Jeff Horn knocks out Anthony Mundine in the first round

[Master]

It took just one minute and 36 seconds for Jeff Horn to knock out Anthony Mundine at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

All but one fight on the undercard went the distance, but Horn got the Brisbane crowd off their feet when he sent 'Choc' into retirement in the first round.

Horn came out fast and landed a right hand early, putting the 43-year-old under pressure.



It was a left hook that ended the fight, sending Mundine to the canvas after which he couldn't beat the referee's count.

"I was expecting a tough fight, but I felt really loose at this weight," Horn said following the bout.

The Brisbane local said he didn't know if he would stay at that weight or move back to down to welterweight.

As for Mundine, he officially called it quits in his post-fight interview.

"I’ve had a great career. Jeff proved tonight that he was the better man," Mundine said. "That's the next generation, man. I pass it on to them. I was ready, I prepared well. It's boxing, sometimes you get caught."

Just watched the fight. Mundine is just so old and was getting hit cleanly right from the beginning. I wonder if Horn will just stay at 154 and see what he can do there instead of going back down to 147.

Anthony "Glass Joe" Mundine.....good lord, that punch was nothing special and he just got flattened. That AND he's Sven Ottke's A#1 highlight reel KO victim too. Dang dude, hang up the gloves.

Good on Horn but didn't think it would go that quick. Guess now that Horn cruised a middleweight CW with ease Canelo has no shortage of future possibilities.
