Clarksburg, MD middleweight Mark "Sayless" Duncan defeated Ray "Sugar" Cervera of Bakersfield, CA by TKO on the undercard of the Charlo Brothers card at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.


In a scheduled four-round contest it was Duncan who controlled the action from the sound of the bell. Duncan landed some clean shots that showed effectiveness on Cervera. It was a left hook followed by a crushing right hand that dropped Cervera to the canvas. The referee saw that Cervera was too hurt to continue and stopped his count at seven, waiving the bout off at 1:51 in round one.

Duncan is proving to be a middleweight with power. In his pro debut he defeated Jonell Christmas of Conway, AR by TKO at 2:31 of the second-round on September 22nd at Bowie State University in Bowie, MD.

Duncan improves his record to (2-0, 2 KO's) as Cervera is still looking for his first win falling to (0-4).
