Beltway Boxing Knockout of The Year!

The 2010 Beltway Boxing Knockout of the Year was an interesting one. It was a one-punch knockout that came late in a bout. But it was one of those surprising ones that took a lot of heart for one boxer to stay in the contest long enough to uncork the one punch.

Digital's Choice for Beltway Boxing Knockout of the Year is:

Jimmy Lange KO 10 Joe Wyatt, November 6, George Mason University Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA.

The native of Great Falls, VA had reached a crossroads in this contest against the Richmond, VA-based Wyatt. Despite two earlier knockdowns, Lange still seemed to be a step behind Wyatt when it came to aggression. By the time the bout reached the 10th round, two judges had the bout even on the scorecards. Both boxers were cut along the face. Both boxers dug deep. But with about a minute to go, Lange went just a little bit deeper and found the strength to land a right hand that dropped Wyatt for the count. This was an amazing victory that may have been the best Lange has had in his career.
