“Could be the punch of the year????” – Boxing Fans React as KSI’s Former Coach Scores a Sensational KO

Only forty-seven seconds into the bout, Viddal Riley put Jone Volau to bed for a good night’s sleep! This was Riley’s twentieth boxing match, and he came with a 5-fight professional win streak. The cruiserweight boxer, Riley, has one and a half stars for a rating on BoxRec. Given his numbers, one can easily make out that it is just a start. However, that Riley was fighting in Wembley, London, his hometown, added excitement to the fight.

Both the fighters started with high guards, but Volau looked sloppy and he struggled to shift weight. In a nutshell, he lacked basics: forcefully tried cutting the distance, took his guards down, and dangerously lowered his head opposite Riley. The amalgamation of this led Riley to brush Volau with a clean left hand and the former to celebrate a knockout victory.

You pay for your mistakes: everything Volau did wrong in the fight

First things first, Volau barely showed a strategy against Viddal Riley coming into this bout. He could not understand his own reach and his foot positioning was all wrong for the little time he survived. In addition, that Volau was not comfortable carrying his own body weight was completely visible. Repeatedly, he dropped his lead hand down and took his sight off Riley.

As a result, Volau missed horribly, though he made his swings. There is something called a center line fighters must avoid as they push forward, be it with a legit punch or a feint. Volau did otherwise. He kept his head leaning towards his right. This resulted in an inconsistency in maintaining his stance and unequal distribution of body weight. As a result, Riley found himself in a sweet spot and landed that vicious, but predictable, left hand.

Imagine paying to watch this fight and it’s over in under a min! Viddal Riley with a KO

Riley had coached YouTuber KSI for the Logan Paul fight. It has been almost nine years now since he started boxing. Following his KO win over Volau, here is how fans have reacted:

True, never take your guards down. Protect yourself all the time.

Another important lesson is ‘never take your eyes off your opponent.’

Take your eyes off, get your guards down, and to misquote Dylan Thomas, you will not go gentle into that good night.

Honestly, in such scenarios, it will be disappointing.

Amen. Lord have mercy.
