Video: Fighter folded in 7 seconds by brutal punch at Fury FC 83

If you blinked during this Fury FC 83 amateur bout, it was likely over.

Amateur fighter [autotag]Shane Wright[/autotag] only needed seven seconds to pick up his second win Sunday at Fury FC 83 in Tulsa, Okla.

In a welterweight bout on the event’s preliminary card, Wright folded and finished opponent [autotag]Houston Nole[/autotag] in lightning-fast time to add an all-time highlight to his reel. A right hand started the violent beating and some ground-and-pound shots finished it.

The win snapped a two-fight losing skid for Wright, while Nole falls to 0-2 in his amateur career. Nole was knocked out in 24 seconds in his amateur debut.

Canadiens’ home crowd has mixed reactions to surprising selection of Juraj Slafkovky at No. 1 in the NHL Draft

Not exactly the warm welcome Montreal envisioned.

The 2022 NHL Draft kicked off on Thursday night in Montreal. As usual, with a glut of talented prospects, and no shortage of significant trades, the sheer spectacle of the first round was palpable.

The biggest shock of the night arguably came as soon as the draft began with the host Canadiens at No. 1 overall. Instead of taking the long-time consensus top pick in center Shane Wright, Montreal opted for, shall we say, a different direction.

The Habs picked Slovakia’s Juraj Slafkovky. He’s a talented left-winger for sure, but that doesn’t mean the home crowd at the Bell Centre had to love the pick. The fans’ chorus of emotions as the Canadiens revealed Slafkovky would be their next hopeful core piece was evident:

Oh, man. I mean, it’s not like that audience is outright jeering Slafkovky in his first NHL moment. But they’re not exactly head-over-heels elated with their reaction either.

To be fair, Canadiens fans might have had the same mixed-bag reaction regardless of who their favorite team picked. It’s the spirit of the draft, after all.
