Video: Accidental KO leads to the most Irish response EVER

Keeping the boxing in the ring

Oisin Collins

This was never going to end well.

Presenting the Irish way to make sure your mate isn’t seriously injured after being knocked out…

Step 1) Punch him below the belt (a few times) to make sure he isn’t messing.
Step 2) Apologise.
Step 3) Say, “Get up. I didn’t hit you that hard”.
Step 4) Offer him a beer.

Here’s a look a what it looks like in real time…

JOE reader Stephen Morrissey sent in the clip above, which he says features two lads gearing up for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao last weekend.

They decided to have a little ‘play fight’ with each man wearing boxing gloves, but one of the lads obviously didn’t know his own strength and ended up knocking his mate to the ground with a jab to the temple.

Thankfully, the KO’ed mate in question was okay afterwards and managed to enjoy the real fight.

Just remember, lads, keep the boxing to the professionals. They’re the ones who make the big bucks at the end of the day.
