00:00We are underway with a bonus action here in the light heavyweight division.
00:26This is the 17-year-old Giuseppe Iacca from right here in Tirana, Albania.
00:33He's taking on Leon Maric, the 11 and 12 light heavyweight journeyman from Bosnia.
00:43As Maric looks for that left hook to the body.
00:51Last saw Iacca in April of this year scoring a third round stoppage
00:56over the Nigerian club boxing legend KB Gatson who is also on tonight's card.
01:08Depending on how things go, if we get some more early stoppages
01:11we might see him on this broadcast as well.
01:1717-year-old Iacca just getting free shots on the face of Leon Maric right now.
01:24Just accepting these ones and twos.
01:31Both men realistically just getting warmed up.
01:33Of course, this is a swing bout so both Iacca and Maric are not sure
01:39when this fight would actually take place.
01:46Iacca just letting his hands go unencumbered right now.
02:10Iacca just cannot miss with that jab at the moment.
02:24Maric catching some of these but nice right hand over the top there from Maric.
02:31Not a lot of velocity on these shots from Iacca but they have been repetitive
02:36and they have not stopped since the opening bell.
02:41Maric throwing with more authority but not throwing a whole lot
02:44as Iacca just continues to peck away as we enter the final 30 seconds of round one.
03:06Maric trying to work his way to the inside with those hooks
03:13but again just running into ones and twos.
03:17Even if they're at about 30% velocity from Iacca, time and time again
03:22and a dominant round for the 17-year-old Albanian.
03:53We see some of the work from Iacca in the opening round.
04:02Leon Maric fairly indifferent to defense in that opening round
04:07just accepting a lot of shots from the 17-year-old Iacca.
04:15See if that pattern continues.
04:19We see a little streak of blood having come from the mouth of Leon Maric.
04:26Quite understandable considering how many shots he took in that opening round
04:31and Iacca is right on top of Maric here in the opening round
04:35and maybe hoping that just pure overwhelming volume
04:39will compel the referee to put a stop to this.
04:42The referee just inches away and there's really no reason for Iacca to stop
04:49but the referee has found one.
04:51That will do it, a second round stoppage for the teenager Giuseppe Iacca.
05:00A tough night for Leon Maric.
05:07He'll suffer his 13th loss overall, his 7th knockout loss as we see Iacca
05:15just going wild with the combinations here.
05:18Again, a tough night for Maric.
05:25Just going wild with the combinations here.
05:28Again, this is just pure speed and accuracy
05:32and Maric just not able to defend himself really from the opening bell.
05:40And as I mentioned, really no reason there for Iacca to stop.
05:44Only the referee was going to put a stop to that.
05:50That'll be the 7th victory in the pro career of Iacca.
05:57Takes out the 21-year-old Maric here in bonus action.
06:08So ladies and gentlemen, the official time of the stoppage.
06:1331 seconds, round number 2.
06:16The referee, Sissi Zanelli, has seen enough.
06:19He stops the contest and plays the winner.
06:22Still undefeated, from Tehran, Giuseppe Iacca!
06:35So a big moment for Giuseppe Iacca.
06:39The Albanian teenager who, like his compatriots on tonight's card,
06:44is still oscillating between the amateur scene.
