This nasty tornado kick knockout from Colosseum IX may take the weekend

There’s been no shortage of brutal knockouts in March. Eduard Gafencu added another one to the list today’s at Colosseum IX event.

Gafencu devastated his Thomas Doeve with a tornado kick finish in a kickboxing bout, which took place in his native Bucharest, Romania (via Twitter):

The knockout was set up with roughly 45 seconds remaining in the first round. Gafencu went airborne with the spinning, flying technique and smashed his opponent with the right leg clean across the head.

Nothing more was needed, because the Dutchamn Doeve went down in a heap and Gafencu got the knockout in spectacular, highlight-reel fashion.

Good stuff, and thanks to Caposa on Twitter for the additional details.
