If Liam Paro didn't have the boxing world's attention prior to Matchroom Boxing's venture into Brisbane, Australia, he certainly does now.
The all-Australian battle of unbeaten prospects between Paro and Brock Jarvis in the headline slot of Saturday's card was over almost as soon as it started, as a few high-tempo opening exchanges quickly made way for Paro's brutal left hand to conclude the card with a champagne finish.
Jarvis looked done as soon as he landed on the canvas, and the referee wisely abandoned his count and waved it off. Thankfully, Jarvis made enough of a recovery moments later to stand of his own accord.
"You don't want to take fighters down like that, but look man, I told everyone I was the best fighter in this country and I proved it tonight," said Paro in the ring after the main event.
"I've said for a while it's my time. I'm here to make a statement. I prepared well for his fight and I shut a few mouths with this win."
Demsey McKean promised a spectacular KO of his own in his heavyweight chief support bout against Patrick Korte, and delivered in round three after a crunching combo of blows sent Korte straight down in a heap. McKean will have his eyes on big-stage bouts such as Dillian Whyte or perhaps even Anthony Joshua in 2023.
Also on the show, Olympic hero Skye Nicolson gave Australian fight fans more cause for optimism with her fifth comfortable victory in five pro bouts, Rocky Ogden finished Ben Cameron Hands fast in the main show opener, and Cesar Mateo Tapla and Abdoulaye 'Mayweather' Sakho delivered the best fight of the show which ended with a deserved points win for Tapia.
