    Looks like that jab might have had Brit Level power behind it and it induced a very rare condition known as DRDD ie. Delayed Reaction Discombobulation Delirium

    Apparently he’s in good condition so maybe dehydration or heat related:nusenuse:

    The closest thing I can remember to this is when Simon Brown got KOd and was laying on the canvas throwing punches at his opponent. But this guy was actually walking around throwing punches

    That's crazy and scary. Looks like his controller was broken. Was the guy ok after the fight? What the hell did he get hit with?

    May be it not directly boxing related, possibly he had a medical episode, brain switch off briefly then not reboot immediately.

    Hopefully the reason will be identified as it indeed was concerning to watch, i think Buthelezi's career might be on hold for a while until cause found, and distinct possibility his career might well be over.

    Wow! One of the craziest things I've seen in a boxing ring. Glad the ref made the call quick.

    the referee not stopping the fight right there was disgusting. Something really nasty could have happened this night.

    Scary as ****.

    I would say that this guy cant see ****. He just "saw" a blur (the referee) and followed it to throw whatever. Complete autopilot, the most brutal autopilot I've ever seen, tbh. Autopilot is something quite common, but not to that point! I hope he's OK.

    Gotta give the referee some credit for identifying the situation

    What makes it even more bizarre is I didn't read the description and I thought I was supposed to be looking at the other fighter and I wasn't paying him any attention. More disturbing upon second viewing and watching the replay

    I have watched it many times to see if the guy's eyes are open or if they are closed because of the punches. But no, it seems the guy has his eyes open. Thanks god that referee has a brain.

    I would like to see the whole fight or at least the whole round because he actually looked OK at first and then he just turned and walked towards the corner and started punching completely out of it. Really strange to say the least

    Yeah the ref handled that well

    This was a bit weird but nothing as weird as that one

    Based on the looks of that gym, would not be surprised if he was having heat stroke. Scary.
