Watch: Ramon Olivas KO’s Jovani Misael Sanchez at BKB 59 as Sanchez nearly falls out of the Trigon
The near-exit is the moment to watch. Sanchez went down close enough to the edge of BKB’s three-sided fighting enclosure that, for a moment, it looked as though he might leave it altogether. The confirmed result is a first-round KO, rather than a stoppage caused by a fighter falling out of the Trigon.

Olivas and Sanchez were fighting on the TikTok portion of the September 19 card at Auditorio Municipal. BKB 59 was the promotion’s first event in Mexico, staged in partnership with Zanfer Boxing.

It was a finish-heavy night well beyond this matchup. In the main event, Tijuana’s Julian Fernandez recovered from a first-round knockdown to stop Dan Podmore at 1:12 of round two and retain the BKB super cruiserweight title. Cecy Ulloa also won championship gold, beating Andy Nguyen by third-round TKO for the super flyweight belt. Among the other TikTok bouts, Jose Munoz knocked out Jesus Navarrete in just 17 seconds. BKB uses the Trigon rather than a conventional square ring: three sides, tighter corners and less space to move away from an opponent.
There was a sizeable difference between the two men at the weigh-in. Sanchez came in at 324.8 pounds, while Olivas weighed 263 pounds, a gap of 61.8 pounds. That did not make this a long fight. With 31 seconds left in the first round, Olivas had the knockout and his first recorded BKB finish.
His first BKB appearance ended with his hand raised and Sanchez almost on the other side of the Trigon. The result says KO; the footage is worth watching for just how close that finish came to becoming an exit, too.
