Groves was an obnoxious, young boy who desperately needed teaching a lesson by his daddy, aka The Cobra!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BBC boxing commentator Mike Costello said that the punch that knocked Groves out was \u201cthe best punch you will ever see in a British boxing ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Number two in my favourite knockouts was against Jermain Taylor in the United States. It was the first defence of my WBC World Title and I was behind on all the score cards, so needed the KO to win. Guess what? Being the ruthless, determined athlete that I was, I managed to finish him off with only 14 seconds to go in the last round.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I\u2019d have to choose a fight from 2012 when I fought Lucian Bute for the IBF super-middleweight title. Bute boasted a 30-0 record, this was his 10<sup>th<\/sup> title defence and nobody gave me a chance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was in a fight against an unbeaten man that nobody thought I could win. I absolutely smashed him around the ring and knocked him out on his feet in the fifth round to become the IBF World Champion and three-times World Champion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be trying to knock you out of many of the KO Series events. Do you think you have what it takes to take me on at the tables?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a four-time world champion boxer, I am used to knocking people out!
