Hunter Secures Second Consecutive Early Victory

In the heart of Zapopan, Mexico, a clash unfolded between the American, Michael Hunter (22-1-2, 16 KOs), and the Mexican, Ignacio Esparza (23-4, 14 KOs), which crowned the evening's boxing event with its fervor.

As the rounds progressed, the bout reached a pivotal moment in the 4th round when Esparza, grappling with a shoulder injury, chose not to continue the fight, resulting in a RTD (referee technical decision) in the 4th round in favor of Hunter.
