A KO So Dangerous, Boxing Fans are Calling it ‘The Best Knockout’ They’ve Seen Live in Last Two Years

Boxing is a sport filled with brutal knockouts that can send shivers down the spine of anyone witnessing it. Although these knockouts are a common part of the sport, they do give a layman an idea about the frightening reality of combat sports. However, there are some knockouts that stand out from the rest and showcase the extent of how brutal boxing can really be.

One such Knockout happened back in 2021 during a fight between former two-division world champion Oscar Valdez and Miguel Berchelt for the WBC super-featherweight title. The fight took place in the MGM Grand Arena back in 2021 and turned out to be one of the biggest nights in Valdez’s boxing career. In addition, the fight would also provide fans with a knockout that will be remembered for years to come.
