Watch the thrilling video here as Miguel Angel Torres knocked out Manny Tapia in the 2nd round.

Manny Tapia had mouthed oftentimes prior to the MMA fight about knocking cold Torres, who did not go wrong to notice Tapia’s audacious words.

So Torres acted Tapia’s game and, as it usually is in Torres fights, it was a no contest. Torres knocked Tapia down twice and beat him on the ground, forcing a stoppage at 3:04 of the 2nd round.

“Manny was babbling out about knocking me out, but I have pretty proper standup,” Torres said after rising to 35-1.

Tapia had blood flowing down his cheek at the post-fight news league, courtesy of Torres’ jab. And though Tapia (10-1-1) did not consider he could lose a toe-to-toe fisticuffs, he was rapidly disenchanted of that opinion.

Seconds into the fight, Torres downed him with a jab that had Tapia blinking away.

“I always believed I had a great chin, but I guess not,” Tapia said.
