Japanese standout Reito Tsutsumi made a statement in his pro boxing debut in Times Square, dominantly defeating Levale Whittington.
Tsutsumi dominated the opening around and appeared to rock Whittington in the second with a solid overhand left that appeared to have Whittington leaning on the ropes to stay up. Technically, that could be considered a knockdown, but the referee opted to let the fight continue uninterrupted.
Whittington started to mount a bit of a comeback in the third round, pushing the fight into the middle of the ring and landing a handful of solid body blows.
