25 Uppercuts That SHOCKED The Boxing World

[Music] the hail mary of all offensive punches it's a momentary guard drop requiring timing reflexes and self-belief and speed and accuracy when it misses it looks wild drawing cheers from the crowd but for many when it does land it's the most bodacious and deadly punch in boxing as legendary trainer emmanuel steward said it's the punches you don't see that hurt you the most and so here we look at 25 of the most perfectly timed uppercuts the sport has ever seen welcome to a motiv media presentation after a shake-up of the lower weight classes it would be criminal to put anything other than this jervante davis's inch perfect bow load uppercut as the first on our list quite a few months prior we saw an equally well timed shot this time in the heavyweight division as alexander povetkin slipped a jab to land a one-hitter quitter on dillian white nothing away from alex and that is one of the biggest shocks you will ever see i expect to come right out of the opening bell jump on ferguson from that bell and i really will be shocked if mike's power doesn't get ferguson out of there quickly it's impossible to pick just one of mike's best uppercuts but this one against jesse ferguson combined with the commons post fight make for some of tyson's most harrowing [Applause] under fire and looking to get out of jail against abraham corey and gabe nor loaded up a right hand in the 11th only to be met with a devastating short left uppercut [Applause] he can throw combinations and counter punch he's developed into a multi-dimensional threat the only thing he's missing knockout power in their first meeting marquez hurt juan diaz in the ninth from here displaying his full offensive arsenal he used smart bodywork to tee up an incredible right uppercut finish and if ever you wanted an example of how to finish by going to the body first and setting it up upstairs that was it textbook stuff lennox lewis makes his first appearance in the british isles since losing his world heavyweight championship last september against oliver remember the human beings two arms two legs so he's always got a chance over in dublin back in 95 linux lewis proved he could do it all landing three thudding right uppercuts to terminate justin fortune's first shot at the big time and resistance and there's a lot of it a fortune is caught here in terrible trouble and it's stopped oh it stopped three right overcoat all rocked ahead of fortune but i think the referee was did the right thing calling it off there they were very hurtful punches talking a lot of crap about you saying things that you know you're not going to mean after you knock him out i'll let my hand do the talking this is prize fighting at its best charlo made the judges redundant putting away julian williams in the fifth with a nasty counter-right hand oh my goodness he is working on a nine win streak and nine knockout streak after his lone loss in his career back in march of 94. don't blink or you'll miss it 25 years ago jeremy williams dusted arthur weathers in spectacular fashion with one of the quickest heavyweight knockouts ever once he makes it to the top and gets a shot and it may be imagined seconds into the fight you have seen one of the quickest knockouts in history ahmed he said there's no way on earth he can lose this fight he's going to shut some mouths those who want her what if he gets hit he said you can't hit what you can't see the prince's go-to offensive weapon was the corkscrew lead uppercut though we didn't see many quite as sweet as the one that secured featherweight unification crunching tom johnson in the 80s surely there it is he bent a drove he used great leverage that is a true power punch uppercut and unfortunately [Music] [Music] for his vicious hooks but his uppercuts weren't too shabby either here against manuel vargas he danced around his opponent before pouncing straight through the guard in the third [Applause] dynamic explosive end of this fight andre berto's loss to floyd overshadowed some of his best work the florida fighter was an uppercut connoisseur and his sledgehammer right hand against victor ortiz serves as the perfect reminder sometimes it takes a big shot to wake you up do you want to continue he did not get an answer with the kind of fearsome one punch power that can get you out of jail even in the later rounds randall bailey put away mike jones with another inch perfect counter uppercut big trouble knockout victory for bailey that was a traumatic one punch destruction i think it's the first uppercut bailey through in the fight known primarily for his warrior spirit in his heyday dennis lebedev was one of the cruiserweight's elite and re-watching this shutout of salgado santander in 2012 tells you exactly why no foreign gotta keep going i gotta know that i am the best and if i cannot go there and prove to myself that i'm the best then i'm not worthy of being here five years younger than michael doakes a lot less experience right now let's look at the number three contender in the wba heavyweight division razor running back in 1990 madison square garden welcomed razor ruddock to the big stage and onlookers weren't disappointed as the 26 year old capitalized on doke's lack of head movement in the fourth part what an impressive performance by razor running this is the best young heavyweight prospect i've seen in years sam i expect catch them up you know it's interesting though guys was another man renowned for his supreme body work and uppercuts and one of his most memorable knockouts after the defiant hands-on hips gesture came against edison miranda combination says that's all you got there's he didn't trash talk leading up to the fight but he goes oh miranda did not see that coming didn't expect it i guess he had some more [Applause] tonight in the same way that some students don't revise and still get straight a's deante wilder's natural gift got him out of trouble against ortiz in their first fight with a career epitomizing right hand nearly separated the head from the shoulders of luis ortiz seems like there ain't no rush to fight me because i am the most dangerous man in the world i am the most baddest man on the planet let me tell you that first level griffin and so does the second one enraged by the disqualification in their first meeting roy jones embarked on one of boxing's most ruthless revenge missions in the rematch roy caught griffin with a leaping left so hard it dropped him three times second knockdown of the round that's that jones gets his vindication via a first round knockout and it was a left uppercut thank you to obey these rules and i will be here to enforce them in the event of a knockdown you must take an acount the three knocked down rulers and waves break when i tell you to break back in the golden era george foreman was a tailor-made seek destroy fighter and one of his biggest most devastating displays saw him knock frasier down six times finishing with this vicious right uppercut fraser doesn't know where he [Applause] spine is anticipation on the groundest of stages surely the most significant ever staged in britain it wasn't the finishing blow somehow but joshua met klitschko on his career defining night he landed one of the sweetest right uppercuts the heavyweight division has ever seen my endurance was there everything was set up the only thing is i haven't seen that uppercut so i was saying [Applause] and the unbelievable bravery too from klitschko who's so so wanted to win this zab judah's natural flair and ability to throw uppercuts followed him right through the amateur ranks beautiful combination and amongst many he stunned one of the sport's toughest chins in the very first round we're careful with that right now in particular believes that he hurt and he's gonna go after him right away right here you see zabs you are shooting a beautiful counter left uppercut as coda was coming in right inside perfectly timed and executed not many fighters can match zab for speed but this lightning right hand from rafael marquez back in 2004 certainly comes close complicated more of a chess match and there goes an upper with the right over and down goes and he bent the luis we said each of these two men are waiting for the other one to make a mistake the opening was there racist there's a very short shot man you don't see that we've seen it time and time again but that swift right uppercut catching tyson on the way in followed by three straight punches on the way down made the biggest upset in boxing history possible dustin's landing these all day forgets the dungeons [Applause] five years ago nobody realized quite how sharp or powerful zolanite really was that was until this incredible left uppercut put the first dent into paul butler's unbeaten record that's world class that's a world-class place from a world class fighter that's unnecessary man get focused dude this easy work if you stay focused do what we did for eight weeks and count and let's get your work off ten years ago and still undefeated alexander was certainly not known for his one punch stopping power where he did excel though was accuracy as shown with this beautifully timed shot right hook to the body by urango ricardo lopez was a mexican star that never lost a professional or amateur fight it was incredible to watch as one of the rare few fighters that would use a left uppercut as his lead punch it's almost like a blind shot because with your own jab out you won't see that punch he flips it and all of a sudden you're getting hit full force
