He used his left jab to control the distance and punish both the head and body of Gavazi (19-2, 13 KOs), whose speed proved to be a key factor in the fight.\n\n\n<p>Midway through the first round, a powerful right hand from Whittaker knocked down the German boxer, marking the beginning of the end. Whittaker continued his offensive, connecting a left hook followed by another right that hit squarely, ending the fight quickly at the NEC in Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\nAlthough visibly affected, Gavazi recovered and got up, apparently in good condition.\n\nWhittaker&#8217;s ring entrance, accompanied by British artist Dizzee Rascal, had already ignited the audience. The 28-year-old boxer lived up to expectations, backing up his flashy presentation with a resounding knockout.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Whittaker Shows Power with Brutal First-Round KO BIRMINGHAM, England &#8211; Ben Whittaker, in his debut under Eddie Hearn&#8217;s promotion with Matchroom Boxing, achieved an impressive first-round knockout against Benjamin Gavazi on Saturday.
