Cousin of world champion produces first round knockout in Las Vegas

Cousin of world champion produces first round knockout in Las VegasMelina Pizano/Matchroom

American super featherweight Zaquin Moses scored the first knockout of his professional career on Saturday night with his record now 2-0. 

Moses, who is the cousin of WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, was fighting on the undercard of Diego Pacheco vs. Steven Nelson at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Chelsea Ballroom. 

The 19-year-old was up against Mario Garcia who arrived into the contest on the back of a three-fight knockout streak. 

Adopting the southpaw stance, Moses was able to establish his jab early on and was landing aplenty on Garcia who at times did respond with shots of his own. 

However, Moses' punches had plenty of power and at the end of round one, Garcia failed to get off his stool bringing the fight to an early end. 

Stevenson, who was watching from ringside, found time to support his cousin ahead of his world title defence against Floyd Schofield on The Last Crescendo card on February 22 which will be available on DAZN PPV
