Undefeated lightweight Urbano Antillon of Maywood, California via Chihuahua, Mexico made a rousing statement moments ago by knocking out Bobby Pacquiao of the Philippines towards the end of the first round of their 10-round lightweight battle at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

A powerful left hook by Antillon to Pacquiao's liver sent Pacquiao gasping for breath before Antillon finished him off with left-right combinations to the head and body sending Pacquiao to the canvas. Pacquiao was unable to beat the referee's count.

Antillon cruised to his 22nd victory in as many bouts also upping his knockout tally to 15. Pacquiao dropped to 28-14-3 win-lose-draw record.
