Cuello Disagrees With TKO Call, Praises Julian Williams

Bethlehem, PA - The main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes showcased Julian Williams (21-0-1, 13 KOs) as he knocked out Luciano Cuello (35-4, 17 KOs) in the very first round of their contest. At the one minute 33-second mark of the first round Williams proved too much for Cuello.
 
"It was a right to the head that ended things. I felt my eye closing up. I felt like I might have been able to continue, but my balance was a little thrown off after he landed the right to my left eye," Cuello said.
 
"I disagreed with the stoppage when I was in the moment, but I'll go back and watch the fight to take another look at it. I've fought some great fighters in my career, and Williams is as strong as any of them."

The opening televised bout featured Mexico's Moises Flores (24-0, 17 KOs) in an action-packed brawl against Argentina's Luis Cusolito (21-2, 19 KOs). During a battle that allowed both fighters to appear in control at times, Flores managed to withstand 11 rounds of damage and sealed the deal with a 12th round knockout over Cusolito.
 
Caleb Plant (10-0, 8 KOs) went the distance in the second televised bout and secured a unanimous decision (80-71, 79-72, 80-71) victory over Jamar Freeman (13-5-2, 7 KOs).
