Ray Beltran Knocks Jonathan Maicelo Out With One Devastating Left Hook In Second Round

By Timothy Downs

Ray Beltran knocked Jonathan Maicelo out cold with one devastating left hook during their HBO Boxing match on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

Check out the incredible knockout in the video below.

Here’s an amazing angle.

Beltran was not only fighting for the right at a world title shot, but also his right to remain in the United States.

From USA Today:

Getting an EB-1 green card requires proof of “exceptional ability” in a particular field, be it sports, music, or arts and sciences. Beltran’s long career, 41 bouts over nearly 18 years, supports his case a little, as do letters from major boxing network and sanctioning officials. However, nothing will boost his chances like a victory and a chance at the title.

“This is by far the biggest fight of Ray’s life,” Feder adds. “A lot of people say they are fighting for a green card but Ray is literally fighting for his green card.”

Beltran is now the No. 1 contender to take on either Robert Easter Jr. or Denis Shafikov for the IBF lightweight title after they square off on June 30th.
