Richard Torrez, Jared 'Big Baby' Anderson deliver back-to-back brutal KOs for Top Rank
Saturday night's Top Rank card delivered the violence.
One bout saw heavyweight boxer Richard Torrez go viral with a brutal knockout of Marco Antonio Canedo after only 43 seconds in the first round. Torrez sent Canedo reeling into the ropes with a hard left, then followed it up with a left and right before the referee stepped in to end the fight.
As Torrez backed off, a seemingly unconscious Canedo face-planted into the floor.

Those kind of knockouts, in which a boxer clearly gets in some extra blows after his opponent was clearly done, are never what you want to see in boxing. A scary scene unfolded as Canedo stayed down for a couple minutes, but he eventually sat up and seemed aware of his surroundings.
With the win, Torrez, a 2020 Olympic super heavyweight silver medalist, improves his professional record to 3-0.
One fight later, Jared "Big Baby" Anderson scored his own highlight KO against Miljan Rovcanin with a vicious right hook in the final seconds of the second round.
