LAS VEGAS — The danger of allowing a fighter who is being badly beaten try to make it to the finish was clearly evident Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden, when Junto Nakatani brutally knocked out Andrew Moloney at 2:42 of the 12th round with a blistering left hand.
Moloney, though, was badly behind in his fight for the vacant WBO super flyweight champion. He was knocked down in the second and again in the 11th and was in big trouble after the 11th round knockdown. Referee Mark Nelson could have stopped the fight there, but Moloney wanted to continue.
He paid for that when he missed a right hand and Nakatani drilled him with a crackling left. Moloney went down instantly and didn’t move for a while. Nelson stopped it without a count at 2:42 of the 12th.
