Round 1 Manhoef circles on the outside, wary, as from the center of the ring, Mark Hunt primes himself to lunge and attack. Hunt lunges to flurry, and Manhoef counters with a huge left and right hook combo that land square on the Samoan Monsters jaw, sending him crashing to the mat at a mere 18 seconds in the first round for a stunning KO.
Ive just watched the fight. Hunt is a innactive pay cheque fighter and was finshed after the Fedor fight. The left hook did'nt seem like much and it looked like the right hand pretty much put him to sleep before he hit the floor and did all the damage.
Mel followed up with a couple of G&P punches but Hunt was done as soon as the right hand connected. He walked right onto the right hand and the punch drove his jaw into the back of his skull.
and to think that Sefo annihilated manhoef in a matter of seconds ( 41 secs ) ! (and landed everything but the kitchen sink on hunt's cranium but couldn't finish him )
Hunt's not a hungry fighter anymore and Manhoef punches like a beast. I'm nto suprised one bit than Manhoef KO'd him. In fact i thought Manhoef would win if he got the chance to land, and he did.
**** YEAH!!! Shows how much power Manhoef has. ****ing beast. I'm still surprised he managed to KO Hunt that quickly though.
that's why i was asking..because he fought hunt under mma rules.. Ironically , i personally always thought that manhoef's best fights were the ones in which he got subbed ( vs akiyama & dong sik ) ...two losses , but two super impressive fights imo
The retirement talk was just a heat of the moment thing when he lost to Mousasi. You got got to hand it to him, he takes a tough fight in less than 24 hours notice and KO's a guy who has an iron head.
