Although injured, Des was able to knock out his opponent after six long minutes.
Damn. That’s two whole rounds without a break.

It’s hard to know how this confrontation started but that video clearly shows two off-leash dogs chasing after the kangaroo so we might want to take his version of the story with a grain of salt.
That said, fighting a kangaroo is no joke. They’re basically a cross between a deer and a velociraptor.

It looks like the dogs are behind a fence. The human’s lucky to have won the contest; kangaroos have a mean hind legs to the chest kick.

If you watch in full screen you can clearly see the man, the kangaroo and the dogs are all on the same side of that fence in the beginning of the video. Which makes sense whether it was the dogs or the kangaroo who started it.

might remind me of an early viral about a donkey in a field with a man
with his pants down running from a possible assault… or not
Um. Do kangaroos normally harass dogs?

I lived there for a decade and never once was attacked by a kangaroo, bitten by a poisonous spider, rushed to hospital after encountering a blue-ringed octopus, stung by a jellyfish, bitten by one of the many poisonous snakes, or taken by a Great White.
Bloody miracle now that I reflect on it …

Didn’t see too much in the way of boxing there, but good to know that the time honored knock-them-down-and-sit-on-them is still a valid technique.

It looked like he was getting ready to tie me kangaroo down, sport.

The guy may have been a former boxer, but the kangaroo was clearly a bouncer.
