Jimenez knocked down Geier within 17 seconds making it the fastest knockout in history up to date. This match occurred on 3 September 1994 and Jimenez managed to take the World Boxing Organization super bantamweight title from Geier in just 17 seconds.

The second shortest boxing match

A 20-second match followed the 17-second boxing match. American former professional boxer Gerald McClellan won the middleweight title twice in his career. McClellan KOed Jay Bell on 6 August 1993 with just one punch in just 20 seconds. This match was and is still considered the shortest match in the middleweight world championship history.
