Krzysztof Glowacki scored a stunning knockout from his back to win his MMA debut
The Pole was last seen in the ring against Britain’s Richard Riakporhe, losing in January.
His next fight would be a shock switch to the cage under Polish promotion KSW.
And Glowacki, 36, won it with a rare KO after he was laid on his back on the floor with opponent Patryk Tolkaczewski reining down punches.
But the boxer out of nowhere landed a left hand which caught Tolkaczewski on the chin.
He was out for the count before Glowacki could land any ground and pound with the referee jumping in just in time.
Fans were left awestruck at the way Glowacki managed to land the KO shot from his back.
One said: “How has he got that much power down on his back like that. Epic shot.”
Another added: “This honestly might be the first time I’ve ever seen this.”
One wrote: “Most insane KO I’ve seen in a long time. Wow.”
Another posted: “A KO while being fully mounted is insane and rare as f***.”
On the same night, heavyweight boxer Artur Szpilka – once KO’d by Deontay Wilder – stopped strongman-turned MMA star Mariusz Pudzianowski.

Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches require more strength than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. One combination can have many parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. Boxers have many stances to choose from. These are some of our most favorite:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Spares
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring is a training session that helps a boxer train his mind and body. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
