One guy (can't find a name) knocked out 1 ref and hit another in the same fight.

I remember seeing this clip on the news around the time it happened. It also became famous for being used in the opening to the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle.

I was rewatching Ward vs Augustus for an article and Steve Smoger takes a left hook from Augustus as he tries to separate them. http://i.imgur.com/rgEfFOs.mp4
