Raul Curiel Earns TKO Win Over Ramses Agaton

Raul Curiel is celebrating a strong performance…

The 25-year-old Mexican professional boxer came out of the gate fast and never relented, battering Ramses Agaton for four-plus minutes on his way to a one-sided, second-round TKO victory.

Curiel (9-0, 7 KOs) focused on the body early on, and a left hook to the liver buckled Agaton, who fell to his knee in frustration.

The fight appeared to be on the brink of a stoppage at the end of Round 1 after a flurry of punches against the ropes, but Agaton (22-13-3, 12 KOs) lasted long enough to hear the bell at the end of the round.

The aggression didn’t stop with the start of Round 2, though, as a perpetual barrage of right hooks and left uppercuts from Curiel landed consistently. Agaton, whose right eye swelled shut, was unable to protect himself and his corner threw in the towel at 1:16.

According to CompuBox data, Curiel outlanded Agaton 43-10 despite throwing virtually the same number of punches (108 for Curiel, 107 for Agaton).
