Philadelphia, Penn. / ORANGE, Calif. (Hōngongoi 23, 2018) – Junior lightweight Michael Dutchover (10-0, 7 Koó), captivated a sold-out crowd with an electrifying one-punch knockout of Sergio Ramirez (4-3, 4 Koó) Rāmerenight from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif.
The closeout punch, a right hand on Ramirez’s chin, occurred at the :43 tohu o te tuarua a tawhio.
“I timed it just right,” said the 20-year-old Dutchover. “He came at me with a lazy punch, and I just unloaded that right hand, and he dropped like a fly.”
Dutchover barely broke a sweat in his tenth career win. The Texas native, who conducts his training camps in Los Angeles with trainer and manager Danny Zamora, made his 8-round debut, but clearly didn’t need the rounds to score what is likely his most emphatic win to date.
“You go into every fight expecting a tough challenge,” Dutchover said. “I was ready to go the full eight rounds, but I’m glad I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”
Dutchover is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.
