One of the undercard matchups featured Canadian kickboxer, Samuel Bunche, go up against New York’s own, Zongo Boureima, for the vacant ROC lightweight championship. The amateur bout certainly wasn’t anything to write home about on paper, but it delivered one of the most memorable and uncanny knockout finishes of the year.
The stoppage came with just about one minute left in the very first round. Both lightweights were exchanging heavy hands along the ropes as Bunche stepped in with a reaching left hook. The punch connected and instantly shut the lights off. Boureima went completely stiff, crashed backwards into the ropes, and bounced back off. It was a weird sequence of events to the least.
Ha ha. What a weird KO. I hope he is OK so I can not feel guilty for laughing. I’m not laughing at the guy, just the way he bounced. Never seen this before.
“Kickboxer Turns Into Whacky Inflatable Tube Man After Brutal KO” title is accurate
At least his knee is ok.
The Canadian wins!!
You just know some sleazy used car lot is gonna try to sponsor him for his next fight.
Came in ready to talk about the Wonderman fight
LOL
If you zoom in you’ll see there’s a fan blowing inward towards the ring. This accounts for the whacky tube man catapult.
I thought this was going to be Izzy knocking out Alex
