The streak lives on. Fourteen opponents, 14 first-round knockouts.
Edgar Berlanga stopped Eric Moon 1 minute, 2 seconds into a scheduled eight-round super middleweight bout on the Oscar Valdez-Jayson Velez card Tuesday inside the bubble at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Berlanga came out patiently at the opening bell, popping a stiff jab, following with a few power shots to the head and body, waiting for an opportunity.
That came quickly. Berlanga had Moon (11-3, 6 KOs) trapped against the ropes when he landed one clubbing right hand and then followed with another, bigger right that hurt Moon, who crumpled to the canvas.
Referee Kenny Bayless recognized immediately that Moon couldn’t go on and stopped the fight.
