I'm actually somewhat a Khan supporter but that was a quality K.O.

You have to look at the opponent though.
I would go with Lindsay and Matthews, or Rhodes against Woolcombe.

Same here. Prescott picked his punches really well and threw with all the venom he could muster. Khan stood up after first knock down and his eyelids were drooping. It's crazy the ref let the fight go on, but luckily Khan's chin wouldn't let him take any more punishment. Thankfully the last punch Prescott threw, as Khan was falling, missed, as that would have been devastating.

Maybe controvesial but Holt's bolt on Torres had a devastating effect.

Haye v Macca was dramatic, Abraham v Miranda was one of the most brutal.

Thaxton's KO of his most recent opponent was very dramatic, although that guy didn't seen to get out of first gear in that bout.

There was one featured on skys knockout show on new years eve where a guy got ko'd with the first punch but was still standing and took another couple of punches before landing face down on the canvas, can't remember the fighters involved though

I was only thinking about British boxing with my previous post. In World boxing, look at Edison Miranda's KO over David Banks. Holt vs Torres is a good call, though I don't like the fact that an unintentional headbutt created the opportunity.

Years later, the award STILL goes to Alexander-Takaloo! I haven't seen a better British knockout since.

Old Bones,
WRONG !!!!
Curtis Woodhouse v Wayne Downing cos I know how much that meant to him.
Mind you, that shot of Rhodes in April at York Hall wasn't bad either ...........
