Ryan Garcia stopped Conor Benn in Round 2 but this slick 3-punch combination was the beginning of the end. Garcia first throws a dangerous left hook, which Benn rolls underneath. But that missed hook becomes a range-finder — helping Garcia find the distance for a powerful overhand right that floors the Brit and leaves him dazed. A great example of how a punch doesn't always have to land to be effective. 📹 jesusacguy / IG, aliyahorozco / TT, asauceyvegas / IG #ryangarcia #conorbenn #boxing #boxi

Will any of these punches KO Conor Benn? Ryan Garcia has some of the fastest and most explosive punches in boxing. Here we rate three of his BEST punches captured from ringside - firstly, there's his jab that allows him to set up his 2 most effective power punches - the overhand right, shown here against Mario Barrios, and the devastating left hook against Devin Haney. #ryangarcia #conorbenn #boxing #boxingnews #shorts

Thoughts? This just happened at UFC Paris when kiwi fighter Dan Hooker had a video play to the French fans right before his fight against local Salahdine Parnasse. After Hooker lost by KO in the first round, the French fans didn't hold back as Hooker left the arena. #danhooker #salahdineparnasse #ufc #mmanews #mma

Deserved? This cocky MMA fighter tried to intimidate his respectful opponent but ends up getting knocked out. Talk about instant karma... #mma #instantkarma #combatsports #knockout #mmafighter

Was there anything else? Here’s why Moses Itauma looked like a zombie in his fight against Filip Hrgovic last weekend. For those who don't know - the 21-year-old Moses Itauma was seen as the next Mike Tyson. He was undefeated and was fighting for a world heavyweight title. After winning every single round against Croation opponent Filip Hrgovic, round 9 happened where the ref called it off... #boxing #mosesitauma #filiphrgovic #boxingnews #boxingfans

What went wrong? Moses Itauma was being called the NEXT Mike Tyson - undefeated, explosive and one of the biggest young prospects in heavyweight boxing. Then he faced Filip Hrgović for the vacant heavyweight world title… and suffered the first loss of his career. Itauma dropped Hrgović early and appeared to be dominating the fight, but the experienced Croatian refused to quit. By Round 9, the fight had completely changed. Was Itauma overhyped? Did he underestimate Hrgović? #B#BoxingM#MosesItauma

Deserved? Perhaps a story to tell the kids… This happened recently at Combat Night in Kissimmee, Florida. During the pre-fight weigh-ins, amateur MMA fighter Bryan Lugo’s opponent had a few words to say about his wife. Safe to say, his “ground and pound” came with a little extra instant karma. #mma #instantkarma #combatsports #husbandandwife #husband

YouTube: FTC Coach Make your punches count! Wearing the blue headguard, Olympic amateur boxer Kaian Reis shows how to land effective shots whilst defending those from your opponent. Watch the sparring closely and you’ll see how Reis will bait his opponent with his jab and feints to get his reactions. But those reactions also create openings where he can land his shots. What do you think? #boxing #sparring #amateurboxing #amateurboxer #boxeo

Did he go too far? A man vs woman MMA fight turned into instant karma. Miyamoto Rei challenged Toshizou in a historic male vs female fight at BreakingDown 20, but after pushing and slapping her opponent at the face-off, she had to face him when the bell rang. Watch as Toshizou responds in the cage with a devastating first-round KO. #MMA #InstantKarma #ManVsWoman #CombatSports #Cocky

Was this KO caused by power or timing? This happened recently in Mohammedia, Morocco at a professional Kyokushin (karate) bout. Abdelkarim El Omrani landed a brutal counter left hook in the opening round to knock out his opponent. This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't telegraph your punches. Loading up before you throw gives your opponent time to read your attack and fire back with a counter. The cleaner and less predictable your punches are, the harder they are to anticipate. #Kyokushi
