Don’t think that was to do with weight classes. The back hand was sharp and punched straight through the target https://t.co/Jt96VxAlcS

Fans react to a viral knockout clip

Another fan took shots at the teacher who tried to diffuse the situation, stating that she looked like she was a referee giving count.
Teacher walks over after he's dropped like she's about to give a count 🤣

Moreover, one fan praised the teacher and claimed that she did a good job of headlining the situation. He also added that the child who got knocked out shouldn’t have fought with a person who was well above his weight.
Teacher did a good job getting the kid to a neutral corner but waved off the count straight away. Always a big ask going up a couple of weight divisions. Suicide to walk in wailing with his chin in the air against a puncher. It’ll be tough to rebuild from this.

One fan pointed out that the KO’d kid was lucky as his head landed on the bag and not the floor.
It's really really lucky his head landed where it did, right on the backpack.

Furthermore, one fan stated that the child knew how to box as he measured the distance with his left hand and punched with a straight right.
He measured with a left and put him down with a right. He knew what he was doing

One fan stated that the child won’t start a fight ever again after this brutal KO.
He won’t be starting a fight again with him anytime soon

Following this, one fan hilariously claimed that although the bag saved him from the fall, but not the embarrassment.
Bag saved that kid from the fall😭😂🤣 nothing could save the kid from that delicious humble pie

Lastly, One fan even referenced Roy Jones Jr.’s iconic line during Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Márquez 4.
