Jamaican boxer, Jerone ‘Beast’ Ennis, delivered a dominant performance at the Pickering Casino Resort, by knocking out his Argentine opponent Marcelo Adrian Fernandez at the one minute and 51 seconds of the first round of their scheduled four round contest in the light-heavyweight division, on the weekend.
The two-time Caribbean Amateur Champion pedigree was on notice early in the fight with a display of poise, ring intelligence and skills.
After displaying superior technique and ring generalship early in the round, Ennis then demonstrated to Fernandez that he has other dimensions to his game, an overhand-right was the beginning of trouble for Fernandez that sent him crashing to the canvas.
The Argentine beat the referee’s 10, count only to be overwhelmed with a relentless barrage of stance switching, overhand-rights and lead left hooks which culminated in a TKO victory for Ennis.
Ennis became the first boxer to stop Marcelo Adrian Fernandez in the first round of any fight.
