In the middle bout, Avery Sparrow (2-0, 1 KO) scored an explosive 1st round stoppage over Hassan Wasswau of New York in a scheduled 4-round Jr. Lightweight bout.
Sparrow landed a crushing right hand that sent Waswau plummeting to the canvas very hard. The back of Wasswau’s head bounced off the canvas several times and he was knocked cold at 2:22 of the opening frame. Waswau had to be laid out on a stretcher.
