Anthony Pettis shocked the crowd with a superman punch KO to defeat Wonderboy!
Pettis had his hands up and came forward the whole fight, something we haven’t seen him do. When asked post fight about his new style, he said it was all to put on a great show for the fans. Although Pettis kept moving forward, it was Thompson who was landing the better shots. He connected several times and bloodied Pettis’ face. Pettis closed the round with a good right hand!
Round two was more of the same, Pettis moving forward but Thompson landing more accurately. Thompson kept him at distance with his kicks which opened up the shots down the pipe with his hands. It looked like it was going to be another round for Thompson, but out of nowhere Pettis takes a step back and then springs forward with a superman punch, it sends Wonderboy to the canvas, his head bounced off the canvas and Pettis follows it up with two more punches to a already unconscious Thompson. The fight is over at 4:55 of the second round!
