In the video above, two amateur female Muay Thai fighters are competing in Australia’s No Boundary Fight promotion. In the opening seconds, the duo touches gloves, and the woman in red gear fires off a low kick-high kick combo. Both strikes connect perfectly, and the result is a knockout in just six seconds. It’s difficult to pin down the exact event information like the date of the card or fighters involved — do I hear a “Lena Thorn” from the ring announcer? — but the clip alone has already gone viral and sparked strong emotions.
The majority of viewers are unimpressed by the KO, which many deem cheap and immoral if not outright illegal. A smaller percentage stand by the above rule to protect yourself at all times once the bell rings. Check out a sample of the online reactions below:
