Showboating boxer cops brutal knockout in dying seconds of fight

Sam Maxwell had been dropped twice and was being taunted by his opponent in the dying seconds of the final round of his fight — then he did something nobody expected.

Sam Maxwell scored a dramatic knockout in the final 15 seconds worthy of any Hollywood film.

The 30-year-old super-lightweight was down on the scorecards, having been dropped twice, as his French opponent, Sabri Sediri, looked to have boxed to an away upset.

With the clock running down Sediri goaded Maxwell, showboating with his hands down leaving an exposed chin.

Woooooow! 😳

However, out of nowhere, Maxwell managed to do what had escaped him the entire fight: Land a telling shot to trouble Sediri.

With just 15 seconds left, Maxwell pulled out a devastating right hand, flattening the Frenchman and completely turning the fight around with seconds remaining.

As Sediri fell crashing down, his Hackney born opponent could not help but let out a roar as he nailed the cocksure underdog.

The Frenchman made it to his feet, but upon stumbling back into the ropes the referee waved off the contest and Maxwell saved his unbeaten record with seconds remaining.

the way he's just bouncing around the ring as if he owns the place and then just gets knocked out😭😂
