Joe Rogan Makes His Pick for the ‘Most Impressive’ Knockout Artist in Boxing History

Published 10/18/2022, 7:10 AM EDT

Joe Rogan, although he is famously linked to MMA, is a massive combat sports fan in general. The UFC commentator’s love was displayed when he was recently spotted at three different combat sports events on the same night.

It’s now popularly known as the ‘Combat Sports Trifecta’ after he took to Instagram to announce this feat. However, for those events that the podcaster fails to attend, his social media makes it up to let the fans know what he thought about the fights.

Of late, fans experienced the same when Rogan uploaded a clip from the closing ends of the Deontay Wilder vs. Robert Helenius fight.

Joe Rogan was in awe of Deontay Wilder’s power

Rogan took to his Instagram to post the knockout sequence, where Wilder, with a single punch, knocks out Helenius in the very first round. Furthermore, the power of the ‘bronze bomber’ was so devastating that the knockout came after a strike that did not appear to land that cleanly.

Rogan pointed out the same in his caption of the post. Moreover, he was in awe of Wilder’s power. The 55-year-old wrote, “It’s absolutely f**king amazing the power that @bronzebomber can generate. He’s truly unlike anyone I’ve ever seen in the history of the heavyweight division. You can make no mistakes with this man.”

Meanwhile, the comedian also called the American boxer an anomaly further in the caption. He said, “There have been many incredible KO artists in the history of boxing, but for my money, he’s the most impressive. If you look at this punch, it wasn’t even with full leverage and his opponent instantly shuts off.”

Rogan concluded by mentioning the words of famous MMA coach Firas Zahabi, who calls Wilders’s power, “the touch of death.”

Nevertheless, with this flawless performance, the boxer has made a solid comeback. It would be interesting to see who he fights next. Moreover, fans would be excited to see him make a quick turnaround.
