In this second of my top 10 "top 10s," I name the most awesome knockouts I've seen and know of.
Parameters: Since From the Fifty Peso Seats covers both Boxing and UFC, it would be fair to give 5 slots each to both sports. They will all be ranked under one list though. While knockouts come in many forms, I am most awed by quick, sudden and unexpected knockouts. Here we go:
10. UFC - Matt Hamill vs Mark Munoz
In what was a memorable UFC debut, Munoz, the Filipino Wrecking Machine, underestimated fellow wrestler Hamill's stand up game and well he, as my friend put it, "got wrecked." Hamill absolutely destroyed Munoz with a well placed head kick and the fight was over. I'm still a fan of Munoz though and his recent victories over Nick Catone and Kendall Grove have me smiling.
