Barbados’s Keithland King’s pre-fight boast of a second round stoppage came to fruition on Saturday night on the main event of the ‘Young Guns-The Proving Ground’ card.
In front of a fair sized crowd at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, King backed up his prediction as his gassed opponent Derick Richmond was dispatched after just six minutes of action.
After a round of feeling each other out, the pace picked up significantly in the second as the orthodox counter puncher asserted himself, got his timing right and peppered Richmond with powerful jabs and right hands.
