ESPN, Yahir Reyes spinning backfist KO on Estevan Payan. Fast and came from no where.

Just goes to show you doing the unexpected can pay dividends.

He hit him spot on and the guy didn't see it coming (and that is why doing the unexpected works.) If it had been a conventional jab, or cross, he would have bobed or weaved or blocked. But that oblique move threw him off and he just walked into it.

Lesson to learn. Practice unusual attacks and practice them well.

My issue with this is that the guy that performed the backfist, although it worked, should have lost the fight the moment he made the step to set it up. As Deaf Smith says, the guy just walked into it. But if the guy just had his hands up like he should have the strike would have been blocked. I don't credit the fighter who performed the back fist as much as I credit the guy who stuck his chin out and waited to get clocked. I would suggest training your basics more then "the unexpected" because the fundamental most basic basic is you barrier...keeping your hands up. If the man just keep his hands up the man may have broke his arm when he threw the backfist or he should have at least caught a punch to the kidney. I know it happens quickly but man...just keep your hands up and the fight should have ended very differently.

OK, I can't be the only one to see the thread title and think "Great Spinning Backfist!" sounded like a PERFECT one of those "comic book hero cuss-word alternatives".

Or can I?

More of a spinning forearm than a spinning backfist...But it did the job.
