A nasty knockout from a Muay Thai event Friday shows how destructive a well-timed elbow to the temple can be.
The bout was contested by Kaiwantae Kiatchatchai of Thailand and Ali Said of Tunisia, and was finished early because Kiatchatchai disguised an elbow behind feints with his feet.
As Said appeared to be preparing for Kaitchatchai to throw a kick, the Thai fighter took a step forward and separated Said from his senses by cracking the tip of his elbow onto the side of his opponent's head.
Said was out cold in an instant and fell to the floor, with his body stiff after being rendered unconscious.
The fight took place at the Dr. Knot Muay Thai show in Thailand.
