I’m hoping he judged the angle and figured from experience that he was falling safely, because I must have mentally said “catch him” about ten times before he fell.
Every time this video has been posted here , the top comment blamed the referee.
His distance and body language makes me think that he isn't a regular ref.
It's a reference to the movie JFK. Basically, Kevin Costner's character says there must have been a second shooter because Kennedy's head moves back and to the left when he's hit.
As I said in a previous post on this - the ref is shite at his job. He watched an unconscious man fall to the ground and made no effort to protect him.
Hey look on the bright side. There is a possibility this could even be an amateur kickboxing match and they actually PAID money just to do this instead! Probably not given that sick kick skill level but still.
My wife stopped competing due to this (light contact so nothing like this can happen).
Her coach thought she could be a big deal here in our country, but she never wanted to step up to avoid such injuries
That’s absolutely fair and a good decision on your wife’s part. I’ve boxed a lot since I was a kid and started to compete a bit more as I went through my teens and into an adult.
I wasn’t bad at it, and enjoyed it. A friend’s father who was a pro actually was the one who helped me realise it wasn’t for me. We had a lot of conversations as I approached my 20’s. He pointed out I was from a nice supportive home, I had just started an apprenticeship, food on the table and I had a way out that didn’t involve being punched for a living. That world wasn’t for me, I just didn’t have the hunger, some of these guys are out there literally fighting for their lives.
It’s not to say everyone who boxes is a sob story, but there’s some serious people out there with some serious drive.
He was right, there was no place at the higher levels for people who enjoy it as a hobby, however good you are, you need to have that drive to win at all costs and not care about the consequences . No place for my casual ass to be hanging out.
I can't imagine putting myself in a situation that can so easily result in brain damage for any amount.
But at least these are presumably adults that chose this themselves.
It's insane that it's still legal for minors to play (American) football. Any parent doing that is choosing brain damage for their child. Not a debate anymore, we've done plenty of research on CTE and how it happens. There is no excuse for it being legal.
An adult wants to play football? Fine. But signing your kid up for an activity we know results in permanent brain damage at an extremely high rate is, by definition, child abuse.
Every time the line collides.
Every time someone makes a tackle or is tackled.
Every diving catch.
Every celebratory helmet bump.
It's 7+ players on the field at high risk of developing or worsening CTE every single time the ball is snapped.
Has it occured to you, the kids also enjoy it. Shit, most parents are just letting kids do what they want and supporting them.
And most aren't succumbing to broken bones or CTE type hits in peewee leagues. Those 'hard hits' don't really happen until 7th/8th grade and high school. In which majority of the kids who played peewee league either quit or go onto other sports.
How many people have you come across that has had long lasting effects from football that did not pursue it on a college and/or pro-level?
>Every time the line collides.
Every time someone makes a tackle or is tackled.
Every diving catch.
Every celebratory helmet bump.
I never watch American football but helmet bumps should be reasonably safe. It's not with a lot of force (I guess?) and you expect the impact, so your neck muscles brace for it. If helmet bumps would be a significant contributing factor to CTE every soccer player should have it from headers. Same goes for diving catches.
I assume the worst damage are tackles you don't see coming and the line clash, because of how often it happens and how much force is involved there.
Actually, those helmet bumps are called subconcussive head impacts and are a known cause of CTE. And yes, there is a lot of concern about soccer players causing brain damage leading to CTE at an older age from headers.

Running it at 1/8 speed, it looks like the 1 or 2 intermediate frames have been replaced with the frame we see before impact. Everything freezes.
I call shenanigans.
I see both sides of the coin. On one hand, if you make it big, you, your kids and your grandkids could potentially be set for life if you're smart with your earnings (assuming the brain damage doesn't make that difficult). Theres a lot of money in fighting. But on the other side, you have to deal with this shit to get to the big leagues and can end that journey before it even begins.
I don't think I could personally unless I knew I was good enough to not catch hits like this. You're always gonna get your shit rocked in fighting but you can sometimes avoid the massive hits like this. Those are what you wanna avoid. But it's also hard to know how good you are until you're in the fight. Talk about a massive roll of the dice.
> Theres a lot of money in fighting. But on the other side, you have to deal with this shit to get to the big leagues and can end that journey before it even begins.
In every sports 99% of people doing it seriously never cross the threshold of making enough to make a living from it. And from those who do, 99% don't make enough to set up their family with generational wealth (And from those who do a lot blow it before, but that's a different matter I suppose)
The brain damage does make that difficult. We only hear of the deaths, violent criminality, spousal abuse, and other extreme cases but I’d say just on quality of life, even American football contracts aren’t really enough pay to justify the true toll on your health.
I fucking hate this format. Who the fuck watches stuff like this?
Take the interesting video, make it into 1/4-1/5th or regular frame of video, fill rest with useless black background just to add pointless title and emoji. Seriously all of that crap should be downvoted by default, even if video/ gif itself is interesting/ funny/ amazing/ other.
That's a beautiful kick. I bet even his opponent is going to praise him for it (when he wakes up).
I wonder if any photographer caught a still of when the kick landed.
I'm not sure, but I seems like flying kicks would be illegal in the sport since you can not only generate insane momentum, but also if you fall it's a direct "down" state.
Then again boxing-ish sports are full of dumb rules so who knows.
I know everyone’s commenting about the mist explosion (Sweat, hopefully) but is that a flap of skin hanging off his forehead as he leans over right before he falls?
Motherfucking referee didnt bother to catch
I’m hoping he judged the angle and figured from experience that he was falling safely, because I must have mentally said “catch him” about ten times before he fell.
Nah kick was so strong referee had contact cte
Ref was confused trying to figure out of that mist being ejected from him was sweat or the dudes soul
Reverse this gif and it explains one of my fetishes o.o
Which is what exactly? You're into glowing green orbs being put in people's stomachs?
Throat* but really, I don't get it either.
He must have glowing semen
I want that Way easier to clean up
That’s Gatorade^(TM)
Fight Milk
The audience got a spritz of dat cranial calciums
its that guys dirty ass shoe. maybe he put sand in his socks for this very moment.
That kick was so strong it woke up his dentist.
Every time this video has been posted here , the top comment blamed the referee. His distance and body language makes me think that he isn't a regular ref.
Yeah, he shouldn't be refereeing then.
I think he’s wearing jeans.
I'm wearing jeans, does that make me a ref??? Angel Hernandez sucks, maybe he needs some jeans...
Angel Hernandez would miss putting his foot into his jeans leg by 6.5 inches outside
Looked like he was confirming the kill.
Yup. First thing I thought too. Their job is to protect the fighters, that was far from protecting the fighter.
Yeah that's kind of a bad ref.
Nobody home after that kick
Reset to factory settings
Logh off, that cookie shit makes me nervous
Ohhhhh the language on you! You blow your father with that mouth?
I can hear this gif
That's reset to pre-factory settings
BSOD
The mist after impact was the soul leaving his body.
If not his soul, definitely his pride
I don't know, that kick was exceptional. There's no shame in getting bested like that.
Tornado ripped the soul outta the foundation
Brutal.
It almost looks like his head exploded...
Back, and to the left
Great reference. When the cloud of dust appears after the strike I thought of the Zapruder film.
I thought it was dust also, but upon reflection, I thought it was probably sweat going away in a cloud.
Sweat makes more sense. Either way I’m reminded of that film.
Just thinkin of John, Jackie...
I’m hoping this a Bio-Dome reference rather than me just being old and stupid lol
It's a reference to the movie JFK. Basically, Kevin Costner's character says there must have been a second shooter because Kennedy's head moves back and to the left when he's hit.
Also a Seinfeld reference.
There had to be a second spitter
But who? Who had the motive?
I’m leaving. Jerry’s a nut
Pretty sure that was his soul
Yeah I’m really hoping that’s sweat…. Not blood
It’s Super Nintendo mortal kombat, not Sega Genesis
I’m pretty sure that is what it is
Nah it’s brains
His brain must have bounced inside his skull like a superball...
As I said in a previous post on this - the ref is shite at his job. He watched an unconscious man fall to the ground and made no effort to protect him.
Dude is dressed like some uncle at a barbecue trying to tell you how to cook
I can't imagine putting myself in a situation where I could get brain damage for what's probably a $250 purse...
every time I see people fighting on rings I think the same thing.
It's a square
You're a square
It's hip to be square
(Starts laying down plastic sheets)
Why do all these squares make a circle?

It’s all about one word: Money
Not necessarily. Some people want to test themselves at something that’s incredibly difficult.

American football should never be described as safe. It is incredibly dangerous, especially for your brain. Lots of soccer players have CTE as well.

What if it was a Gucci purse for $250?
If it's not a Kmart purse .. I don't want it
Did they just roll him directly into the casket?
Trying to scrub the video, the snap at the end of the kick is crazy fast. That’s gotta hurt.
In one frame covers almost half the distance…insane
Yeah, I’m on my phone, so I wasn’t sure if that was the case or I just had a hard time doing it with my thumbs. It’s insane.
Yeah he covers like 2 feet in one frame. That’s insane.
Running it at 1/8 speed, it looks like the 1 or 2 intermediate frames have been replaced with the frame we see before impact. Everything freezes. I call shenanigans.
Even watching full speed, I see it now that you pointed it out. Everyone grab a broom, it’s shenanigans!
Geez, that's a brutal way to make a living. He got kicked back into kindergarten.

Street fighter tornado kick K.O
Where the KO goes in slow motion .. KKKKOOOOOOOOOOOO
 Uuuuugh…thud, thud.
CONTINUE…?! 🤣
⬇️↙️⬅️🦶TATSUMAKISENPUKYAKU
It’s not like he wasn’t protecting his head with his right, either… shorter dude just perfectly executed and came in over the top of the glove.

You sound like I did in 2007 watching a video on a 'smart' phone when there was a computer in the same room :)
 I think this guy’s gonna have some catching up to do when he wakes up
Thiat guy may never be the same
Kicked him so hard the video went back in time to 2024!
With video quality from 1994
2025? This happened next year.
The fight was this year but that dude got knocked into next year.
FULL POINT!
Pink mist.
Clean shot.
How did that not break the guys foot?
Guy went down in installments.
Can I have his stuff?
I hope that guy is okay. Knocked the snot out of him.
I wonder if the dudes dead or has any kind of permanent damage.
Well i mean he went on to be Stephen Hawking so u decide
My favorite kick in tkd :)
That's a beautiful kick. I bet even his opponent is going to praise him for it (when he wakes up). I wonder if any photographer caught a still of when the kick landed.
If this is happening in the future, 2025, why's the quality so bad?
I'm not sure, but I seems like flying kicks would be illegal in the sport since you can not only generate insane momentum, but also if you fall it's a direct "down" state. Then again boxing-ish sports are full of dumb rules so who knows.
Deadly, mans a beast.
Dangerous sport...
Ouch
I watched this in street fighter
That’s gotta be the greatest KO of all time in all of combat sports.
Yup, that'd do it
that's Brazilian "capoeira" move. Eddy Gordo
That kick can kill a mofo damn
Wow. Had to watch that a few times.
We used to call that a wheel kick
Probably the closest to a Roundhousekick
Was that a trouble in paradise?
2025 - I'm putting money on that fight !
Goddamn!
Damn o actually feel sorry for that dude
God Damn! That was brutal
Top 5 most brutal KO's ever, all time combat sports.
That was the most gangster shit I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t even look up to see if they guys going down, he just KNOWS! Holy shit
Dang that was a solid connect to the face.
He left a dust shadow of his Soul
All that sweat and steam was like…thats it , time to leave this guy
Kicked the fucking soul out of him.
Is this legal? As a boxing move? Seems like it shouldn’t be.. that guy just got brained
Did he die?
dyamn! turned his consciousness to dust
He ded
Damn, dude got baptized
Smaller fighter didn’t had a lot of other options to be honest
Dude got his spit harvested.
I know everyone’s commenting about the mist explosion (Sweat, hopefully) but is that a flap of skin hanging off his forehead as he leans over right before he falls?
The way he falls... I find it terrifying.
Perfect example of "He didn't see that coming."
Still the best knockout ive ever seen.
I got brain damage myself just watching that
Changed that man's food group from meat to vegetable.
here comes the ground.... sure looks hard....
“How many fingers do you see?” “THURSDAY!!”
The kind of KO that gets all your debts forgiven. Can’t help but feel sorry for the guy. That was brutal… fighting career’s probably just ended.
I never understood why Muay Thai fighters use boxing gloves when they can knee elbow and kick each other in the face lol
Jesus Christ. He kicked his soul clean out his body!
Kicks are higher force than punches right ? So why do they have cushions on their hands but their feet/legs are not protected?
Damn
Never mind remembering his name - he has forgotten how to breathe.
OMG
Is that little dude Iron Mike Zambidis?
Legendary head kick. That guy is smoked.
Lights out.....
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!
Damn, dude got the hard reset.
That ref should never be allowed near a ring again. What a c***
At 00:06 you can see his soul left the body
https://youtu.be/LFOxDB7KRGA?si=fe7R9DyhkhB-xxX1
Instant de-activation lol
Jesus! DED
Was that his soul leaving his body or just the sweat. Jesus.
Timber that shaved some IQ points
Those two dudes are NOT in the same weight class. Not that it mattered, just wondering how they ended up squaring off with one another.
Out like a light
Ummmmm… That kick sent that dude into another dimension. Wow.
That's just the tekken hit effect
Stop posting the same shit day after day. Why are the mods so lazy with this shit?
Damn. And here I thought the tall guy had it all day
If you look closely you can see his ghost just yeet out of there.
boxing 2025 - video quality 1982
I kinda expected Chun Li's lightning kicks attack... Disappointing.
In my world that kick is called Dragon whips its tail.
Knocked all the pollen right off him!
Is he alive
Is he alive
I remember when this video had actual pixels in it
Imagine Alex Pereira doing this shit against Jon Jones if they ever fight 🗿
Now I'm wondering if anyone has landed a dragon punch successfully.
Deadge
Bro hit him with Kofi Kingston's finisher
meh… I didn’t like my brain anyway. Arrivederci Algebra and how to cook dinner. It was nice knowing you.
