That time a British SAS soldier knocked out a US Recon Marine by David Choi on Aug 2, 2016, 4:43 PM Advertisement
 "It was the 90's." That's all the explanation you really need when you watch this clip of a former British SAS soldier going up against a US Recon Marine in a sensationalized "boxing" match. In 1998, an obscure company called Universal Warriors hosted the "Commando Knockout Challenge," where contestants, all of them elite servicemembers hailing from several different countries, went head-to-head in spectacular fashion. This gloriously America-themed event centered around a pentagon-shaped ring and even had its score card labeled "USA vs The World". Wearing camouflaged pants, Carl Richardson — the 5'9" and 171 pound former SAS instructor, faced against Matthew Ortiz — the US Recon Marine at 5'11" and 168 pounds. "I'm gonna bring America back to Britain and show [them] who's boss," said Richardson prior to the fight. In response, Ortiz struck back with, "We kicked the British out once — and we'll do it again." On this particular night, however, history failed to repeat itself as Richardson (wearing the red gloves) dealt Ortiz a knockout blow.
