Suarez stuns with final round TKO 

Undefeated Filipino Charly Suarez came from behind to score a stunning TKO win against unbeaten Australian indigenous super featherweight boxer Paul Fleming at the halfway mark of the 12^th round at the St Marys Sydney stadium on 15 March.

Trailing on all judges’ score cards going into the final round, Suarez delivered a superb right uppercut to the jaw that rocked the local star. Ceasing the moment the challenger followed up with a hard left cross that decked the Australian superstar, and referee Patrick O’Connor stopped the contest at the 1.58 minute of the last round.

Going into the 12^th round all three judges had Fleming ahead 108-101, 107-102 and 106–103.

Southpaw Fleming stood 4 inches higher than Suarez and – with a much longer reach – kept Suarez at distance to build up a comfortable lead heading into the 8^th round^.

After cutting Fleming above his left eye with a solid punch in round 2 Suarez had difficulty fighting in close as the Australian displayed quick movement and effectively scored with counter punches.

With the fight in the balance, and with just two rounds remaining, Suarez launched several desperate attacks and, finally, stopped his tiring opponent to end Fleming 29 winning streak.

Suarez extended his unbeaten record to 15-0.
