Jeison Rosario Batters Julian Williams For TKO in Five, Shocker to Win Titles
PHILADELPHIA – Jeison Rosario ruined Julian Williams’ homecoming and abruptly ended his title reign Saturday night.
The rugged Rosario, a huge underdog, stunningly knocked out Williams in the fifth round of their scheduled 12-round, 154-pound championship match in Williams’ hometown. Most Internet sports books listed Williams as at least a 30-1 favorite entering a main event FOX televised from Temple University’s Liacouras Center.
You wouldn’t have known it by the way the unknown, unfazed Rosario ran through Williams before his hometown crowd.
A right-left combination by Rosario was the beginning of the end for Williams in the center of the ring in the fifth round. After landing that combination, Rosario jumped on a wobbled Williams and unloaded a barrage of power punches that hurt the former champion badly. MORE
