When welterweight boxers Bob Roberts of Nigeria and Teddy Barker of England clashed in Maesteg, Wales, it turned out to be a very brief encounter.
No sooner had the bell sounded than Roberts shot out of his corner. As Barker came in, Roberts swung a wild right. Barker ducked and came up with a short right that found its mark on Roberts’ chin.
Roberts went down, but he got up almost immediately. However, the referee saw that Roberts was completely dazed–in boxing jargon, he was “out on his feet.” The referee stopped the bout and awarded it to Barker on a technical knockout.
From the opening bell to the end of hostilities, only 10 seconds had passed. It was the shortest fight on record.

OFF TOPIC
hey butcher, I went to the store that sells the 505 and they didn’t have the green chile but they had the red chile and I got that. is this and flour tortillas ok for your green chile chicken enciladas recipe?
So, red Chile is a definite winner for New Mexican food. If you have flour tortillas then you’re better off making them as chicken burritos. Don’t fry the tortillas. Just nuke them for about 10 seconds to soften them up so they don’t tear when you roll them up. Skip the egg.
thanks butcher
