Locomotive
In his first fight under the recent match agreement, the former electrician Padley dropped the ganggly, slightly striking Cvetanovic twice in the fifth round to get space. Judge Steve Gray stopped the competition after the second knocking out the round. The official stop time was 1:13 Fifth round.
Although the 29 -year -old Cvetanovic defeated the count, Gray decided to stop the fight. Serbian was just beaten in every round, showing zero power, and he had nothing to offer. He was of course well chosen by Matchroom and was considered harmless to Padley.
During the first stunning Padley, he grated forward, landing in constant leftist combinations in a similar way to the piston. He looked like an elderly locomotive with the way he threw his combinations when charging the retreating Cvetanovica. When Josh imprisoned him in the line, he stuck him on the canvas with repetitive arrows.
Cvetanovic showed that a lot of heart gets up and decides to continue the fight, because he just ate 15 shots in the head in this sequence. It is true that Padley cannot break the eggs, but with the way he pounded on him, he has already taken enough. When the action was resumed, Padley was over him, attacking recklessly.
Cvetanovic caught Padley with a enormous right hand, which was thrown in everything he had, but he fired well. Padley continued to unload with the final dam, then sent it after combining with three tough right hands to his head. When Cvetanovic got up, judge Steve Gray decided to stop the fight.
Backward
Padley went down to the ninth knockout defeat with the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion on February 22 in Riyadh. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who chose Padley over the much more hazardous Cuban Southpaw Jadier Herrera, so that Shakur could fight, he liked what he saw so much that he signed him on the contract. Most fans were not impressed by Padley.
They were more disgusted Shakur, who wounded in his frail hands and showed little power in the fight with a guy who would not last more than one or two rounds with the airy champion of Gervont Davis or Keyshawn Davis.
