Nothing Beats a Heavyweight Knockout

Deontay Wilder definitely had the most eye-popping knockout at Barclays Center on Saturday night, but earlier in the day a familiar name reemerged at the O2 Arena in London.
After sitting on the sidelines for nearly three-and-a half years, David Haye made his triumphant return to the ring against Mark de Mori of Australia.
You couldn’t pick de Mori out of a line up if your life depended on it, but that’s besides the point.
It’s not the opponent that matters, it’s the highlight-reel knockout. Haye flattened de Mori like he was supposed to and just like that you’ve got people lining up the brash Brit to face Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and probably The Incredible Hulk.
I’m still pissed for what Haye did–or better yet didn’t do–against Wladimir Klitschko, but regardless of that wetting-the-bed performance, if he’s close to his 2012 form he could give a lot of guys trouble and give fans some more knockouts to drool over.
