Two-time Olympian Kanat Islam remained unbeaten as the junior middleweight contender scored a thrilling sixth-round stoppage of Juan de Angel to punctuate the latest instalment of PBC on Bounce TV, which went down inside the Lakeland Events Center in Lakeland, Fla., on Sunday night.
Islam (21-0, 18 KOs) traded serious leather with his Colombian counterpart from the start, making for an entertaining battle until the very end. The Kazakh, who now lives and trains out of Florida, landed the harder blows throughout but that’s not to say that he didn’t absorb powerful punches in return.
Just after the midway point of the scheduled 10 rounds, Islam delivered a barrage of shots that floored de Angel (18-4-1, 17 KOs).
