With Tupou firmly backed up on the ropes, Teremoana continued to utilise his jab, throwing monster shots to the body.<\/p>\n

Teremoana measured up and caught Tupou with a thunderous uppercut that made his opponent’s eyes roll back in his head.<\/p>\n

The Australian landed a weak right-hand follow-up shot, but Tupou was already knocked unconscious and almost went flying out of the ring as the bout came to its conclusion.<\/p>\n

“That does not look good,” one of the commentators uttered as doctors rushed to Tupou’s aid.<\/p>\n

Hearn: One of the scariest KOs I’ve ever seen<\/p>\n

Teremoana’s promoter Eddie Hearn<\/a> of Matchroom Boxing had a front row seat for the brutal knockout and was full of praise for his heavyweight prospect.<\/p>\n

“That was one of the scariest knockouts I’ve ever seen,” he said.<\/p>\n

“And if you can have that guy from Australia, this is going to be a huge star.<\/p>\n

“Because he’s not just got the personality, he’s not just got the dance moves, he can really, really fight.<\/p>\n

“He’s got power in both hands, he’s a giant of a man, and he’s got a smile that will light up the room as well.<\/p>\n

“This guy’s got devastating power.”<\/p>\n

Hearn said he’s looking at potentially putting Teremoana in Saudi Arabia for a future fight, but wants his man to headline another show in Australia first.<\/p>\n

“[Teremoana] is a future world champion,” Hearn added.<\/p>\n

In the main event, Nicolson defeated Turner via unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the contest 100-89 in her favour.<\/p>\n

Teremoana, meanwhile, said that it was one of the best punches he’s ever thrown, but had the utmost respect for his 43-year-old opponent for getting in the ring.<\/p>\n

“It feels good to be performing here down in Melbourne,” he said.<\/p>\n

“What an awesome crowd and awesome event. <\/p>\n

“We’re starting a new wave of fighting down here in Australia, and to have the support of Matchroom over here is awesome…<\/p>\n

“I believe I’m championship material, so I’m going to take it one step at a time until I get the world title.”<\/p>\n
