Comments Thread For: Gabriel Maestre Drops Travon Marshall Twice, Crushes Him in Two Rounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There was no doubt about Gabriel Maestre's win against this fighter from Maryland on Saturday night. The 37-year-old Maestre knocked out highly touted 22-year-old welterweight prospect Travon Marshall in the second round of a 147-pound fight Showtime televised from MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Maestre (6-0-1, 5 KOs), a two-time Olympian from Venezuela, dropped Marshall twice before referee Sharon Sands stopped their scheduled 10-rounder at 2:06 of the second round.

Travon bit more than he could chew.

He beat one of my personal favorite fighters in DeLoach so I'm glad he got knocked out. But then I was also pissed that Maestro got an undeserved decision in another fight.

What were these guys thinking putting Marshall in there with a 400 fight amateur career guy who had already been tested against fringe world level in his last 3 fights....Maestre was fast tracked because of his advanced age and experience. Marshall shouldn't have been fighting him tonight. The promoter isn't gonna sleep for weeks.
