It’s official, Ernesto “Tito” Mercado didn’t just win a belt tonight. He took control of the conversation.

The undefeated super-lightweight boxing force, Tito (18-0, 17 KOs) stopped experienced contender Antonio Moran (31-8-1) with a crushing overhand right at 2:37 of Round 6, capturing the WBO International Super-Lightweight Title in emphatic fashion on Matchroom Boxing’s DAZN card in Stockton, California.

From the opening round, Mercado fought like a man with a plan — and the tools to execute it.
