ROGELIO MEDINA KNOCKS OUT J'LEON LOVE IN 3

Moments ago at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rogelio Medina shocked J'Leon Love after landing a devastating left hook that sent the previously undefeated fighter crashing to the canvas in the third round of their scheduled 10-rounder. When the fight started, Love tried to keep his distance as he continuously circled the ring, firing his jab while attempting to crouch extremely low to avoid the punches coming at him. Medina, however, continued to press forward, backing Love up to the ropes by mixing his punches up to the body and head.

By the end of the second round, Medina was already doing a good job of cutting off the ring. Though Love continued to try and stick and move behind his jab, Medina was finding a home for his right hand and making things extremely uncomfortable. Just 30 seconds into the third round, Medina quickly backed Love up to a corner and landed an uppercut. As Love tried to answer with a left hook, he was beat to the punch by Medina with a short, left hook. Love immediately fell forward to the canvas, leaving his legs shaking. He tried to get up, but fell back down again.
