Boxing Bob Newman from Fightnews was at ringside covering the first bout of Marco Antonio Barrera since signing a 5 year contract with Don King Productions.
Don King Productions staged an historic card billed as “We Are Together” at the close of the 46th WBC convention in Chengdu, China on Friday evening, while fans in the eastern coast of the USA were just waking up. Â
In a body punching clinic, come backing Marco Antonio Barrera methodically pounded overmatched Sammy Ventura into submission at 1:01 of the fourth. Ventura seemed content to try and survive as the “Baby Faced Assassin” stalked and pounded his body relentlessly. Two knockdowns in the fourth and it was all over, Ventura being saved by referee Kenny Bayliss. Barrera moves to 64-6 (43 KOs) while Ventura gets closer to .500 at 25-20 (20 KOs).
