Broner vs Granados Non-TV Results From Cincinnati

CINCINNATI --Light heavyweight prospect Curtis Hill Jr. remained perfect in the ring, registering a quick hit 1st round knockout of Cory Dulaney in the final non-televised bout of the evening.

A right hand shot had Dulaney (5-4-1, 1KO) down and doing the stanky leg as he attempted to beat the count. His dance moves were to be admired, but nowhere close enough to convincing the referee to allow the action to continue as he halted the contest at 1:06 of round one.

Hill Jr., a 23-year old body-beautiful prospect from Indianapolis, improves to 10-0 (5KOs), although an upgrade in competition is required to see if he is in fact the real deal.

Local featherweight Desmond Jarman (1-0, 1KO) enjoyed a successful pro debut in a big way - and in a flash, annihilating South Bend's Lucas Burger in just 29 seconds. A straight right hand followed by a left hook put Burger (0-2) down for the count in the evening's curtain raiser.
