Daniel Jimenez v Harald Geier Debatably the quickest title knockout of all time. Jiminez gave the previously undefeated Austrian Gaier home advantage for their WBO super bantamweight title fight in 1994. He need not have bothered. Officially it took just 17 seconds - one punch straight out the corner - for Jiminez to wrap things up.

I know it isn't the quickest, but Stevenson vs Dawson seemed to be over very fast. Probably a little longer than I actually remember though.

[Boxing Prospect]

Not the quickest but Wonjongkam vs Naito I didn't last long, amazing they had 3 rematches after that going 1-1-1 in their subsequent bouts together

[littlepug]

Hamed had a really quick one can't remember the guys name

[IRLangmaid25]

Quickest knockout I know off was Ovil McKenzie in a Commonwealth title fight at Light Heavyweight.15 seconds.

[Boxing Prospect]

For quickest non title, Jimmy Thunder and Phil Williams must have contenders for quickest televised KO's

[sucracristo]

i need to go look them up but i can think of lots of quick ko's in the 90's
at 154. terry norris and julian jackson both racked up quick ko's and both
of them were ko'd very early in title fights, also.

Said Lawal.

How long did Nicky Cook last with Ricky Burns? 90 seconds, I don't think he landed a punch.

[GalenBadBoyBrown]

Damon Reed lost to Herbie Hide for the WBO heavyweight title in 52 seconds that has to be up there and I ain't talking trash on Damon he is a buddy of mine I just remember him telling that

[TheWigwam]

Randall Bailey knocked out a South American guy (Gonzalez?) for a title way back when in about 30 seconds

G Man did Bell in 20 seconds while Hopkins beat Frank in 24 seconds. Not sure if that was over any weight or if it was a Middleweight title fight record.

[littlepug]

didn't eamon loughran lose his title in less than a minute ?

[palooka]

didn't eamon loughran lose his title in less than a minute ?

Yeah, 51 seconds with 2 X 8 counts thrown in :( a very good fighter as well Loughran).

[littlepug]

come to think of it duke McKenzie also got iced in the first defending one of his world titles.

Yes, this is officially the fastest ever for a title fight.

I watched that fight and to be fair I had Gaier leading at the time of the stoppage :-)
