Haha! The counter punch was thrown from the most awkward positioning. Still a very effective counter punch!!
Easy fight for Troyanovsky, he has quick hands. Portillo didn’t do much to defend his undefeated condition. The hit he received didn’t look impressive at all but cached him still cold.
Agreed, it looked like a glancing blow. Troyanovsky has probably treated candles more harshly!
Kinda ironic it was like how Eduard was knocked out by Indongo.
That punch certainly accelerated his head in the opposite direction with a bit of velocity. It shows that the brain is equally sensitive to left right stoppage as against up and down as in uppercuts and shots to the forehead. The lightest knock out ( with europeans) is to jar the brain against the projections inside the skull eminateing from the upper face and eye sockets. These projections along with skull and jaw shape are different in various ethnic groups. Boxers who want to win should study skull anatomy to place their shots.
