Boxing has provided fans with some brilliant knockouts over the years, but they don’t come any better than this.
With a weekend full of women’s boxing to come, headlined by the hugely Claressa Shields, Savannah Marshall to face off in a anticipated fight, UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal posted Ann Wolfe’s brutal 2004 first round knockout victory over Vonda Ward.
Masvidal simply captioned the video – titled “They call her the female Mike Tyson” – ‘Jesus Christ,’ to show how blown away he was.
You can’t argue with the evidence when it is presented.
Wolfe launches a devastating overhand right with less than a minute to go in the first round. This instantly knocks her opponent out.
“Big right-hand, one punch, that is it, forget about the count, it is over,” announced the commentator.
Ward then lies down on the canvas, her eyes closed and her head rolled up.
The commentator continued as he said: “The best single punch knockout I have seen in women’s boxing and I’ve seen a lot of them.”
In her prime Wolfe was known for heavy hitting in her time. Tyson named Wolfe the person he wanted to fight when he embarked upon an exhibition tour after he retired from professional boxing.
When he was asked why, Tyson replied: “She’s such a prominent, dominant woman in the boxing field.”
The fight was not sanctioned.
