Former UFC light heavyweight Fabio Maldonado is known to MMA fans for his toughness, chin, action-fighting style, and his noted background as a professional boxer (albeit with an extremely padded record).
On Saturday night’s Matchroom Boxing on DAZN card against Michael Hunter, a very obvious mismatch on paper proved to be exactly that in practice. Hunter (16-1, 12 KOs), a former cruiserweight who’s still a small heavyweight at 215 lbs, was always going to have a speed and technical advantage, and it took him only two rounds to demolish the Brazilian, who was credited with literally zero landed punches.
