Much had been made of the potential of Dutchman Gradus Kraus ahead of his Boxxer debut.
The light heavyweight contender impressed, cruising to an early win over tough Scot Boris Crighton, dropping Crighton with a duo of lefts to the body in the opening round and hurting him downstairs again just before the bell to close out the session.
Kraus left himself open on occasion but he was in no mood to hang around and he floored Crighton once more, this time to the head, in the second round. Moments later, Crighton was dropped by another body shot and referee Amy Pu waved the fight off as the towel came in from Crighton’s corner after 1:59 of the second.
