Daniel "The Haitian Sensation" Edouard (23-2-2 KOs 14) made short work of Panamanian Champion, Jose Arosemena (12-6-2 KOs 10), knocking him out in the 2nd round of their scheduled 11 round WBA Fedelatin Middleweight main event held at Hotel Melia Panama Canal, Colon City, Panama last night, Friday, April 30.

 

In front of a capacity crowd Edouard, who weighed in a at very fit 156 1/2 pounds, looked in very good condition. Arosemena forced the action early but this proved to be a bad strategy. Edouard, in response, reeled off several controlled jabs and strong right hands, ultimately knocking out the challenger at 2:33 of second round.

 

Other results on the night yielded wins for former interim WBA super bantamweight title holder, Panamanian, Ricardo Cordoba over Nicaraguan, Jose Guiterrez. Undefeated prospect, Jamaican, Nicholas Walters won by knock out over Alexander Alonso, and Andua Vargas beat Humberto Pena.

 

Upset of the evening was a loss suffered by undefeated Haitian prospect, Evens Pierre at the hands of Panamanian, Rosano Lawrence. Pierre's record falls to 12-1 with 11 KOs.

 

Edouard plans to return to his native Haiti and continue helping with the earthquake relief efforts. When asked what's next in the ring Edouard responded, "I don't know yet. I'm ready to go again right now. I guess we'll see what happens."
