Mike ~
Can't add much to the great answers above me or below, but there's on fighter who holds the distinct honor of being knocked out on every continent except the North Pole. A Fighter that has been knocked out more than any other fighter and the losing participant in the worlds shortest fight - 11 seconds, counting the 10 count. Bruce "The Mouse" Strauss.
Thanks for the question Mike.
