Alejandro Berrio made an impressive 6th title defense of his IBO SMW belt with an 8th round, 1 punch uppercut KO Jesus Ernie Gonzalez.

Jesus was 13-0, all KO's @ 160 & had just taken the IBO MW belt from Daniel Jacobs with a dominating 6th round KO.

Early in the fight, it appeared JEG's combo of speed & youth would be too much for Berrio but a JEG left cross miss & a counter Berrio upper put JEG on the deck. JEG beat the count but it was Berrio's fight from that point on.

In the 8th, a combo put JEG on the deck again for a quick 2 count flash KD. A Berrio upper @ 2:26 of the 8th ended matters & JEG's dream of a 2nd belt @ another weight.

It was a close fight @ the time of the KO, 2 judges had Berrio up 67-64, 66-65 & the 3rd had it even @ 66. JEG was leading 167-161 in punches landed.

Berrio now moves to 15-1 (all KO's) - his lone loss to Gutneckt by decision a few years ago.
