Unbeaten welterweight prospect Demetrius Hopkins went to 24-0-1 (10KOs) with a breathtaking ninth round KO of the very decent Michael Warrick at the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa, Atlantic City. Warrick, Wednesday night.
The nephew of former middleweight royalty Bernard Hopkins had a fight, though, as Warrick, who drops to 18-3 (11KOs) was right in the fight until a huge right cross sent him to oblivion in the ninth.
Warrick crashed to the canvas, face down, at 1:58 if the round. It took several minutes for him to regain his composure but his was fine.
Hopkins looks ready to be stepped up.
Also, former "The Contender's" villain Ishe Smith returned and hammered Patrick Thompson, winning virtually every round to take a 98-92, 99-91, 99-91decision.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jeeeeeeeeeah!!!
