Poor kid was 185 pounds against Goodrich's 258. That whole card was called David vs Goliath and pitted small guys versus big guys. Good old days without weigh classes ! Brutal KO. It's so funny how Goodridge was given some 4th degree black belt just to wear that robe of theirs!
Goodridge was an arm wrestler back then. He was told about Herrera being part of Tank Abbott's group that jumped Patrick Smith in an elevator, so he had that rolling in the back of his mind when he fought Paul Herrera. The result was one of the most brutal KOs of all-time.
I think Herrera was a D1 wrestler and I had always thought that a D1 wrestler would beat a karate guy in a fight almost every time. So I was expecting Herrera to win that fight. Let's just say that I modified my thinking after that fight, haha.
goodridge's discipline was called kuk sool won, a korean hybrid martial art that i've never even heard of.
Well come on. Herrera wrestled at Nebraska but at 142 pounds. And he was average. But it doesn't matter. The dude gave up 60 pounds to Goodridge. That's tough even for the best wrestler. It's like putting an average version of Ben Askren in against Cheick Kongo and being shocked that Askren doesn't out wrestle him.
