Lucas Bahdi upset one of boxing’s top young prospects, Ashton Sylve, scoring a chilling sixth-round knockout on the undercard of the Jake Paul-Michael Perry event on Saturday at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Prior to the stoppage, Bahdi (17-0, 15 KOs), an unheralded junior welterweight/welterweight from Niagra Falls, Canada, had been outclassed by the 20-year-old native of Long Beach, California. Sylve (11-1, 9 KOs) consistently made Bahdi miss using deft upper-body movement while beating the plodding 30-year-old to the punch.
