Official time: 2.9 seconds. Not just the fastest knockout in BKFC history — the fastest documented finish in combat sports history, period, beating the previous BKFC record of 3 seconds set by Uly Diaz back in 2020.

Tua possessed frightening knockout power, but Lewis never allowed him to get close enough to use it. Using his height, reach and brilliant jab, Lennox controlled virtually every minute of the contest, throwing 674 punches to Tua's 413 and outlanding him by an incredible 300 to 110.
After 12 rounds, Lewis cruised to a wide unanimous decision. Against one of the most dangerous punchers of his generation, Lennox made it look almost routine.
A masterclass in controlling distance from one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

Hypothetical matchup: Manny Pacquiao vs. Edwin Valero, both at their best.

We never got to see this fight, but it’s one of those matchups that makes me wonder what could have happened.

Pacquiao had the speed, angles, footwork, combinations, and experience against elite opposition.

Valero was an absolute pressure machine — undefeated, incredibly aggressive, powerful, and seemingly always looking for the finish.

If they actually fought at their peak, who do you think wins and why?

Would Pacquiao’s speed and movement be too much for Valero?

Or would Valero’s pressure and power eventually catch him?

And most importantly: what do you think the fight looks like? Decision, late stoppage, or early KO?

Drop your prediction and explain your reasoning. I’m genuinely curious to see which side Reddit takes. 🥊🔻

Holyfield controlled the action, but after the fifth round, Czyz remained on his stool complaining that he couldn't see properly and claiming that a foreign substance from Holyfield's gloves had gotten into his eyes. Ringside doctor Rufus Sadler examined Czyz and confirmed that he was experiencing a vision problem. Referee Ron Lipton, however, found no evidence of anything illegal. In an extraordinary moment, Lipton even rubbed Holyfield's gloves against his own face while investigating the allegation. Czyz couldn't continue. Holyfield TKO5 Czyz. Just six months later, Holyfield would enter the ring as a huge underdog against Mike Tyson and produce one of the greatest upsets in heavyweight history.

These fights remain some of the strangest in heavyweight history because Andrew Golota was winning the boxing battle... but couldn't stop himself from losing the fight. Golota's jab, combinations and body punching caused Riddick Bowe enormous problems. For long stretches, he looked like the better fighter. Then came the low blows. In their first meeting in July 1996, Golota was ahead on all three scorecards when repeated punches below the belt resulted in his disqualification in the seventh round. Five months later they did it again. Golota once again hurt Bowe, dropped him and appeared to be taking control. And once again, repeated low blows resulted in another disqualification this time in the ninth round. Bowe showed extraordinary toughness to keep fighting through the punishment, while Golota demonstrated both the talent that could have made him heavyweight champion and the lack of discipline that repeatedly undermined his career. There really was nothing quite like Bowe vs. Golota.
