Thread: Fake knockout?

Rodriguez gets phantom KO in Uruguay | Boxing News | Fightnews

Weird one this

i thought it could be legit

one on the top of the head one behind the ear

ive seen more fake knockouts

dirrell abraham, mayweather ortiz

If it's fake he's a hell of an actor. The stumble after he got up was spot on.

Nah I believe it. Looks like a grazing shot but there was definitely contact right behind the ear. The way he went down, his facial expressions, the way he stumbled - they all looked legit. Either it was real or the KO'd guy is a great actor.

For sure, we've all seen that stumble hundreds of times in boxing. If this was a work, that guy should be in the WWE because he sold the knockout perfectly.

Looks to me like he gets elbowed with the follow through of the first punch. Punch, elbow, forearm all on the top/back of the bonce.

If he was faking it he deserves an oscar.

I'm gonna say fake. Just a gut feeling. Those elbows across the back of the head probably hurt but I cant see them as forceful/ concussive shots

I'd say its legit just due to the guys reaction, when you watch the replay those punches truly didn't connect, but he may have been clipped right above the ear or on the temple.

Strange. I kept mousing back to watch in slowmo but cant catch the shot. The right folded him but only the elbow could have connected but that was at the top of the head. Maybe the guy never lost his soft spot or rolled off the change table one time to many as an infant but I don't see ko contact.

You? You fight so would that contact at the top of the head just above the forehead bother you? I think not. Hands get broken in that area.
