David Avila: "Travis Kauffman May be the Best Kept Secret in America"

Heavyweight prospect Travis Kauffman just may be the best kept secret in America. Once again the fighter from Reading, Penn. eliminated yet another opponent with ridiculous ease. It was a game William Shahan who absorbed the heavy duty punishment as Kauffman blew him out with the first barrage of punches 1:20 into the first round. “I was taking it easy at first. But when I saw him dropping his left hand I had to end it,” said Kauffman. A quick overhand right bludgeoned Shahan to the floor, but the last-minute sub gamely got up. Referee Robert Byrd let the fight proceed and Kauffman began to unload when Shahan’s corner ran up to the ring to halt the fight. Kauffman showed quick hands, great skills and just may be ready to crack the top 20 very very soon.
