MONDAY, 12.30PM:
SOUTH AFRICAN heavyweight boxer Corrie Sanders held onto his WBU title at the Mohegan Sun in Conneticut when he beat Bobby Czyz by a technical knockout in the second round of their fight on Saturday morning.
Sanders flattened Czyz three times in the first round, and put him down in the second round after a devastating array of hooks found their mark. Czyz got to his feet, but was dazed and groggy. After one minute 43 seconds in the second round the referee stopped the fight, saving Czyz from further punishment.
The win has improved Sanders’ record to 34 wins, 24 by knockout.
The 36-year old American challenger said before the fight that Sanders would need a baseball bat to knock him out. After the fight Czyz said that he did not expect Sanders to have so much power.
