Brutal knockout for Ben Whittaker (VIDEO)

Ben Whittaker ended with a knockout of Benjamin Gavazzi in the first round in his debut for Matchroom in Birmingham, reports sportal.bg. Unlike other fights, the 28-year-old Briton was calm, concentrated and when the moment for the knockout came - merciless.

At the beginning of the fight, the German gained confidence because he was receiving few blows and began to attack recklessly. At the right moment, Whittaker escaped with a feint, and when Gavazzi rushed forward again, Whittaker hit a left to the body, then switched to an attack to the head, knocking him to the ground with a heavy right hook.

Gavazzi stood up, but Whittaker immediately increased the pressure. The moment Gavazzi raised his head, Whittaker sent two more hooks, the last one hitting straight into his chin. Gavazzi was unconscious before he hit the floor, rolling backwards as his head hit the ring hard.

Whittaker may be a superstar in the making, but he has tougher tests ahead of him in the upcoming fights. The light heavyweight division is one of the fiercest in boxing, and his record is already 10-0-1 (7 KOs), boxingscene.com notes.
