• Kawoya down from a Meekins combination ending in a left hook in round two.
• John Meekins dropped to the canvas for a flash knockdown while the two fighters furiously exchange punches moments into round 3.
• Kawoya crashes to the canvas for the 2nd time from a flush right hand, moments after scoring his own knockdown in round 3.

This is the punch that lead to one of the most notorious endings to a boxing match, ever. The right hand thrown by Kawaya, at the exact same time as the fight is being stopped, sent Meekhins sprawling to the canvas, where he stayed for well over what would have been a 10 count.
