In the present day is in fact Saint Patrick’s Day, this an enormous occasion in Eire. And final evening in New York, Irish super-welterweight Callum Smith gave his countrymen and ladies one thing to cheer about, this as he iced Dean Sutherland of Scotland in a spherical. Cork Southpaw Walsh, combating on the Theatre at Madison Sq. Backyard, blasted Sutherland with a brutal proper hook to the top and the stricken fighter’s physique folded as he crashed down and out.
The top got here at 2:45 of spherical one.
Walsh, a real puncher, at the very least to this point in his professional profession, is now 13-0(11). Sutherland falls to 19-2(7).
Now, Walsh, skilled by the nice Freddie Roach, was totally anticipated to win final evening’s battle, however it was the way in which he gained that was so spectacular. Walsh – who’s promoted by Tom Loeffler and has Dana White trying to do massive issues with him (UFC large White to get into boxing in an enormous method quickly, this courtesy of his new working relationship with Turki Alalshikh) – now lives in Los Angeles and he has gained his final 4 fights by KO.
Walsh, at age 24, actually is likely one of the hottest younger fighters/punchers on the market proper now.
“You’re by no means going to beat the Irish,” a victorious Walsh stated final evening. “I’m feeling superb. Dean Sutherland is an excellent opponent. I knew he was going to be harmful. That was my greatest opponent. I’m trying ahead to the long run. I’m getting stronger and stronger. Anybody that involves me I’ll take him out.”
Will probably be fascinating to see who Walsh is matched up with in his subsequent battle. The present 154 pound division has some nice fighters working, corresponding to Vergil Ortiz, Sebastian Fundora, Israil Madrimov, Serhii Bohachuk, and Tim Tszyu.
