Boxer taunts opponent, promptly gets knocked out


On Saturday night there was a light-middleweight fight between Daquan Arnett and Miguel Zuniga that took place in Sunrise, Florida. In the fifth round of the fight, after the two exchanged a flurry of punches, Zuniga told Arnett to come on and bring it. He waved his arms, encouraging Arnett to fight. Seconds after the taunt, Arnett knocked Zuniga to the ground. Here it is from another angle.

Zuniga was able to get up after the knockdown, says ESPN, but he was clearly dazed and the referee stopped the fight shortly thereafter.
To recap: here’s the taunt.

And then the knockdown. Yikes.
