18-year old Dusty Hernandez-Harrison proved victorious delivering a fifth-round TKO over his opponent Eddie Soto (12-7) of Providence, RI to improve his professional record to 15-0 with 9 knockouts.
Soto was a game adversary, but was unable to match Hernandez-Harrison’s superior boxing skills and speed, constantly getting peppered by an effective jab. Hernandez-Harrison dropped Soto at the close of the second before flooring Soto with a combination that left his opponent crumbled on the mat in the final seconds of the fifth round.
