These Sunday Punch columns are normally reserved for classic boxing matches, but this one may as well be archived already as a legitimate contender for 2020’s Knockout of the Year.
In Showtime Boxing’s return to action on Saturday night in Uncasville, CT, the first bout of the evening was a light heavyweight rematch between Joe George and Marcos Escudero. George won the first matchup by controversial split decision, but the rematch (thankfully) did not require the judges.
Escudero was clearly getting the better of George entering round nine, but it was all for naught because George unleashed one whopper of an uppercut that wrecked Escudero.
