Sinaloan Manuel ‘Meño’ Gallegos overwhelmed American Khalil Coe this Saturday in Philadelphia, to win the USWBC light heavyweight title, with a determined, gritty and irresistible  performance.

At the beginning of the fight, Coe kept his distance with a powerful jab, showing cool calculated boxing skillls.

But, as the rounds progressed, Gallegos, who was superbly conditioned, took charge of shortening the distance to connect with power punches to his rival’s body, diminishing his resistance. In the fifth round, Manuel sent Khalil Coe to the canvas with a crunching body shot.

In the 30 seconds before the end of the seventh round, Manuel Gallegos sent Coe to the canvas again with a powerful right uppercut to the chin. The grand finale came in the eighth round, Gallegos applied the same combination on an exhausted Coe to send him to the canvas for the third time, and the Referee stopped the fight.
