TOLEDO, OH (Juni 25, 2015)–This past Saturday night at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., top lightweight prospect SONNY FREDRICKSON (9-0, 6 KO s) had to dig down deep and get up from the canvas on his way to stopping tough 29-fight veteran Juan Santiago in the second round of their scheduled six-round bout which took place on the Andre Ward vs. Paul Smith undercard.

Fredrickson dominated the first round and it was looking like an easy night as he scored a knockdown at the end of the frame. As Fredrickson went in for the finish, he was a little careless and got caught with a perfect counterpunch that sent him the canvas for the first time as a pro or amateur.

Fredrickson viste løse av en mester i å gjøre, came back in round two and landed some booming shots that hurt Santiago and the fight was rightfully waved off.

“Det var en flott erfaring,” sa Fredrickson av den første
round knockdown. “Santiago var tøft, I got a little reckless and paid the price. Selv en såret motstander er stilldangerous, så jeg vil definitivt ta denne leksjonen til hjerte til å gjøre meg abetter fighter.”

“Jeg er fornøyd med seier og for å gi fansen et spennende show. I’m going to get right back in the gym and look forward to fighting again very soon.
