JAMES TENNYSON WAS sensationally stopped by unheralded Mexican Jovanni Straffon inside a round of their lightweight contest at the Manchester Arena on Saturday evening.
The world title-chasing Belfast man was fortunate to be allowed to continue after a knockdown but, having barely regained his senses, was halted on his feet against the ropes by mystery man Straffon who lived up to his ring moniker ‘Impacto’ and transformed his career in just over two minutes.
