<ul class="summary-list"><li>A fight photographer may have rescued a boxer from suffering a concussion.</li><li>Super flyweight Jan Salvatierra had already been sent flying through the ropes in a Saturday bout.</li></ul>A photographer stopped working a fight event Saturday so he could help a boxer who had literally been beaten out of the ring.It happened during John Ramirez and Jan Salvatierra's super flyweight bout in California's Toyota Arena, at a Golden Boy Promotions boxing show broadcast on DAZN.Heavy-hitting Ramirez won by first-round knockout after sending Salvatierra flying through the ropes.The fight-finishing flurry had clearly dazed Salvatierra, and if not for a quick-thinking photographer who was shooting the action from the ring apron, things could have been far worse.Video footage appears to show the photographer manage to cradle his hand on the back of Salvatierra's head, which prevented the fighter from hitting the hard floor.This action likely rescued Salvatierra from further injury.Though Salvatierra can be seen returning to the ring, it was deemed too little, too late, as the referee called time on the action, and awarded Ramirez the win.Watch the knockout, and the photographer in action, right here:John Ramirez, who advanced his undefeated pro <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/boxing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> record to 10 wins (eight knockouts) with the victory, said his opponent "made a mistake, and he had to pay" because "he was not on my level."The 25-year-old has never fought beyond a regional level in combat <keyword id="11893855" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports" source="Orion">sports</keyword> but used his time in the spotlight to challenge one of his division's world title holders."I want to fight the best out there, I don't care," Ramirez added. "How can you be the best if you don't face the best out there?"In the main event, Gilberto Ramirez maintained his winning run with a knockout over Dominic Boesel.

"That's my position that we were working with — the front headlock. It's amazing to see it work."He then said he'd like to fight Gerald Meerschaert at the UFC's next pay-per-view show — UFC 275 on June 9 in Singapore.Watch Petroski's brutal but brilliant finish right here:With the victory, Petroski advanced his pro MMA record to eight wins (four knockouts and four submissions) against one loss — a 2020 defeat to Aaron Jeffery at LFA 93, mere months before he signed to the market-leading MMA promotion UFC.He has since gone on a three-fight winning run and is unbeaten in UFC competition.He inflicted <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-yaozong-absorbed-abject-punishment-in-ufc267-loss-to-petroski-2021-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a lot of damage on Hu Yaozong at an event Insider attended on Fight Island last year, and then called ultimate fighting </a>"the greatest job in the world."Petroski and Maximov opened the UFC's 54th event at its own TV studio called Apex.Jan Blachowicz and Aleksandar Rakic headline the card, which was broadcast in its entirety on ESPN+.

Johnson hit Patrick with counter shots, inside leg kicks, and eye-catching punch flurries.A four-punch combo, a left hook, and then two afters when Patrick looked beaten and defenseless sealed the result.Watch the knockout win right here:Victory advanced Johnson's pro <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA</a> record to 20 wins (nine knockouts, two submissions, and nine decisions) against 17 losses.Notably, it bucked a four-fight losing run as the win over Patrick was his first since a 2018 decision against Artem Lobov at a UFC Fight Night event in Canada."The journey was rough, rough and tough," Johnson said, referencing his losing run in a post-fight statement to the UFC commentator and former champion Michael Bisping."I was in a dark place and a dark hole. I saw some light and I got out of that dark hole."Earlier on the card, surging American MMA fighter <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-andre-petroski-chokes-nick-maximov-unconscious-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andre Petroski sent Nick Maximov to sleep with a nasty chokehold</a> after just 76 seconds.Viviane Araujo romped to a bruising UFC win after a first-round kick that could have taken her head off.The Brazilian fighter's win was overshadowed, though, when her opponent Andrea Lee's cornerman <a href="https://www.insider.com/viviane-araujo-recovered-from-devastating-head-kick-to-win-ufc-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tony Kelley could be heard saying: "That's what they're going to do, they're dirty fucking Brazilians.</a>"They're going to fucking cheat like that," Kelley added.The comments were heard during the live ESPN+ broadcast.Prominent light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz and Aleksandar Rakic competed in the main event.

It's a little bit better today."Detailing the injuries he's sustained this time, Smith said: "There's an occult fracture on my fibula head so that's cool."It sounds bad but it's not a huge deal actually. It's four to six weeks [recovery then] it will be fine. But yeah, that's how my leg is."The leg kicks were Smith's downfall, he said."Had I not had the leg damage, I would have changed my game plan and just said alright we're just going to stand in this boxing range and we're going to f------ go to town here … but I couldn't take one more leg kick."Smith lost a unanimous decision.Defeat saw his record fall to 33 wins (18 knockouts, 12 submissions, two decisions, and one unknown) against 16 losses.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/video-william-knights-merciless-striking-scoops-instant-ufc-contract-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An American striker is 1 of 3 fighters rewarded with an instant UFC contract during 'Dana White's Contender Series' on Tuesday</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/marlon-chito-vera-kicked-sean-omalley-so-hard-he-quit-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marlon Vera is moving on to a big, bantamweight match after kicking the UFC prospect Sean O'Malley so hard 'he quit'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/jorge-masvidal-has-been-challenged-to-an-internet-street-fight-2020-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jorge Masvidal has been challenged to an internet street-fight — the kind which made him a cult hero in the first place</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/daniel-cormier-was-taken-to-hospital-after-ufc-252-defeat-2020-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Cormier was taken to hospital after he was eye-poked so hard he couldn't see out of it during his UFC loss to Stipe Miocic</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/khabib-nurmagomedov-would-be-glad-to-fight-conor-mcgregor-2020-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khabib Nurmagomedov says he would happily fight Conor McGregor again in one of the biggest UFC bouts of all time</a>
