Light heavyweight Bektemir Melikuziev, 5-0, 4 KO’s, had absolutely no problem destroying Oscar Cortes, 27-6, 14 KO’s, in a round where it appeared that Cortes did not even throw a punch. BEK was on a seek and destroy mission and the competition was very weak. Cortes took the fight on a week’s notice and was very soft and timid in the ring.
A left hook that missed was followed by a straight right that immediately put Cortes down. He would get up and run for his life, but a hard left to the body would put him down for good. BEK is looking for a title shot this year and he is definitely a guy to watch in the light heavyweight division.
