The best part is the blank look on the Greek guy's face. Of all the things I thought I would see someone get knocked out by...I never thought it would be a small jumping dude on the defensive...

The announcer with a lisp commenting on a full contact sport is funny too...

Love how they just leave their arms hanging at their sides.

There's an even better video on you tube of a match between someone trained in tae kwon do and someone trained in something more traditional (the video said karate...vague, huh?). Anyway, it was really funny because the "karate" guy kept his guard up...blocked every kick, and eventually wore the tae kwon do guy out with punches to the body. Before the kicker collapsed to the floor he tries to kick the "karate" guy and get get his foot higher than the other guy's knee.

Also, please note I understand my poor use of pronouns in the above passage makes it almost unintelligible...but I'm tired and can't think of what else to call the two of them.

You're always tired. You're Adam. It comes with the territory.

There's a really funny match on Youtube, from a TKD tournament. It's in Korea, I think, and the victor gets booed because he KOs the other guy with a punch to the head about 15s into the fight.
