Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness one of the biggest KO's of 2018 thanks to a lightning quick overhand right from lightweight prospect Teofimo Lopez.
The 21-year-old Honduran-American fighter certainly put on a show against Mason Menard on the grandest stage of them all, Madison Square Garden, at the weekend.
And it took just 44 seconds to land a brutal punch that left his opponent frozen in mid-air.

No, really. He doesn't move after the round one hit.
He celebrated by doing Cristiano Ronaldo's "SIIIII" celebration, as well as backflipping in the ring. Oh and he also did a Fortnite dance because that's all the range these days, isn't it?

Menard just faceplants the canvas after this huge right. Wow.
Here's the KO in slow motion.
In the main event of the evening, Vasyl Lomachenko unified the lightweight division in only his 13th fight on Saturday night but we've got to talk about the grit and determination of his opponent, Jose Pedraza,.

In a dominant win, Lomachenko looked dominant throughout and eventually became the pound-for-pound king at Madison Square Garden by unanimous decision but many praised the courage of Pedraza.
The Puerto Rican fighter somehow survived an incredible onslaught of power-punches in the 11th.
To be honest, we're still not sure how he managed to complete all 12 rounds after this incredible 11th from the Ukrainian, but here we go. What a chin!

You've also got to praise the work ethic of Lomachenko, who somehow doesn't punch himself out after a minute of incredible combinations and power shots.
He might have knocked Pedraza down twice in the 11th but he couldn't finish with a KO, something that many praised during and after the bout in New York
What a card!
