In the evening’s opening bout between debuting boxers, Jee “Mega Boy” Kim 119 lbs. of Los Angeles, CA won by KO over Joseph Veloz 129 lbs. of El Paso, TX. Although there was a ten pound difference on the scales it appeared the muscular Veloz enjoyed a twenty pound advantage after re-hydrating. That is why I strongly favor same day weigh-ins. When the opening bell rang Kim acted as if he couldn’t have cared less if Veloz had a fifty pound weight advantage. For a debuting boxer Kim looked very polished, working behind a jab that allowed him to control the action most of the round. Veloz was a live opponent who landed some solid shots, but the LA import showed no reaction when hit. In the second round Kim landed a solid left hook to the liver ending things for the night. Veloz lay on the canvas, his back in pain from Kim’s devastating shot to the liver. The time of the knockout was 1:43. I shouldn’t go overboard based on one fight, but Jee “Mega Boy” Kim might be the complete package. Reported at ringside by Austin Killeen.
