Said Kabil put his name in the running for the best kickboxing knockout of the year so far when he scored a sensational finish of Gary Corbett at Sunday’s Kickboxing Grand Prix event. Kalib put Corbett away in devastating fashion in their fight, which took place at The Indigo at The 02 in London, starting a gorgeous fight-ending combination with a left axe kick that instantly froze his opponent up. Corbett was out on his feet from the kick, but before he could slingshot backward into the canvas, Kalib uncorked a right cross and right uppercut followed by a punishing and entirely unnecessary left hook that turned the lights out on his opponent.
