Froch vs Mack results: Kal Yafai scores 52-second knockout win in TV opener

Former British amateur standout Kal Yafai ended the night's opening televised fight early on the Froch vs Mack undercard, improving to 5-0 (4 KO) with a 52-second body shot knockout of Italy's Pio Antonio Nettuno.

Yafai, 23, said after the fight he was a bit disappointed to not get more work in, but his power affected Nettuno on a body shot before that, and a few more shots to the midsection later, it was all over.

Promoter Eddie Hearn spoke after the fight of getting Yafai back in three weeks, then fast-tracking him toward domestic titles and even a world title shot, speaking glowingly of his power. Yafai, a bantamweight, may have the talent to fast-track, but there are still plenty of steps to go.

The shot was placed perfectly under the elbow, as Nettuno was trying to turn off the ropes. Nettuno made a show of getting up at the end of the count, but he was done.
