Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, California, USA. In the IBF eliminator, the favorite from the US welterweight (up to 66.7 kg) puncher Jaron Ennis (29-0, 27 KOs) knocked out Castio Clayton (19-1-1, 12 KOs) from Canada.
Ennis started the fight hard. He occupied the center of the ring, effectively, powerfully and spectacularly jabbed, at times he connected power punches, confusing him with a change of stances and floors of attacks. Clayton practically did not work in return, as he was busy defending.
In the 2nd round, Ennis still flashed the defense of the Canadian with a two. He fell heavily and with great difficulty got to his feet. For some reason, the referee asked Clayton if he was ready to continue the fight, although it was obvious that the underdog was not able to fight further.
