Adam Etches gave another demonstration of his power by beating previously unbeaten Brazilian Alexandre Mendes inside a round in his home city of Sheffield.
The promising middleweight retained his IBF youth title in a fight that, considering the knockout records of both fighters going into it, never looked like lasting the full 10 rounds.
In the end it didn't even make it past the first, Mendes' corner throwing in the towel just two seconds before the bell sounded.
Etches had looked set to end the bout before then, landing two consecutive straight rights that rocked his rival and left him lurching around against the ropes.
