The fight was a real show of striking, with both fighters showing off their skills and looking for the decisive blow. Thompson, known for his precision and technique, dominated the first few minutes with a combination of kicks and quick strikes.
However, Buckley, with his brute strength and aggression, managed to turn the situation around and land the blow that changed the course of the fight. The 'Wonderboy' was knocked out for the second time in his career, four years after suffering the same outcome against Anthony Pettis.
With this result, Joaquin has solidified his position as one of the top fighters in the welterweight division. The American, who now has 14 knockout victories in his career, should climb a few positions in the rankings and get closer to the top 5 in the category. After the fight, Buckley challenged the former champion Kamaru Usman.
