~ Alfonso Frazer Crushes Argentinian 'Quito' Corradi In 3 ~

In a 10-Round 'non-title' bout, WBA Light-Welterweight Champion - Alfonso Frazer of Panama scored a 'crushing'
3rd-Round Knockout over Argentinian - Juan Domingo Corradi.

The 5' 8" Frazer at {141 lbs.} had > height, strength and power over the 5' 6" Corradi who came in at {137 lbs.}.

The Panamanian circled and boxed during the first 2-Rounds, as the technical boxing Argentinian attempted to get
inside and close. Corradi held his own, and managed to avoid Frazer's long arm punches while jabbing with straight
lefts.

But in Round 3, Frazer caught Corradi with a 'left-right' to the chin, that had the Argentinian backing away at the
{1:00 Mark}.

Frazer then went on the full-offensive, and hammered Corradi with a series of 'left-right' punches to the head that
dropped his dazed opponent at the {1:37 Mark}.

The Argentinian was up at the '6-Count', and wanted to continue. Corradi was able to fend of the fast-swinging
Frazer for another 40-Seconds, before getting tagged with an 'overhand-right' to the jaw which put him down on
his back, where he was counted out at {2:41} of Round 3.
