Ireland’s rising bantamweight star, Ryan Burnett (11W- 9KOs – 0L) won the vacant WBO European Bantamweight Title with a 2nd round TKO win against Robert Kanalas from Hungary yesterday evening at the Manchester Arena, England.
The talented 23 year old showed his growing maturity in the ring and patiently walked his opponent down in the second round before unleashing a powerful right hook to send the Hungarian fighter reeling to the canvas. After two further visits to the ring cloth in the round by Kanalas the referee waved the fight over.
RYAN BURNETT says he’s going to follow the blueprint set by fellow Belfast-native Carl Frampton in his attempts to get to the top.
