In a shocking fight, #15 WBA fringe contender Julius Indongo (21-0, 11 KOs) pulled off a major upset in stopping previously unbeaten 36-year-old IBF World light welterweight champion Eduard Troyanovsky (25-1, 22 KOs) in the 1st round on Saturday night to capture his IBF 140lb title at the Khodynka Ice Palace, in Moscow, Russia. The lanky 5’10” southpaw Indongo nailed Troyanovsky with a scorching left hand to the jaw in the 1st round that sent the Russian fighter down flaw on his back. Troyanovsky was badly hurt from the shot and didn’t even try to get up. Referee Mark Calo-Oy immediately stepped in and halted the fight with Troyanovsky still down on the canvas and in need of assistance. They eventually got Troyanovsky back to his feet and took him out of the ring, but he looked in bad shape. Indongo didn’t really need to do much in the fight other than nail Troyanovsky with the left hand. In fairness to Troyanovsky, he didn’t look like he was able to track the the left hand well, because he’s been fighting largely guys that use the right-handed orthodox stance. Troyanovsky didn’t see the shot coming from Indongo despite the fact that he wound up with his left hand from a long ways away before nailing him.
