Barboza faced Terry Etim in a fight which saw the former exhibit excellent distance management and footwork. It was in the third round of this showdown that Barboza managed to catch his foe with a beautiful wheel kick that knocked Etim out on his feet.

The strike was so very precise and powerful that Etim was out before he hit the ground. The fight was called off, and Barboza proceeded to engage in a rather humble celebration--crediting God for helping him deliver the masterful KO.

Barboza's impeccable timing and lack of telegraph is what resulted in him being able to connect with the otherwise tough-to-pull-off wheel kick KO.
