Shohjahon Ergashev KO1 Adrian Estrella ... In the ShoBox co-feature in Sloan, Iowa, junior welterweight Shohjahon Ergashev (18-0, 16 KOs) lived up to his reputation as a hard hitter with a 92-second knockout. The Uzbekistani southpaw knocked out Adrian Estrella (29-5, 24 KOs) in the first round with a devastating body shot. Writhing and yelling in pain, Estrella was unable to stand up before the count of ten. “I just saw the window to the body, so I threw the shot,” said Ergashev, who is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. “I wasn’t planning to knock him out in the first round. I wanted to get some rounds in. The guy is durable and experienced, so I thought I would, but when I saw that opening, I had to take it. I knew it was over the second it landed though. I knew he would not get up from that. No one could. That was a message to the super lightweight division. It’s Shoh Time! No matter where I fight, it is always Shoh Time.”

 

After Ergashev landed the knockout blow, Estrella of Fort Worth, Texas, went down writhing in pain from the left uppercut to the liver and unable to continue. “I started moving and tried using my jab, but he was very quick with that punch,” Estrella said. “He just punched me very hard in the stomach and I was paralyzed on the canvas. I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t hear the referee counting. I couldn’t hear anything, and I couldn’t move. It was a hell of a shot.” source: showtime press release
