Gaining mainstream recognition is one of the many goals for any fighter. But I’m pretty sure this wasn’t what Shawn Parker and Tyler Bryan had in mind.
You’ve likely seen this clip a ton of times when it first went around the interweb 12 years ago. It started out like any normal bout, with the two fighters throwing one kick apiece to feel each other out. Then the unforeseen happened.
In a serendipitous turn of events, the right hooks they simultaneously threw landed squarely on the button. Both Parker and Bryan dropped to the mat like a pair of logs, much to the delight of the small but frenzied crowd at the 8 Seconds Saloon in Indianapolis.
