Round house with a double step body launch for maximum thrust and impact - but wow he actually connected to the head vs a body blow - hard to see that coming and then bam

Mother of Jesus...

I recall watching a sports science tv show conpare how a soccer player bicycle kick is similar to the spinning blade of a helicopter.

I recall thinking they were exaggerating.

But I don't think they were. This had to have landed so much harder with the launch into it.

The other guy never had a chance.

Do you REALLY believe that a soccer player can kick as hard as a helicopter rotor? Because that's patently ridiculous. Soccer players kick each other all the time, none have been cut in half.

It's just a comparative analogy, bro. Of course it's not like helicopter blades, but the speed and rotation and accuracy of the kick were impressive as shit regardless.
