Conor Cooke brought the violence at BKFC Fight Night: Manchester.
On Saturday, Cooke (5-1) turned out the lights and left opponent Stevie Taylor (1-1) twitching on the canvas after a straight right hand connected straight on the button. The event took place at Planet Ice in Manchester, England.
The stoppage came at 1:01 of Round 1. Cooke’s face was already a mess from damage sustained in previous exchanges.
According to Bare Knuckle News UK, Taylor will undergo reconstructive surgery on his nose and plans to retire, but is in otherwise good health.
