    Great GIF...probably Foster's best k.o. because his opponent was about Foster's own size. Rondon never wanted a rematch I don't think.

    Brutal KO! A wicked right hand, folowed by two terriffic left hooks. I'm surprised
    that Rondon hasn't been beheaded by those punches.

    I remember watching the knockout of Vincente Rondon by Bob Foster on television at the time that the bout took place. Foster sure had one awesome left hook!

    Nice the way he landed that long right and then stepped inside to throw those two short hooks.

    A frightening knockout.
    Was Rondon badly hurt as a result of that, a broken bone or something?
    I just seem to remember something.

    Rondon talked a lot of sh*t before the fight and Foster really wanted to punish him,he said he was disappointed he couldn't hit him longer.Rondon looked like he had come face to face with reality when he first sampled Foster's power.

    I saw this fight back then when it happened...it was more like a public execution or a horror movie than a fight. Rarely have I seen so much fear in a fighter's eyes than Rondon's. Foster was at his awesome best IMO, even more so than those one punch, picture perfect one punch ko's of Tiger and Quarry. Rondon pissed off Foster initially,..first by merely owning a part of the lightheavyweight title, and also by smarting off to Bob via the press (most certainly not in person). Bigggg mistake. Foster said in an interview that he never wanted to knock out an opponent any more than Vincente Rondon. Foster was truly The Killer Preying Mantis from Mars in this fight. This was a masterpiece in purposeful stalking with murderous intentions...and the way Foster trapped and executed Rondon was chillingly effective.

    This is a particularly impressive ko of Foster's. That last left hook was absolutely devastating....but he was out before it landed really.

    Hey Red! Saw it too at the time. Before the fight your buds, as well as mine, probably thought the same thing: "Bob's gonna ice this guy pretty quick!" The end? Rondon down and out, on q u e e r steet in a puddle!
    Big Bob was a snake, along with that ATG jab, that could, big time, BANG!!!
