As you know, we live in an era where everything gets caught on camera. Any illusion of privacy is shattered the moment you log onto the social media of your choice. If you run a red light, you risk getting a ticket. If you tip poorly, you risk getting put on blast on Reddit. If you slip on ice, smash your head in and die, you risk being caught on a cell phone cam and put onto YouTube as an "Epic FAIL!!!!!!"
Fighting is no exception. And after witnessing this collection of videos you're free to come to your own conclusions about the state of society. There have been a whole bunch of stories and speculation on a so-called "Knockout," game. We'll leave that speculation up to the professional speculators, an industry with no shortage in the U.S. We're not saying they're all good (or bad, to be honest) but we know you need a break from your work day monotony. Here's the Most Brutal Amateur Knockouts Caught on Tape.

If Usain Bolt were a fist.
"Didn't hurt."
Arbor Day.
George of the concrete Jungle.
This is what happens when you take dodgeball out of school.
An unintended consequence of taking the release of male aggression away.
No idea what they're saying...
...but it's probably something along the lines of "dude is getting fucked up."
Where are the park district cops?
Be warned: Five minutes of World Star fame isn't worth a videotaped felony.
Son beats up mother's boyfriend.
Some of these videos just warm your heart.
"He just dropped the big dude."
When beer pong goes wrong.
We need context.
Nobody seems to be real broken up that a dude just got his snot box busted in the middle of dinner.
Good samaritan tries to break up fight (keep your eye on the cowboy hat).
It's hard to learn from your mistakes when you can't remember them.
Mom saves son, leaves attacker in middle of road.
There were no winners here.
Prison nose break (or...something like that).
Think about this the next time you visit BitTorrent..
Somebody get that man to the hospital.
Or the aquarium or whatever.
Modern family.
Backstory: Stepbrother knocks out YouTube poster's dad.
That awkward moment when a human circle forms around you, and everyone chants "Fight, fight!"
Followed by that awkward moment when you get home and see it on YouTube.
Alleged "Knockout Game" backfires badly.
Every once in awhile it's nice to see somebody get virally embarrassed lit the fuck up by a woman, who actually deserves it.
They tape fights in Australia too.
It's nice to see a bully get what he deserves, but why the sudden realization of the size difference? It's like Jonathan Martin being bullied by Darren Sproles.
Anyway, here's the follow-up interview of the bullied. As well as the follow-up interview of the bully.
Kimbo Slice's glory days.
Kimbo's short time in the professional MMA ranks were less successful. But to think that he'd dominate at that level is like thinking that a rec-league stud could get minutes in the NBA. Or, that a shutdown flag football corner could cover an NFL wideout. Or...you get the point. EliteXC (Kimbo's league) folded soon after. As for Kimbo, he became a professional boxer and is currently 7-0 against seven guys we've never heard of.
Sharkeisha blindsides "friend," gets viral infamy.
Possibly one of the biggest lost causes in the history of the internet pulled this sneak attack "over a boy." Unless Bad Girls Club bails her out (which they may) she's headed down the road of an incredibly shitty (and well deserved) life.
Sharkeisha's dad "Whaleandre."
We haven't actually verified that this is Sharkeisha's dad. But, we can definitely see the resemblance.
Kanye West lookalike drops two paparazzo.
If this really were Kanye it'd be the most justified act on here.
