Let’s talk knockouts for a sec. Last night, at the ONE Championship “Kings of Destiny” card in Manila, Philippines, former featherweight champion Honorio Banario pulled off one of the sickest knockouts in recent memory, separating opponent Jaroslav Jartim from his senses with a single punch.
After Jartim’s body kick had little to no effect on Banario, “The Rock” caught his Czech opponent’s leg and delivered a vicious body-head combo that turned the lights out quick. Turns out, eight-division boxing world champion Manny Pacquiao was sitting cageside and even he was impressed.
Banario stepped over and didn’t even bother to follow Jartim to the ground. Before his opponent hit the floor, he knew it was over. And he completed one of those rare, highlight-reel walk off KO’s. Best kind of knockout if there ever was one.

Man that was crazy wasn’t it? The guys over at ONE Championship in Asia are definitely doing it right and the card was their most exciting yet. It’s probably good to keep a close eye on this promotion in the future.
