Norman Jr. It started slowly in the first round, making some great shots of the heavy hand cuevas. In the second round, Norman Jr. The big hooks began to land on the left, shaking Cuevas.

Norman Jr. He went after Cuevas to the third round, landing a large hook on the left on the dagger that stunned the challenger. Derriek seemed to be all there after this shot. Norman JR, 24, then hit him, throwing a right hand followed by a powerful left hook, causing Cuevas to lose his foot and fall into the canvas.

Cuevas’s surrender

When Cuevas got up, he ignored the referee’s orders to turn and confront him to prove that he was ready to continue. It was as if Cuevas had thought he didn’t want to fight anymore. Headed to his corner. The referee, Thomas Taylor, stopped the fight. The weather was from 2:59 to the third.

The performance of Norman Jr. He showed that he could be the best fighter in the heavy weight division right now and too much for the other champions, Jaron “boots” ennis, Eimantas Stanionis or Mario Barrios. Norman Jr. He has too much power in his shots and would take advantage of Ennis’s fleeting defense to give him problems.

Tonight Brian Jr. It seemed little good and would not be a shock if the ennis boots promoter, Eddie Hearn, by Matchroom Lowball offers for a unified struggle.

This is a tactical way that promoters make other fighters know that they are not interested in letting them fight against their boys. Norman Jr. I would mess up the drum boots created in his career and would ruin Hearn’s investment.
