An Introduction

The knockout is by far the most visceral of sports climaxes.
Sure, a slam dunk or an eighty yard touchdown will have a whole stadium on its feet, but when a fighter inside the ring gets hit with a punch that robs him of consciousness it produces an effect on the viewer like no other.
Some hate that effect, many more love it.
All are fascinated by it.
Whether it's exciting or disturbing, or in some cases both, this website is devoted to reliving some of the most devastating blows in the long history of the sport. Some of these KO's are well known, while others have been largely forgotten.
But they are all a testament to the nearly super-human courage required to step through the ropes and do battle, knowing that the end result might very well be a hard and fast crash landing to the canvas.
