Darren Till Absolutely Wrecks Luke Rockhold with Insane KO
Misfits Boxing 22: Ring of Thrones at the AO Arena in Manchester gave fans a night to remember, but the main event stole the show. Darren Till absolutely wrecked Luke Rockhold with a third-round knockout so violent it’s already being called one of the most savage finishes in Misfits Boxing history.
The Fight
Luke Rockhold started strong, using his size and jab to control the opening exchanges. But late in the first round, Till turned the tide with a thunderous overhand left that dropped Rockhold hard to the canvas. The moment shifted momentum instantly, and Rockhold never fully recovered.

In round two, Till’s pressure continued to overwhelm. He landed another huge shot that dropped Rockhold again, even though the referee didn’t register it as a knockdown. Rockhold stumbled around the ring, clearly rocked, and even wandered to the wrong corner as the bell sounded — a sign the end was near.
The finish came early in round three. Sensing his opponent fading, Till poured on the pressure, backing Rockhold into the ropes. Then came the final blow: a devastating left hand that folded Rockhold through the ropes and left him unconscious. The referee waved it off at 1:08 of round three, sealing Till’s insane KO win.
Aftermath
With the victory, Darren Till stays unbeaten in professional boxing (3-0, 2 KOs) and captures the inaugural Misfits Bridgerweight Championship. Confident and fired up, Till immediately set his sights on bigger names, even calling out former boxing great Carl Froch, who was watching ringside.
For Rockhold, the loss was crushing. Making his pro boxing debut at age 40, the former UFC champion now faces tough questions about his future in combat sports after being wrecked in such brutal fashion.
The Reaction
The knockout instantly went viral, with fans and fellow fighters posting stunned reactions. Many praised Till’s ruthless finishing instinct while expressing concern for Rockhold, who looked badly hurt. Some analysts even labeled it the scariest KO seen in the boxing ring this year.
