John Garbarino will be remembered by fans for having an epic moment yesterday night during his BKFC Knucklemania 5 match against Apostle Spencer in Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
He delivered in front of his home-town crowd, by the way it was a record setting number of fans at Saturday Night. In the final seconds of the opening round, he dropped a powerful punch that sent Spencer to the floor. He ended with the triumph, but the most epic moment happened afterwards. He invited his girlfriend into the ring to celebrate and surprise her with the proposal.
The internet immediately turned nuts with the fighter action. After the special knocked out, he gave a very emotional speech and then continue to kneel. She said yes and the whole crowd was cheering the decision.
Garbarino’s win and proposal were one of the highlights of BKFC’s KnuckleMania 5, which had an attendance of over 17 thousands. The event featured multiple memorable moments, including Jeremy Stephens’ TKO victory over Eddie Alvarez and Ben Rothwell’s heavyweight title win.

“Bare knuckle love, #Shesaidyes. Incredible John Garbarino all the way through, just wow! On the weigh-in stage with the cannoli move, to in the ring with stellar defensive work slipping and dipping under heavy attacks so beautifully, followed then by the big one-shot KO win! And then! Praise be to Jesus Christ, he proposes to his lovely woman, and now fiancée soon to be wife! That was MAGICAL John Garbarino! Bravo!”
