Usually boxing preliminary cards aren’t worth paying particularly close attention to, but when a portly heavyweight gets knocked out of the ring.... well you have to at least watch that, right?

On the undercard of Friday’s Top Rank on ESPN+ show in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Joel Caudle (8-3-2, 5 KOs) fought undefeated Cassius Chaney (16-0, 10 KOs). It didn’t take long for Chaney to have Caudle on skates, as he socked his opponent repeatedly with power shots. When Caudle’s balance finally betrayed him, he went head-first out of the ring.

When you fall out of the ring on a knockdown, the fight isn’t automatically over, but instead you get a 20-count. Caudle had enough of his wits about him to get back up, re-enter the ring, and continue fighting. Unsurprisingly, Chaney hit him with a right hand that had him jelly-legged again, so the referee had no choice but to stop the fight in the opening round.
