The Battle of Louisiana was won by Baton Rouge’s Shawn Jordan Saturday night at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, with the former LSU fullback knocking out NOLA native Derrick Lewis in the second round.
Lewis (12-4 with 1 NC) drew first blood to kick off the fight, landing a right hand and then clinching against the fence. Jordan recovered quickly and threw Lewis to the mat, scoring with some elbows before Lewis rose and the two broke. With under three minutes left, Jordan took Lewis to the canvas again, wearing out the big man from New Orleans, who was able to rise a second time.
