Four-time world champion Roberto Duran stopped journeyman Ken Hulsey with a hard left to the ribs in the second round of a scheduled 10-round middleweight fight at Cleveland.
Duran, 41, dropped Hulsey, 28, to one knee at 2:45 of the round. Referee Ron Tillman stopped the fight before Hulsey stood up.
“I hit him real good in the round and wouldn’t be surprised if I broke his ribs,” said Duran (87-9), who got his 61st career victory by knockout. He weighed 165 1/2 pounds.
