Great KO, good job to ATBF for finding that fight! Very heavy hands for Tapales for a 118 pounder.
Glass jaw vs heavy and fast hands = perfect combo for demolition!
Very good knock downs and good stoppage from referee. Marlon looks like that he is a hard puncher or the Japanese has a very weak chin. The fight was good but short.
