By Jake Donovan - With a single punch very late in the fight, the crowd at the Mile High Events Center in Denver, Colorado went from bored and displeased to receiving their money’s worth, as hometown favorite Mike Alvarado extended his unbeaten streak with a last-second knockout of Emmanuel Clottey in the evening’s main event.
The bout aired live on Azteca America, and was presented by Top Rank Inc.
There was literally nothing to talk about for most of their ten round junior welterweight bout. Alvarado stalked, trying to create openings to break up the monotonous pace that developed early and for most of the night never changed gears.
Clottey’s lone goal of the evening appeared to be to last the full ten-round distance, spending the entire night fighting behind an airtight guard while offering nothing in the way of an offensive attack.
All of that changed with less than ten seconds to go in the fight, in the best possible example of what separates boxing from other sporting events. [details]
