Ben Rothwell wasted no time during his first bout with bare-knuckles.
Rothwell was promoted on Saturday, when he faced Bobo O’Bannon in the co-main BKFC 30 event at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum, Monroe, La.
Rothwell stated clearly that he wanted to make the heavyweight division pay attention before stepping into the fight. “The King of Kenosha”, however, did exactly that and destroyed O’Bannon in 19 secs.
Rothwell charged across O’Bannon’s ring right at the opening bell. He fired combinations, and O’Bannon responded fire. That turned out to be a bad choice though, as Rothwell clipped him with a right hand and then a vicious uppercut that sent O’Bannon tumbling to the canvas, where he was unable to make the 10 count.
After the fight, Rothwell again repeated his warning to the rest of the heavyweight division that he has arrived.
Check out Rothwell’s outstanding debut performance.
