Gary Stark getting KO'ed (Video)

[-Antonio-]

He had his chin up, he was square, and he had his hands down. Thats the first thing you learn, and he failed to do any of those.

That kind of shot can change a fighter's style permanently. Joh Ruiz became a hugger after being clocked by Tua.

damn that **** reminded me of the cro cop knockout! they fell almost the same but good thing garys foot didnt twist under him like crocops.

that was a real concussion.

This is the way I see it. All of today's fighters see Roy Jones and Muhammad Ali fighting with their hands low and they think it's cool. But in reality, those guys are blessed with super-human reflexes and a sense of timing.

Those qualities do not necessarily describe Gary Stark.

That KO could've been avoided if he just kept his hands higher. When you keep your hands up, not only do you block punches, but you discourage your opponent from even throwing them. Most fighters need a target or else they won't throw.

Right on the button...too many guys emulating the greats, yet there's a reason why those small few are special; they simply have superior reflexes and quickness. Gary was asking for that ko, holding his hands at his stomach.

Oh wow, that was a brutal KO. Best KO of the year...I completely agree. What a ****ing right cross...

It's funny that Stark was so angry over the Oliver decision, yet he comes into this fight thinking he's inhuman with his hands down like he's way better than this dude. Karma's a *****.
