MGM Grand, Las Vegas, USA. The grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali, American middleweight prospect (up to 72.6 kg) Nico Ali Walsh (5-0, 4 KOs) knocked out the owner of a handsome compatriot record
Alejandro Ibarru (7-2, 2 KOs).
Walsh worked through the jab, launched twos, sometimes missed the opponent’s counterattacks. It seemed that nothing incredible would happen in the opening round, and then Ali’s grandson had a two-pointer – the opponent lay flat on the canvas, the referee stopped the fight.
