Popular junior middleweight Glen ?Jersey Boy? Tapia, a former sparring partner of ?Fighter of the Decade? Manny Pacquiao has scored a smashing 4th round TKO win over a tough and durable Donatas Bondorovas of Chicago, at Bally?s Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.
Tapia, known for his aggressive, two-fisted attack knocked Bondorovas through the ropes to end the fight at :47 seconds of the 4th round.
Boxing Scene reported that Tapia (22-1, 14 KO?s) continued the rebuilding process against Bondorovas (18-7-1, 6 KO?s) after his brutal knockout loss to James Kirkland last December.
The 23 year old Tapia was coming off a rousing win over previously unbeaten Abie Han (20-1, 13 KO?s) in what was described as an entertaining bout in ESPN Friday Night Fights but took a significant step backward with the loss to Kirkland although Tapia put on a truly brave performance typical of him.
