Alex Pereira seems to really want to win KO of the year in 2019.
After submitting a very solid flying knee entry back in May, he’s now scored one of the nastiest left hook KOs you’ll ever see over Donegi Abena. It was the middleweight champion’s light heavyweight debut and he answered any questions about whether he could handle the size of light heavyweights or his power would carry over. He looked on par size wise, if not a bit bigger than Abena, a solidly built light-heavyweight who enjoyed a noticeable size advantage over current champion Artem Vakhitov.
