Heavyweight Frank Sanchez sent opponent Julian Fernandez falling through the ropes and out of the ring with a savage KO on Sunday (AEDT).<\/p>\n
Fighting on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs Callum Smith at San Antonio's Alamodome, Sanchez put his name up in lights with a brutal stoppage.<\/p>\n
A pair of monstrous right hands midway through the seventh round parted Fernandez from his senses, his feet, and the ring itself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sanchez, 28, moved to 17-0 (1 NC) with the 13th knockout of his professional career. The powerful Cuban dropped Fernandez to 14-3, with all his losses coming by stoppage.<\/p>\n
Sanchez started strongly in the opening two rounds, before somewhat cruising through the next four. Any doubts about his intent were soon ended in devastating fashion.<\/p>\n
Sanchez is a stablemate of boxing megastar Canelo and sometimes spars with the super-middleweight champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
