Jingliang knocked out former surging welterweight contender Santiago Ponzinibbio in the first round after the Argentine-born contender ended a two-year hiatus due to a myriad of health issues in the midst of a seven-fight win streak.
Di Chirico was seen by many as a stepping stone following a three-fight win streak and was fed to the viral knockout sensation Joaquin Buckley. But the 31-year old Italian had other plans and drilled the aforementioned Buckley with a right head kick that derailed Buckley's hype train and put an extra $50K into his bank account in the process.
