'Flash' Collins Stopped in Tuscon!

Bel Air, MD super middleweight Nick "Flash" Collins was stopped in the fifth round by undefeated Craig McEwan last night in Tuscon, Arizona.

According to Fightnews.com, "Collins did not put up much of a fight. He kept his guard up the entire fight, not allowing McEwan many openings, but refused to let his hands go. In fact, he didn’t land a punch until two-thirds of the way through the first round. Some might say his best punch of the fight was a push across the ring that drew a warning from referee Nico Perez in the first round."

The account continues: "Collins was visibly tired and worn by the start of the fifth round. His fifth round consisted mostly of running and holding. It didn’t appear that he wanted to fight for much longer and McEwan obliged. He unloaded with a flurry of hooks upstairs and downstairs to the weary fighter and the referee stepped in and stopped the fight as Collins was covering up and cowering away. McEwan was awarded the TKO 1:34 into round number five."

Collins's record falls to 4-3, four KO's while McEwan, a native of Scotland, rises to 7-0, six KO's.
