Philadelphia, PA (June 26th, 2017)– Tyrone ‘One Round’ Brunson, 25, 6-2 with 23 knockouts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, started his career with 19 consecutive knockouts. At age 32, run, with a 76 ½ inch reach, had a two and a ½ inch reach advantage over former world welterweight champion Kermit Cintron, a few months short of 38 years old, now 39-6-3 with 30 knockouts, Reading, Pennsylvania, a crossroads junior middleweight main event at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening, June 24, 2017.
The bout promised to be a hard hitting main event slugfest, and it lived up to expectations.
