A BOXER'S body "malfunctioned" as he was battered by a barrage of punches.<\/p>\n
But he then appeared to start celebrating in worrying scenes on the Jake Paul undercard.<\/p>\n

Paul beat fellow American Andre August with a first-round knockout in Orlando on Friday night.<\/p>\n
But during the build-up to the main event, Joshua Temple was stopped by 19-year-old Lorenzo Medina in round six. <\/p>\n
And it left commentators and fans alike concerned for the defeated fighter's welfare.<\/p>\n
Medina – who had an awkward rip in the back of his shorts – went on the offensive in the sixth round and delivered a crushing right hand.<\/p>\n

And the heavy impact clearly took an immediate toll on Temple.<\/p>\n
His body wobbled and he appeared to lose control of his arms momentarily.<\/p>\n
One boxing commentator said: "His body's malfunctioning."<\/p>\n
And as he stumbled backwards towards the ropes, Medina pounced and unleashed a brutal series of powerful hits with his opponent unable to defend himself.<\/p>\n

So referee Christopher Young waved it off and extended Medina's flawless record to 9-0 with eight by knockout. <\/p>\n
However, moments later, Temple raised his red gloves – seemingly thinking he had been victorious despite the relentless pounding to his head. <\/p>\n
The commentator added: "Temple doesn't know where he is.<\/p>\n
"Temple is completely out, he thinks that he has won the fight."<\/p>\n
Fans also expressed their fears for the 31-year-old from Missouri.<\/p>\n
One said: "What was Temple doing afterwards? Looked like he was concussed."<\/p>\n
Medina – who thanked his opponent's wife for her alleged motivation – said: "Temple f***ing sucked.<\/p>\n
"I thought he was fighting his own battle in his head.<\/p>\n
"He was scared from the first moment I saw him, he couldn't even look at me in the eyes in the entire time we were weighing in or backstage.<\/p>\n

"I think he was trying to convince himself he was good enough to be in the ring with me, but obviously he wasn't as you guys can tell."<\/p>\n
There was another crushing knockout on the undercard when Cubans Yoenis Tellez "shut Livan Navarro down like a Macbook" with a perfect left hook.<\/p>\n
