Lev Jackson Wins by KO

Lightweight Lev Jackson won tonight by second knockout over Ivan Amescua* in Jamay, Jalisco, Mexico.

The 32 year old Vancouverite came into this fight without any knowledge of his opponent for the first time in his pro career. "I was patient and boxed, no brawling," Jackson told The Jewish Boxing Blog. "I waited him out because he wanted a street fight."

Amescua, a 25 year old from Guadalajara, is a southpaw who hoped to lure Jackson into exchanges. Jackson, though, kept his distance and landed accurate shots from the outside.

In the second round, Jackson scored a knockdown with a well-timed left to the body. He then connected with a two punch combination to the body and a left to the temple to score the knockout. The experience taught Jackson to be prepared for anything. Lev's record improves to 4-1-1 with 2 KOs. Aceves is now 3-4-2 with 1 KO. He has now been stopped three times.

* The opponent's name is unconfirmed. It seems Ivan Amescua wore the trunks hat Christian Aceves Rivera had on in his last fight. Will update when I get confirmation of the opponent.
