Smith Scores Second-Round TKO In Bethlehem, PA!

Bowie, MD cruiserweight Luther "Lights Out" Smith scored a second-round TKO over Elvin "Koko" Sanchez of Paterson, NJ Friday at the Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, PA.

Smith had to bounce back from a first-round knockdown to get the win.  Sanchez landed a solid left hook that bent Smith over and his gloves touched the canvas.  However, early in the second round, Smith landed a solid right hook that dropped Sanchez.  Smith would follow the knockdown moments later with a crushing straight left hand that sent Sanchez to his knees.  The referee immediately stopped the contest at 55 seconds of the round.

Smith bounces back from his loss in November and is now 10-2, nine KO's.  Sanchez falls to 8-4-1, six KO's.

A side note on the card:  The event was televised by Eleven Sports.  The color commentator was the Beltway's own Mykal "The Professor" Fox.
