Israel Adesanya Getting Knocked Out

Watch Izzy Adesanya Getting Sparked Out!

Now I did not even know about this video until I went looking for it but apparently it shows the only time "The Last Stylebender" got knocked out in a fight.

It looks like some sort of Japanese event, held in a boxing ring. The video is short so I don't know if it's MMA or Kickboxing or even Muay Thai and as I don't speak Japanese I have no idea what the commentators or ringmaster were saying

However, it does show Izzy Israel Adesanya losing another fight, besides his one to Jan Blachowicz at light heavyweight in the UFC. 

This fight is obviously outside of the #UFC so his record of 22 wins and 1 loss still stands, however it is interesting to watch a young Izzy in action, especially getting sparked out, as I never knew about this fight before.

Enjoy.

Israel Adesanya Getting Knocked Out

Israel Adesanya v Jan Błachowicz - #UFC259

In the UFC, Izzy also tried to repeat Conor McGregor's success of holding two belts at two different weights when he went up a division to fight Jan Blachowicz at light heavyweight.

However, it didn't look like Izzy had prepared for the fight by gaining weight, and the much stronger and heavier fighter won the day on points. 

At least Izzy didn't get knocked out though, unlike the first fight video, as Jan won on points in a unanimous decision at #UFC259.

I did have a video of the full fight for Israel Adesanya v Jan Blachowicz, however, it was someone filming the fight from the audience, so the UFC has taken it down from YouTube, if you were lucky enough to visit this page in the first 2 weeks it was up you could have watched what was a quite decent and steady phone video of the whole fight on this page. Instead, all we have are the official highlights.

Anthony Joshua Loses His Belts To Andy Ruiz

Shock outcome at Madison Garden as Anthony Joshua loses to stand in fighter Andy Ruiz

It was meant to be an easy fight for AJ, a fight to show the Americans including Detonay Wilder and Tyson Fury what he could do in the ring. That was until the 3rd round knock out.

It was a round that Joshua had Ruiz on the canvas himself but then afterwards he was rocked by a punch that put himself on the floor.

He took a count and then carried on before another knock down and AJ's chin and legs were wobbling from that point on.

How many fights is that now that I have stayed up all night to watch only to be disapointed by no true KO. The other week Amir Khan let himself down by giving up after a low blow and now we have Anthony Joshua losing his 4 belts to someone who probably never expected to ever have one of them round his waist in his life time.

I want to see UK fighters show some true grit, I want to see Nigel Benn back in the ring, I want to see Lennox Lewis fighting Tyson, I want to see Joe Calzaghe go over to Vegas and stay undefeated not get floored and lose in his last events like Ricky Hatton. Come on UK we can do better!

Amir Khan v Terence Crawford

Top Boxing Tonight as Amir Khan fights ,Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden, New York

Crawford has a perfect 34-fight record and has seen him capture 3 world titles in different weight classes, including holding all four belts to become an undisputed champion at super-lightweight in 2017.

Khan's last world-title shot saw him knocked out by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in 2016. The former super-lightweight champion had stepped up to middleweight to face the classy Mexican but questions over the durability of his chin arrived quickly nonetheless.

The money is definitley on Khan to lose tonight in the US and you can watch it on BT Sport of check out this facebook page for free films, sport and TV.

Don't like betting have a go at this game we will play on future events.

If your fighter knocks out their opponent in an early round the more points they get. If you are on the favourite and you get beaten by a TKO its bad.

Check the rules out then add your fighter and round or going the distance in the comments.

• First Round - 10 points
• Under 3 rounds - 8 points
• Under 5 rounds - 6 points
• Under 7 rounds - 4 points
• Under 10 rounds - 3 points
• KO or TKO - 5 points + (12 - the round ) their opponent was knocked out in, - 5 if favourite was floored but +5 if underdog won by TKO/KO.
• e.g Crawford floored in round 4 means 5 points + (12 total rounds - round 4 KO = 8) = 13 points - 5 (as they were the favourite) so a total of 8 points.
• But if Khan won by KO or TKO in round 4 means 5 points + (12 rounds - round 4 KO =8) = 13 points + 5 (as they were the underdog) so a total of 18 points!
• Picking the underdog and going the distance and winning unanimously - 10 points
• Picking the underdog and going the distance and winning on decision - 8 points
• Picking the favourite and going the distance and winning unanimously - 6 points
• Picking the favourite and going the distance and winning on decision - 4 points

Have a go and see where you end up after the fight and feel free to rant off about Khan and Crawford.

Anthony Joshua v Jarrell Miller

June 1st Madison Square Garden - Big Babby Jarrel Miller v Anthony Joshua

This breakdown includes the best knockouts, TKO's and finishes by the up coming up clash between Anthony Joshua and "Big Babby" Jarrel Miller, the ex kick boxer.

Hopefully we will get to see a knockdown in this fight, as the last 2 UK fights I have commented on wishing to see a KO finish just never materialised. Sure I made some money from betting on these fights ending on a decision finish but I'd have rather lost those bets and seen great explosive endings than winning on Eubank at 3/1 to win by decision.

This time I will be betting a smaller stake as I am secretly hoping AJ can put JM's ass on the canvass pretty soon but it's always wise to go with your gut. Also if AJ doesn't KO Big Babby, I think the price for a Ref's decision is going to be slightly more than the 3/1 price I got from the Eubank JNR v DeGale fight.

A smaller stake with bigger odds will even it out, and with a better than nothing chance of a TKO or KO finish to this fight I won't be losing too much if AJ gets Miller to a 10 count. Or if by some miracle Jarrel manages to eat AJ's punches and go the full distance then the bet will pay me back for another uneventful ending to British boxers match. 

Either way I will be happy, a points decision or an AJ KO/TKO and if they fight like the UK Boxing warriors I have been waiting for over the last six months then I will happily walk away with my money in the bookies pocket if another poor finish ends the night,

I said it before the Eubank v DeGale fight, I said it before the Frampton v Warrington fight, and excluding some knockdowns do we really have to go all the way back to Money Mayweather beating Conor McGreggor with a TKO to get the nearest top fighter from these Isles to finish on the canvas.

Also Conor is Irish, not a real Boxer, and didn't actually want to finish by a TKO anyway preferring to go down for the full count. Added to that he could have at any moment ended the fight in style with a backward spinning kick to throw Mayweather halfway across the front seats. That would have bested any boxing ending I have seen so far for sure and probably earned Conor a standing ovation.

So this time I demand a KO from AJ or Miller, the most likely outcome being a KO or TKO giving AJ the win in the end as I can't see Miller giving AJ any problems in this upcoming headliner.

Remember if you don't have Sky or BT and want to watch the fight on your flat screen TV have a word with the Free Fims and TV man.

He can set you up to watch all the PPV boxing and football games you would want to see. So to prepare us for this battle ahead we have two videos of the best of each fighter in action. Here are Joshua's 22 wins by deadly force.

As always please leave your comments in the boxes below and let me know ASAP when videos are removed by YouTube who have some stupid way of enabling people to embed videos then shutting them off for people who do. The modern Internet is here, and it's not as good as it used to be that's for sure, well apart from watching PPV Boxing For Free that is!
