Boxer knocks out opponent, almost knocks himself out with celebration

That is not how you want to be known in the boxing community.

Jordan "The Terror" Tai improved his boxing record to 8-1 with a first round knockout of "Smokin'" Joe Blackbourn. However, the knockout cme later than he thought as he knocked Blackbourn to the mat and the first thing he did was go celebrate on the ropes.

That was not a good idea as he totally ate it and flipped over the ropes. He was lucky to hang on and not go flying into the crowd in New Zealand. You can witness it all for yourself in this awesome video:

Tai would go on to actually knock out Blackbourn after he got up from the mat before the count got to 10. So not only did he almost hurt himself celebrating, but Tai celebrated a knockout that never came. We need more of this in boxing.
