Muay Thai Fighter Knocks Both His Opponent And The Referee Out In The Span Of 2 Seconds

HOLY SHIT! Hey ref, when you step in there to stop the fight next time, maybe try to turtle a bit, eh? Instead of rushing in with your head right where a foot was headed?

When you decide enough is enough as the referee of a fight – ESPECIALLY when it looks to be a standing TKO – you either remove the attacker away from the person they’re pummeling on with great force, or grab the incapacitated fighter like a they’re a grenade with the pin pulled. That’s your job. Don’t let them take any more damage than they need to. This guy went with an alternate route, where he just flung his arm around homeboy’s shoulder like he was posing for a picture with the lad, and *BINK*!

TOUGH.

Hopefully your Saturday’s going better than his. I’ll check in later to chat about Liddell/Ortiz III.
