Didn't see it mentioned previously after Haye/Klit, but that punch by Ola Afolabi on the undercard was an absolute peach of a shot.
Stunning one punch KO, perfectly set up and countered over a lazy jab! Lights out. Brutal.
If you haven't see it, do yourself a favour and check it out.
It was Terry Dunstan. Not exactly a household name, but he was a very solid fighter back in the day and this was part of his comeback. Obviously hasn't started too well.

Afolabi is a fascinating fighter. He has great skill but just doesn't seem to have that X factor or something....I don't know? He's incredibly quick, has one punch KO power (though is not known for it), and is one of the slipperiest guys around today....you know, everyone talks about guys like Berto, Mosley, and various other mainstream black names as being 'slick' (God knows why? They're about as slick as a kick in the nuts) and yet someone like Afolabi is right up there with Mayweather, Ward, Hopkins and you don't hear a damned peep out of anyone about it?
"Yo peeps, Pakyow fought totally slick black cats like Msoley and wasted em bra! Even Berto, da slickest cat around couldn't match Pakiao's slickest straight left hands if day fought. Pwn LAMO KO!" or "Mayweather makes every ***** look like a ***** ***** when it comes to defense *****! Dat dude got defense so good you never see him in the ring....I haven't seen him for like year now! Dats how slick dat cat is yo!" and various other ****e like that.
Some of these lesser known guys have got to start getting peoples love. Ola is a purists dream if you dig the Mayweather style. Wale omatoso is another guy who's just moved to Roach's stable and is one talented fighter. You wait! He's gonna big time soon!
Edit: Got beat to it....too slow at typing. One finger typist. Need some tech-savvy typing skills like Afolabi's counter punch.
