I thought this would be a fun topic to start. Basically, I would like to unofficially complete Ring ****zine's list of Knockouts of the Year, which began awarding fighters from 1989 onwards.
Rack your brains trying to think of the most brutal and devastating knockouts you have seen in a fight from that specific year. Any KO pre-1989 is fine by me.
This is the Ring ****zine's list of KO's from 1989-present.
