"Took some time off his life" - Fans react to "scary" Terrence Williams KO in lopsided match that left opponent stiff on the canvas

Terrence Williams recently made headlines after securing a thunderous knockout victory over Jonathan Ariel Sosa in Florida. Williams put his opponent's lights out in a fashion that sent fans into a frenzy on social media, with many calling it a potential 'Knockout of the Year' winner.

Williams faced Sosa in a six-round welterweight contest at the ProBox TV Events Center in Plants City, Florida. The American ended the fight before the two-minute mark with two hard left hands on his opponent's chin. While the first punch stunned Sosa, the second one sent the Argentinian crashing to the canvas with his hands stiff in the air.

This prompted the referee to stop the contest and call for medical assistance. Sosa was seen receiving oxygen in the ring. He was eventually helped to his feet and walked out with assistance.

MMA-based X handle @oocmma uploaded a clip of the knockout and wrote in the caption:

"WOW, tonight we just got a scary knockout of the year contender."

Another fan speculated:

"Took some time off his life."

One boxing fan referenced Ben Askren's knockout losses and wrote:

"Got Ben Askren'ed, lol."
