TOLEDO, OH (Junho 25, 2015)–This past Saturday night at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., top lightweight prospect SONNY FREDRICKSON (9-0, 6 KO) 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 eliminatória.

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 mostrou a determinação de um campeão na tomada, came back in round two and landed some booming shots that hurt Santiago and the fight was rightfully waved off.

“Foi uma grande experiência de aprendizagem,” disse Fredrickson do primeiro
knockdown redondo. “Santiago foi difícil, I got a little reckless and paid the price. Mesmo um adversário ferido é stilldangerous, então eu definitivamente aproveitar esta lição, para me tornar lutador cúmplice.”

“Estou feliz com a vitória e para dar aos fãs um espetáculo emocionante. I’m going to get right back in the gym and look forward to fighting again very soon.
