Seniesa Estrada proved that lot of ugliness can be crammed into seven seconds.
The gifted, experienced pro fought Miranda Adkins, a 42-year-old who took up boxing at 39 and had only five fights against winless foes, on the Vergil Ortiz-Samuel Vargas on Friday at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.
The result on was predictable and grotesque.
Estrada walked across the ring at the opening bell, unloaded a few hard punches to the head of her utterly helpless foe and knocked her temporarily unconscious. Referee Edward Hernandez Sr. didn’t have to count over the motionless loser.
The horror show lasted seven seconds, which obviously is one of the quickest knockouts in boxing history.
Estrada (19-0, 8 KOs) was coming off a victory over U.S. Olympian Marlen Esparza in November. The junior flyweight was supposed to have fought the more-experienced Jacky Calvo but Calvo reportedly was injured and couldn’t fight. Adkins was willing … but unfortunately not able.
Many will argue that California officials and everyone else involved in making that fight should’ve known better.
