Tonight, the first televised bout of HBO Latino's "Boxeo De Oro" boxing series featured former 2004 United States Olympian "Rock" Allen, making his professional debut. Allen, who won by first round TKO, looks like a very exciting young fighter as he rushed his opponent showing an array of punches in his arsenal. Allen looked impressive as he attacked the head and the body with equal intensity. "Rock" did get hit his share of times, but took the flush shots well. It looks like Golden Boy Promotions has yet another young and exciting fighter in their stable. Allen looks like a promising young fighter and we will see how his career progresses.
Stay tuned to SaddoBoxing for more news and results from tonight's fight card at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City coming soon.
