Thursday’s Top Rank Boxing on ESPN card had a really fun undercard that certainly was much more pleasing to watch than the mismatch-filled Tuesday slate, but the main event was something to behold.
Former 122 lbs champion Jessie Magdaleno (28-1, 18 KOs) returned to the ring in a 130 lbs fight against Dominican veteran Yenifel Vicente (36-5-2, 28 KOs), a heavy underdog but capable opponent who’d never been stopped.
Magdaleno knocked Vicente down in the opening round and in round five. There is no need to show you those highlights. What we got was a showcase in fouling by Vicente on his way to a deserved and overdue disqualification.
