The world champion lost the main fight and was stripped of his title – Boxing/MMA
In the arena Coliseo Roberto Clemente V San Juan (Puerto Rico)) in the main fight of the card, world champion according to IBF super lightweight (up to 63.5 kg) Australian Liam Paro (25-1, 15 KOs) lost to the American Richardson Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs), Sports.kz reports with reference to vRINGe.com.
Paro knows that the main task is not to allow Hitchins to control the distance with his jab and set the pace of the fight. He slowly presses on, confusing you with the angles of his attacks. The challenger looks too passive at the start of the fight. The American spent the second three-minute period much better. He caught the rhythm and distance, knocked down his opponent’s attacks well with jabs and crosses, and confidently controls all the champion’s movements.
Again Paro is a little better. Caught Hitchins in an unbalanced state, but he resisted…
