Middleweight prospect Euri Cedeno delivered a dominant performance by stopping veteran Aro Schwartz via second-round TKO on Friday at the Wind Creek Events Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Cedeno (10-0-1, 9 KOs), of La Romana, Dominican Republic, asserted his dominance early, showcasing his power and precision from the opening bell. In the second round, Cedeno overwhelmed Schwartz (23-7-1, 15 KOs) from Baden-Württemberg, Germany, prompting the referee to intervene and halt the contest with 43 seconds left in the round.
“I came into this fight with the mindset to finish it early,” Cedeno said. “I had an excellent training camp, and I felt sharp from the moment the bell rang. Each fight, I’m improving, and tonight was a reflection of that. I believe I’m one of the top up-and-coming middleweights in the world, and this win is just the beginning. It’s going to open a lot of doors for me in the division.”
“Euri showed tonight that he’s ready to take on tougher challenges, by taking out an experienced fighter like Schwartz in such dominating fashion,” said Amaury Piedra, president of Boxlab Promotions. “His power and poise in the ring are incredible, and with my partner Marshall Kauffman of Kings Promotions, we’re confident we can guide Euri to the top of the middleweight division.”
Said Cedeno: “I’m ready to step up and fight the best middleweights in the world. My time is coming, and I’m ready to take on all challenges. The boxing world will know my name sooner or later.”
