Kickboxer Gets Knocked Out, Turns Into One Of The Three Stooges
We don’t know much about when or where this video was originally filmed, nor who it depicts, but we do know that this guy’s reaction to getting knocked clean out is absolutely hysterical. If fighting doesn’t work out for him, he probably can fall back on a career in hurdling....
Italian Striker Celebrates Goal With A Nice, Refreshing Beer
Empoli’s Massimo Maccarone is really old.
