Friday night at the Melbourne Pavillion in Flemington Australia, undefeated heavyweight prospect Teremoana Teremoana 10-0 (10 Ko’s) dispatched tough but faded former contender Bowie Tupoe 29-7 (20 Ko’s) in the opener of a scheduled 8 rounder. Tupoe hasn’t had a significant win in 7 years since he stopped Roger Izonritei in 2019, despite having faced quality opposition like Joseph Parker, Bryant Jennings and Malik Scott over a decade ago. Teremoana found his range early, finding the 287 pound Tupoe a stationary target. Half was into the session Tupoe was stunned by a quick right hand, as he backed into the ropes Teremoana landed a lethal uppercut followed by a straight right that left the 43 year old Tupoe sagging to the canvas. Referee Ignatius Missailidis called a halt immediately at 1:14 of the round, giving Teremoana his 9th first round knockout in 11 starts. The height and dimensions of the mammoth Teremoana, paired with the speed and killer instinct will make him hard to subdue until he stepped into higher level competition. This fight was a chief support to the Skye Nicholson v Mariah Turner show, promoted by Eddie Hearns Matchroomin association with Sam Labrunas SLB Fight night Promotions, broadcast exclusively on DAZN Globally.
