to me he could of done with the count to get his head together enough to think about running or tying up.

Ooof..just as harsh as I remembered it.

Decent left hook doing all the damage there. In the 1st the Noggie commentator says something like "perfect timing with the left hook" and it sounds like he's speaking English, which he isn't. Kinda odd. He was pretty open to the left hook himself, he got stretched at least twice with it later in his career.

Hughes/Jacobs is a good call, that last punch just leaves him in a heap, face first on the canvas.

Hughes-Jacobs= :bow: Great shout.

Ole Klemetsen. Man, he was my favourite far-Right leaning hair-in-bunches Norwegian light-heavyweight, when I was growing up.

Jimmy Flint "The Wapping Assassin" was one of the most murderous punchers seen in a British ring in a long while. His fight with Welsh man Steve Sammy Simms was an absolute classic - some of the punches these two bounce off each other are unreal.

I'ts a 4 round war, but if you want to see the brutal finish go to around 12 mins in, Flint in the blue trunks....

John Thaxton & Paul Ryan was one where you thought...ouch. Huge upset at the time although there had been signs in a couple of his previous fight of a less than steel chin.

Yep, amazing to think really that this fight wasn't for Ryan's British title. When you think that the BBBoC sanctioned Leon Williams and the Commonwealth Council accept McKenzie vs Evans for a vacant title.
