Simmons Remains Undefeated with TKO Victory in Mexicali
IslandStats.com
Bermudian professional boxer Dash Simmons successfully extended his undefeated record in spectacular fashion, claiming a Technical Knockout (TKO) victory over Mexican opponent Francisco Rios in the third round of their international light heavyweight bout in Baja California.
Simmons, known for his relentless pressure, controlled the fight from the start primarily using his powerful jab, forcing Rios to lunge aggressively to try and land scoring blows.
The breakthrough came midway through the third round when Simmons landed a devastating left hand that sent Rios to the canvas. While Rios managed to get up and was allowed to continue after a standing eight count, Simmons immediately pressed his advantage. Landing a barrage of big, clean shots, Simmons was deemed too strong by the referee, who stepped in to stop the contest and award the Bermudian the TKO win.
Fellow Bermudian Adrian Roach was also due to compete on the card, but was declared the winner of his fight by default after his scheduled Mexican opponent, Victor Emmanuel López, failed to get into the ring for the bout.
The double success marks another positive international outing for Bermuda's boxing talent, with Simmons maintaining his perfect professional record.
