Drama of the Year! A native of Ukraine, Prodan, knocked out a veteran from Venezuela: video

Allianz Cloud, Milan, Italy. As part of the show from Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing) and
streaming DAZN
Ukrainian-born welterweight (up to 66.7 kg) Maksim Prodan (19-2-1, 15 KOs) playing for Italy knocked out the Venezuelan
Luis Enrique Romero (11-5-1, 7 KOs).

Ukrainian entered the ring under “Ukrainian Autumn” by Yarmak. Confidently took the center of the ring. The opponent had a huge advantage in anthropometry, which he really wanted to use: he was constantly moving, shooting a jab, trying to keep the aggressor away. Enrique Romero had a good opening round, but he clearly worked to the limit.

Apparently, the Venezuelan was prompted in the corner that such an active movement with his back forward would quickly exhaust him. The veteran tried to stay in the center of the ring, easily reading Prodan’s predictable attacks. The favorite hasn’t been successful yet. It would be very useful to be able to cut the corners of the ring and at least some kind of combinational work, and not constantly repeated attempts to tumble a two.

Sold and in the second half of the fight he tried to accidentally hit the opponent with something and rush to finish off. There were practically no successful moments, and then suddenly, seconds before the end of the 6th three-minute period, the Ukrainian knocked down the opponent with a left hook. He got to his feet and continued the fight.

In the 7th round, Prodan ran to finish off the opponent, but did not guess right – he was not shocked, and therefore caught the opened slugger. The referee saved Maxim from the delay, fixed a standing knockdown. A native of Ukraine was seriously shocked, tried to continue the fight, but fell under the distribution. The third in the ring once again tried to save the favorite with a standing knockdown, but seconds later it turned out that Prodan would no longer be able to continue the fight.

WHAT A TWIST.
