He didn’t even see it coming.

A mighty blow from Polish boxer Krzysztof Głowacki knocked out Patryk Tołkaczewski in the KSW Colosseum 2.

The most impressive part was that Głowacki was on his back, underneath a full mount when he threw the knockout punch.

It was Głowacki’s debut as an MMA fighter.

He previously had a successful career as a boxer, winning the WBO cruiserweight title - as well as other belts - with a 32-4 record.

Just two minutes into the fight, Głowacki was in the precarious position of being underneath the dominant ground grappling position known as the full mount.

Escape is normally virtually impossible - except for the most skilled jiu-jitsu masters.

But Głowacki solved the problem his own way - and simply boxed his way out.

With Tołkaczewski raining down blows, Głowacki unleashed a ferocious left hook - and it caught Tołkaczewski by surprise.

He likely only realised what had happened when he woke up.

The punch has already been dubbed a contender for knockout of the year.
