A boxing match ended in chaos when a debutant knocked his opponent down then kept trying to stamp on his head

• All hell broke loose during a recent boxing match in the South American nation of Bolivia.
• Pedro Tabares almost had a debut to remember when he floored the more experienced Saul Farah.
• After knocking Farah down, however, Tabares decided to try and stamp on his opponent's head.

A boxing match in Bolivia ended in turmoil when a debutant knocked his opponent down and kept trying to stamp on his head.

Pedro Tabares was disqualified for a number of flagrant rule violations, including throwing MMA-style punches to the head of his fallen opponent and trying to kick the downed fighter in the skull.

Tabares' opponent, Bolivian heavyweight Saul Farah, had a wealth of pro fighting experience behind him having fought in 101 bouts prior to the recent club fight, losing 26 of those fights.

Many of his bouts came against substandard opposition, and 18 of his 26 losses had come via knockout.

Against Tabares, who had never boxed professionally before, Farah may have been out-gunned, but as soon as the novice started kicking him, the loss was turned into a win.

Tabares was disqualified and Farah got a win on his record.

In footage of the finishing sequence, you can see Farah (in the black trunks) box with a low guard, edging forward to the muscle-clad Tabares, who boxed from the ropes and smacked Farah with a big left hand.

The shot dropped Farah in an instant but rather than wait at a neutral corner for the referee to administer the count, as is custom with the rules of boxing, Tabares pounced on Farah to engage him with ground-and-pound.

The ref did well to get Tabares off of Farah, but the boxing novice was in no mood to stop. He aimed a soccer kick at Farah's head, and stamped on him a further two times before he was eventually separated for good.

Aside from the disqualification, it is currently unclear what, if any, punishment Tabares will face. Farah, though, was able to get back to his feet quite quickly and appeared to be unfazed at the assault.
