Some spectacular knockouts to start the Million Dollar Tournament, and one that was pretty damn awesome in a Non Tourney Fight as well.

Rafael Marquez putting Jhonny Gonzalez out cold in the 5th after tasting the canvas himself in the 2nd round was definitely highlight reel stuff.

Fighting Harada's 9th round TKO 9 and the revenge factor for him definitely qualifies that as one of the top KO candidates this week

Manny Pacquiao ended things early with a knockout shot from hell to put out Cristian Mijares in the 3rd, and garner 3 points in the Tournament.

Oscar Larios stopped Manuel Ortiz in an exciting battle (as is the norm with Larios) and got one of his biggest wins of the season.

Sixto Escobar scored a highly dramatic 11th round knockout of Celestino Caballero in this battle of tough Former Champions.

and finally Marco Antonio Barrera after being on pretty much dead even terms with David Kui Kong Young ended matters in the 9th round with a sustained assault to score a 9th round stoppage at a crucial moment in the fight.

Great Nominees, Great Week
