Raymond Serrano, 7-0 (5), Star Boxing's 19 year old welterweight phenomenon, scored a first round knockout over veteran Jimmy LeBlanc, 11-15-4 (3), on Friday night at the New Alhambra in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Serrano came out very aggressive and started landing big shots against and seemed to be on a completely different level then the much more experienced LeBlanc as he continuously teed off on his opponent with huge over hand rights.
Serrano dropped LeBlanc hree times before the referee called a halt to the contest at 2:37 of the very first round.
"I felt great coming in," said Serrano. "He was looking to box, so I knew right away I was going to have to put a lot of pressure on him. I knew after I hit him with the first big right hand that it would only be a matter of time before I stopped him.
"It was great fighting here in Philadelphia, and I want to thank everyone who came out to see me tonight. I am going to enjoy the holiday weekend and then I will be back in the gym on Wednesday. I am looking to fight hopefully at the end of September maybe early October, whatever my promoter Joe DeGuardia and Star Boxing put together for me I will be ready to go."
Serrano improves his record to 7-0 with 5 knockouts.
