Nico Ali Walsh failed to extend his KO streak to four consecutive stoppages outpointing Billy Wagner in his seventh professional fight.
Ali Walsh is looking to follow in the footsteps of his legendary grandfather Muhammad Ali, who is considered arguably the greatest fighter of all-time in the sport of boxing. The rising star had already fought six times as a professional and took on Wagner last night, having knocked out Reyes Sanchez with a body shot last time out.
And the 22-year-old picked up his latest win but failed to pick up a fourth straight stoppage, with the Top Rank prospect given unanimous decision on the judges scorecards who saw the contest at 58-56 , 58-56, 59-55 all in favour of Ali Walsh. The young star started extremely positively using a crisp jab to assert his dominance from the opening bell.
