“Folded Like a Cheap Suit”: Fans Have a Field Day After Clip of a Brutal Knockout From Rough n’ Rowdy Event Takes Over the Internet

In combat sports, there is nothing that can rival the excitement generated by a knockout. Sure, some hardcore fans love the technical exchange, but for the masses, watching a fighter go down on the canvas remains the premier definition of thrill. It’s something that a win on the scorecard can never replicate.

Whether it’s boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or karate, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that haymaker that can put the lights out of a target. It doesn’t matter if it’s a matchup for the undisputed belt or a brawl in the alley; people equally cherish the sudden stoppage. This sentiment was witnessed once again in the reactions to a viral clip.

A Brutal KO at the Rough N’ Rowdy 22 Event

Recently, a video featuring a brutal knockout has taken the internet by storm. The said clip is from the recently concluded Rough N’ Rowdy 22 event, featuring two heavyweight fighters: one in black trunks and the other in American flag trunks. Just a few seconds into the clip, the fighter in the black trunks can be seen getting brutally knocked out after a shot directly connected to his chin.

The person on the receiving end is Joe ‘The Black Italian Stallion. Despite his large and muscular body, the fighter was upset by his rival, ‘The American Redneck’. Unlike his jacked opponent, the winner had a ‘dad body’. However, with a single haymaker, he brutally knocked out his more vicious-looking opponent. As soon as Joe fell on the canvas, the referee wasted no time in stopping the fight.
