Upset of the year! The undefeated boxer got up from the knockdown and won the fight with a sensational knockout. Video

French middleweight boxer Bruno Surasu (26-0-2, 5 KOs) made a huge sensation at a show in Tijuana, Mexico. The 26-year-old native of Marseille knocked out local ex-world champion Jaime Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs).

Before the fight, all bookmakers were absolutely sure that the favorite would win. Bets were accepted on Munguia's success at odds of 1.18, while the Frenchman's early success was estimated at 23.0.

The first round was a calm reconnaissance with no active action. At the end of the three minutes, the rivals got into an argument about a possible punch to the back of the head, but the fight remained under the referee's control.

In the second segment, Mungia became more active, began to put pressure on his opponent and knocked him out with a left hook. Despite the shock, Suras got up and held on until the end of the round.

The fighter from France spent most of the third round defending himself against the ropes, but at the end he was able to respond with a good combination of punches. In the fourth round, Suras unexpectedly seized the initiative, managed to land several accurate punches and showed great defense, which surprised the favorite and the audience.

Munguia seemed to underestimate his opponent's power and paid the price in the sixth round. After a powerful right hook, he was knocked down hard.

His attempts to get up did not save the situation - he looked stunned, and the referee stopped the fight.

Suras' victory by knockout in the sixth round was one of the biggest sensations of the year, and the Frenchman deservedly found himself in the spotlight of the boxing world. The Top Rank promotional company called the result of the fight the upset of the year.

For reference: An upset is an unexpected event or result that goes against forecasts and expectations, especially in sports competitions.
