00:00There's no better way to end a fight than with a knockout.
00:07It's so unpredictable that it can come at any time.
00:10One moment a fighter is up, and the next moment they're down on the floor wondering where they are.
00:21In this video, we've compiled some of the most thrilling first-round knockouts for you to enjoy.
00:27Don't blink or you'll miss it.
00:30In June 2024, Cuban super middleweight prospect Osli Zieglesias defended his IBO title against Evgeny Svadenko.
00:44The hard-hitting Iglesias continued his explosive run as he blasted through Svadenko in just one round.
00:51From Iglesias, finding his rhythm early on, and down!
00:55Go Svadenko, and oh my goodness!
01:01A horrifying reaction there from Evgeny Svadenko.
01:10And we're gonna wait.
01:11Australian Isaac Hardman made a comeback from his first loss to Michael Zaroffa to face compatriot Bo Hartas.
01:20The feeling they could be good friends, but not right now.
01:24Right now, things are gonna get serious.
01:25Both men appeared willing to let their hands fly freely from the outset, exchanging hard shots.
01:34There's plenty on that.
01:37Hartas was throwing his own shot, and Hardman went bang.
01:40Now he chases, and there's a big right hand that got through there as well.
01:46But in the final seconds of the opening of round one, Hardman landed first and scored a devastating knockout.
01:53In 2013, Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua was the hottest prospect in the heavyweight division.
02:20In his first professional fight, Joshua took on an unbeaten Emmanuel Leo.
02:31Joshua put on a boxing masterclass to beat the 8-0 Leo in the first round.
02:36He's destroyed a very brave opponent, and he hasn't broken a sweat, and he's looking around as if to say,
02:58Is that what the pro game is about?
03:00Is it that easy?
03:01Well, no, it isn't.
03:02Not going down the road, but that's the kind of start you want when you're taking your first step in the pro game.
03:08During his reign as a middleweight champion, Bernard Hopkins made the first defense of his IBF title against Steve Frank in January 1996.
03:23Hopkins came out with the intention of knocking Frank out, and did so in quick fashion, ending the fight in 24 seconds.
03:30And hope to fight him later in the fight.
03:33Good right hand, right out of the box, down goes Frank.
03:36Right there.
03:38First punch of the night.
03:39You know, when a fighter takes a fight in only seven days' notice, you think he might come out and take his shot early?
03:43Because conditioning will be a factor later.
03:45Here, he doesn't take a shot, he looks, he waits, hesitates, and bang, he's caught.
03:49And he is hurt, too.
03:51It's over.
03:53Well, he didn't give the right answer.
03:55It's that simple.
03:56In January 2004, unbeaten middleweight prospect Jermaine Taylor took on former world title challenger Alex Rios.
04:07Come out boxing at the belt.
04:08Weight champion of the world, Bernard Hopkins.
04:10Do you think it adds almost...
04:11Taylor barely broke a sweat, as he needed just 54 seconds to stop the fight and effectively end Rios' career.
04:18...in that kind of fight, he's going to feel funny, and there's no test tonight, like I said.
04:23No test tonight.
04:25He's going to have to get into deeper waters some other time.
04:28It is over.
04:32In September 2017, 19-year-old Ryan Garcia faced Miguel Carisosa for the vacant NABF Junior Super Featherweight title.
04:41That's good quality work from veterans and even world champions.
04:45Garcia made a bold statement by dropping Carisosa just nine seconds into the bout.
04:50Carisosa bravely got up to continue fighting, but the handwriting was on the wall.
05:04With my name, referee says, Carisosa, and just two punches, and Ryan Garcia comes away with a spectacular knockout over Miguel...
05:17The fight was over in just 30 seconds.
05:19Deontay Wilder is undoubtedly one of the hardest punchers in recent years.
05:26However, his first-round knockout over former WBO heavyweight champion Sergei Lyoktovich is absolutely terrifying.
05:34All right, round one is going to the body, and he wants to do that more tonight.
05:39Good, quick left hand shown by Wilder.
05:41There's a right hand, drives Lyoktovich into the ropes.
05:44Down he goes.
05:47And it's over.
05:48Just like that.
05:49Hello.
05:50Goodbye.
05:51Stay.
05:51Stay, Sergei.
05:52Stay down.
05:52Sergei, stay.
05:53Stay.
05:54Don't move, buddy.
05:55You're okay.
05:56You're okay.
05:56Stay right here.
05:57Stay right here.
05:58Stay right here.
05:58Stay right here.
05:59In this battle between two unbeaten super-lightweights, Ivan Baranczyk and Nikolas Givan met for the vacant WBC USA title.
06:10Good.
06:11Touch your gloves.
06:12Let it bump.
06:13The bout, scheduled for eight rounds, ended abruptly in 21 seconds after Baranczyk found a home for a monstrous hook.
06:20And he starts out very quickly.
06:22Left hand drops him.
06:24And I mean, that was a left hand.
06:27Five.
06:28Six.
06:29Seven.
06:31Well, you said three seconds the other time.
06:33This was slightly more.
06:37What a punch.
06:40I was about to talk about the shoulder roll by Givan, but obviously it didn't work.
06:47In his first comeback fight in 1995, Mike Tyson faced Peter McNeely.
06:52From Mr. Tyson's corner, let's get it on.
06:55So he's been working a great deal on it.
06:59A confident McNeely charged at Tyson from the opening bell, but got humbled immediately when he tasted Tyson's power.
07:06Down goes McNeely.
07:07Seconds into the first round.
07:14McNeely returned to his feet, but got stopped just 89 seconds into the fight.
07:18In August 2005, Peter Quillen faced Antoine Hedgmund in his second professional bout.
07:48Quillen came out firing and floored his opponent less than 30 seconds into the bout.
07:53Once the action resumed, Quillen continued with the attacks and scored a vicious knockout that made Hedgmund rethink his career choice.
08:07Nobody worked on the inside for Quillen.
08:13Oh, they are really exchanging punches now.
08:17Hedgmund in all kinds of trouble.
08:20Quillen, a right hand.
08:23On the feet.
08:24And Hedgmund, oh, puts him asleep.
08:27In January 2019, multiple division champion Amanda Serrano squared off against Eva Vorderberger for the vacant WBO super flyweight title.
08:50She's a huge, huge favorite here, and for good reason.
08:54Serrano appeared sharp as usual from the start and easily overpowered Vorderberger with a flurry of power shots.
09:01And Serrano likes to go forward and forward when we're forced to let her hands go.
09:04In just 35 seconds into the fight, Serrano stopped her opponent to become a seven-division world champion.
09:11Constant pressure.
09:11One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, six, nine, ten.
09:22It is over.
09:24Just like that, the real deal strikes again.
09:28Seven different weight classes, seven-time world champion, Amanda Serrano.
09:34In November 2014, Anthony Joshua faced veteran Michael Sprott in his 10th professional bout.
09:43Two rounds, Dorian darts, two rounds, Matt Legg, a handful of seconds.
09:48An old Matt Skelton, two rounds.
09:51Sprott was expected to give the younger fighter a tough lesson, but Joshua passed with flying colors, needing just 86 seconds to stop the veteran.
10:00Straight on him, and Sprott's in big trouble here.
10:02Joshua just teeing off.
10:05Is the referee watching the fight?
10:06And Terry O'Connor says that will do it right there.
10:08Heaven's sake.
10:10Stunning.
10:11Matt should have been a bit earlier, because Sprott was in big trouble.
10:16Goodness me.
10:17Was he watching the fight, a referee?
10:20Goodness me, he should have stepped in a lot sooner than that.
10:24I mean, that shows you the power this man has.
10:26The punch that caused the damage was partially blocked.
10:30But it's still in the color.
10:35In August 2013, Johnny Gonzalez challenged Abner Mares for the WBC featherweight title.
10:41One is worth it.
10:43Johnny Gonzalez, referee Jack Rees calls for the bell.
10:46Gonzalez, who had previously held the title, came into the bout as the underdog against the unbeaten Mares.
10:51However, with barely 30 seconds to go in the opening round, Gonzalez stunned the boxing world when he dropped Mares.
11:01Gonzalez dropped Mares with the link to the laptop!
11:03He's hurt.
11:04He's hurt bad, guys.
11:05Five, six, seven, eight.
11:11The champion got back up, but Gonzalez went for the kill and reclaimed his old belt with a first-round knockout.
11:17He's knocked out a number of fighters with it.
11:19Mares has a hold, guys.
11:20He's got a hold.
11:20Mares goes down again.
11:21He's got a hold.
11:22Three.
11:24Mama mia, Gonzalez has done it.
11:27In January 2019, Pablo Cesar Cano and former three-division world champion Jorge Linares
11:51met in a WBC super lightweight eliminator.
11:54Barely 15 seconds into the contest, the underdog Cano sent Linares crashing to the canvas.
12:12Linares got up and tried to fight with fire, but this proved to be a bad idea and he was
12:17floored again.
12:18With less than a minute to go in one round, Linares went down the third time.
12:39He gainly got back to his feet to continue fighting.
12:42However, Linares had to be saved by the referee from taking more punishment.
12:54In May 2019, Olympic bronze medalist Felik Hergovic defended his WBC international heavyweight
13:01championship against Gregory Corbin.
13:07Hergovic appeared faster and beat Corbin to the punch in every exchange.
13:12With only a minute into the fight, Hergovic caught Corbin flush on the button to win the
13:16fight.
13:34Back in 1984, Jamie Garza defended his WBC super bantamweight title against former world
13:40challenger Juan Meza.
13:46The hard-hitting champion got off to a fast start, flooring Meza less than a minute into
13:50the bout.
14:03However, Meza got back up and returned the favor at the end of round one to become the
14:07new champion.
14:37one.
14:38In September 2003, unbeaten Joe Messi took on the highly-touted amateur Davarell Williamson
14:45in a 10-round bout.
14:50Messi came out throwing accurate punches with power behind them, and it didn't take long
14:54for the shots to put Williamson down in the first round.
14:57Joe Macy's got an early opportunity.
14:58Down he goes!
14:59Ground goes nice!
15:00That's it!
15:01That's it!
15:02That is it!
15:03A one minute and 50 second knockout for Joe Macy.
15:04Lightning strikes on boxing after dark in Buffalo.
15:10And he looks good every second of the round setting it up.
15:17Yes.
15:18Got him with a few jabs, sort of moving, getting underneath the jabs and then exploding and
15:24moving in and out, exploding and moving in and out.
15:25Very smart fight.
15:26In August 2021, unbeaten Joe Cordina squared off against Joshua Hernandez.
15:33Keep your hands up, protect yourself at all times.
15:34Good luck to you both.
15:35Good luck.
15:36Come on.
15:37Come on!
15:38Come on!
15:39Come on!
15:40Come on!
15:41Come on!
15:42Come on!
15:43Come on!
15:44Come on!
15:45Come on!
15:46Come on!
15:47Come on!
15:48From the first bell, Cordina let his hands fly freely as he tagged Hernandez with multiple
16:02hard shots.
16:03It did not take long for one of the shots to put Hernandez heavily on his back, where he
16:10was counted out.
16:11Before that, oh, he's gone!
16:12Good right hand once again for his guys.
16:15Four, three, four, one, two, one, six, seven, seven, seven, eight, nine, eight, nine,
16:24three so far.
16:25It's all over.
16:26Absolutely superb from Joe Cordina.
16:29He'd been talking about his weariness and throwing that punch because of the damage to
16:33the hand.
16:34But inspiring, he said he'd finally learned to get the confidence to really let it go.
16:39And brilliant timing there dispatches Joshua Hernandez in the first round.
16:44Unbeaten, Roger Mayweather made the third defense of his WBA Junior Lightweight Championship
16:53against Rocky Lockridge in February 1984.
17:06Mayweather was the favorite to win, but Lockridge stunned him with a knockout just 91 seconds into
17:11the fight.
17:16Oh, right hand by Lockridge, and Mayweather is down!
17:21The champion Mayweather is down in this opening round!
17:26He's not getting up!
17:27He's not getting up!
17:28We've got a new champion!
17:31Oh, oh!
17:36And a stunner!
17:38Rocky Lockridge has stopped!
17:41Roger Mayweather in round one!
17:56Kendo Castaneda was coming off the back of five consecutive losses when he faced Sonny
18:01Fredrickson in May 2022.
18:03After a brief feeling out process in the opening round, the fight ended abruptly, after Castaneda
18:16caught Fredrickson with an explosive knockout punch.
18:19Yes he is!
18:20Oh!
18:21Oh!
18:22He's out!
18:23Oh!
18:24That is a wrap!

18:39He won!
18:40Now we see…
18:41In this battle of unbeaten prospects, Liam Parrow defended his WBA Global Super Lightweight Title against
18:46lightweight title against Brock Jarvis. Both fighters went toe-to-toe from the start and
18:53it became obvious that the fight would not go the distance. With less than 30 seconds
19:02to go in round one, Paro caught Jarvis with a nasty hook that ended the fight.
19:16That is a stupid victory from Liam Paro who has stopped Jarvis in the opening round of this
19:26domestic showdown. What a statement. That was huge. Hopefully Brock's all right. That was a lethal
19:35left hand from Liam Paro. Wow. That was a monstrous shot from Paro.
19:42In January 2013, Chad Dawson defended his WBC light heavyweight championship against Adonis
19:51Stevenson. Dawson came into the fight as the favorite and paid little attention to his opponent.

20:14to score an upset victory.
