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.

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

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.

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

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.

What was the story with Raul Perez? He was given the star treatment, I remember.
