It’s tough to tell which Anthony Dirrell feat was more impressive.
Four rounds into his co-main event bout against Marcos Hernandez, Dirrell, a former super middleweight world champion, landed a bolo punch uppercut to Hernandez’s jaw. Dirrell, a 37-year-old from Flint, Mich., windmilled his right arm like a softball pitcher, and the impact of the punch snapped Hernandez’s head back before sending him to the canvas.
Seconds after the referee waved the fight off, Dirrell celebrated with a midring backflip.
And stuck the landing.
Dirrell, who dressed in Michigan State Spartan green and white, improved his record to 34-2-2.
