Knockout of the Year: Amir Mansour KO7 Fred Kassi By now Mansour’s story is familiar: A solid heavyweight prospect in the late 1990’s, Mansour lost eight years of his career after being convicted of drug possession. He resumed his career in 2010, hooked up with promoter Main Events soon after, and strung together a collection of devastating knockout wins, none more impressive than his stoppage of Kassi in November. For six rounds Mansour controlled the action, backing Kassi up with wide, punishing power shots. With under a minute to go in the seventh, Mansour delivered the finisher, a crushing right hand that caught Kassi flush and sent him crumpling to the canvas. It was a devastating punch that left Kassi motionless for several minutes and reaffirmed Mansour’s place as one of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division.
