Landover, MD junior welterweight Michael Warrick suffered a crushing knockout against Demetrius Hopkins tonight at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.
Warrick was actually fighting a solid contest and had to battle a knee that was hurt in the fifth round. Warrick's manager, former world champion Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson, told ESPN2 that Warrick hurt the knee in training camp. But still, Warrick seemed to be in the bout, if not possibly leading.
The knockout, quite frankly, will come up in discussions for knockout of the year. Hopkins landed a devastating right hand that sent Warrick to the canvas face first. Referee Randy Newman immediately stopped the contest at 1:59 of the ninth.
Warrick's record drops to 18-4, 11 KO's. Hopkins remains undefeated at 24-0-1. 10 KO's.
