Dejan Zlaticanin Bounces Back With First Round Destruction

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

In front of a packed house on Thursday night, DiBella Entertainment returned to B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in midtown Manhattan for its year-end "Season's Beatings" edition of Broadway Boxing. The bouts were streamed live on DiBella Entertainment's Facebook page. Broadway Boxing is presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX and Christos Steak House.

Former WBC world lightweight champion Dejan "Dynamite" Zlaticanin, 139.4 lbs., needed less than two minutes to rebound from his first pro defeat, stopping Colombian Heivinson Herrera, 137, in impressive fashion. The southpaw bobbed and weaved his way inside, saw an opening to land his overhand left and kept throwing it.

Trapping Herrera in a neutral corner, Zlaticanin unleashed a combination to send his foe to the canvas. With Herrera in obvious pain, the referee halted the action at the 1:57 mark. Zlaticanin, who was the first boxer from Montenegro to win a world title in the sweet science, improved to 23-1 (16 KOs), while Herrera fell to 22-14-1 (16 KOs).

Zlaticanin is a quality fighter. His beatdown at the hands of Mikey Garcia says far more about Garcia than about Zlat!! :OhYes:

Garcia is an effing beast at 135 lbs. No one has a chance against him there except maybe Lomachenko. Nothing wrong with losing to a fighter like that. Linares and Easter would've gone the same way.
