Has Daron Cruickshank's ko been overlooked for 2012 ?

[Carl25]

Looking at the ko in realtime is quite the treat as well

 

[itheuser]

He seems to throw that kick with the least amount of effort.

 

[Ian]

Considering he's fighting Makdessi next, I'm sure Joe Silva noticed it.

 

[JxHx**]

Beautiful KO, I hope fighters will try to pull that more often.

 

[fightdonttweet]

Its not just the KO, its the fact he laid an incredible beatdown on Martinez, who seems to possess an iron chin, then finally managed to finish him off.

 

[Smeaglebutcrack**]

Yeah Cruikshank is a new favourite of mine for that technical beatdown he put on Martinez followed by that sweet KO

 

[vgmark]

That was a slugfest from what I recall, the other guy took one hell of a beating and Daron looked on point. He reminds me of a tad more powerful Martin Kampmann

 

[Emjay]

That was a bad night for Martinez

I always feel extra bad for the guys that take nut shots THEN get KOd

 

[Appylion]

insane ko

 

[Ruv]

That was an awesome fight, I'm glad I bet on Daron that night, he certainly delivered in highlight reel fashion.

Martinez took a nut shot?

 

[Emjay]

Martinez took a nut shot?

Maybe I'm thinking of another fight?

Lemme check...

Edit - Nope... Must have been thinking about another fight. Still, anybody that takes a nut shot and gets KOd has a special place in my heart, lol

 

[ViktorElias]

It's so perfect, one of my favorites. Way better than the Pettis/Lauzon one that made it in to most top ten KO-lists of the year.

 

[Cosmahorio]

I think it has been overlooked TS.

That fight, well should I say, beatdown, was awesome to watch. One of the fun fights of last yr.

 

[crazyjames1233]

i was at that fight sittin up in the nosebleeds and i heard the kick, it was awesome

 

[Non]

Martinez is a tough sob. Took a beating in that fight and that kick was the final nail in the coffin.

Brilliant finish.

 

[vuco KJV***]

That was a great fight and kudos to Cruickshank for not being a dirtbag and attacking Martinez's unconscious body.

 

[MolesyMMA]

Yes it is, as are sooo many more. It was overlooked on that card too as it didnt even get KOTN.

 

[JACKHAMMERS**]

one hopes they would not overlook a great ko & also the fact he is one classy dude he could have followed up with a devistating flying punch from the stand & chose to be one of the classiest finishes a fighter could choose . I see a fighter that others can admire & respect also would make a great CHAMPION ! one cool mofo

 

[Ironheart]

I admit I knew very little about Daron before that fight. He put a beatdown on Martinez (who proved to be VERY durable) and finished him dramatically. I'll be watching out for Cruickshank!
