Williams Scores First-Round TKO in WILD Bout To Capture NABO Light Heavyweight Title!

On social media and on the ESPN2 telecast, it's already being called a Round of the Year candidate.  Thomas "Top Dog" Williams, Jr. has captured the vacant NABO Light Heavyweight championship with a crazy first-round TKO over Cornelius White at the Little Creek Casino in Shelton, WA.

Williams got off to a great start, scoring a knockdown 27 seconds into the bout.  Williams looked dominant but around the two-minute mark in the round, he got a little careless and ran into a counter left hook from White and fell to the canvas for the first time in his pro career.

Williams quickly righted the ship and swarmed White, scoring a knockdown late in the round before the bout was finally stopped at 2:49.

Williams remains undefeated at 16-0, 11 KO's.  White, of Houston, TX, falls to 21-3, 16 KO's.

I like fighters that have suspect chins and good punching power. Always exciting that way dude.
