Joey Spencer knocks out Isiah Seldon in first round

Joey Spencer knocked out Isiah Seldon in first round on the Caleb Plant-Caleb Truax card Saturday.

Middleweight prospect Joey Spence didn’t need much time to put Isiah Seldon away.

Spencer (12-0, 9 KOs) put Seldon (14-4-1, 5 KOs) down twice and stopped him only 2:15 into their scheduled eight-round middleweight bout on the Caleb Plant-Caleb Truax card Saturday night in Los Angeles..

Things began to unravel for Seldon, the son of former heavyweight titleholder Bruce Seldon, about a minute into the fight. He went down hard from a straight right and got up at the count of eight. He then was docked two points for punching Spencer behind the head three times during a clinch.

And, finally, he went down again from another right to the forehead. That was enough for referee Jerry Cantu, who stopped the fight.
