Richard Commey scored for the second time in the number of light and vacant IBF titles. He won his first world title with a second round of Isa Chaniev.
Commey (28-2, 25 KO's) tore Chaniev (13-2, 6 KO's), letting him fall late in the first round on a monster right hand. As Commey ended before the bell rang to end the frame, he stumbled, which was perhaps all that saved Chaniev at that time.
But the Ghanaian did not waste time in seconds, picking up where he left off. He knocked Chaniev down with a left hook at the start of the round and with Chaniev obviously unstable at the return of the fight, he launched and finished things with a final gust, unleashing the Russian for the third time. fight at 39 seconds of the second round, showing his usual debatable judgment letting him go so far.
This is obviously a huge win for Commey, who considers him one of the best lightweights in the sport today. The winner of the fight said before the fight that he might face Vasiliy Lomachenko, WBO and WBO title holder, in a fight for unification in April, and that still seems to be the plan.
Commey managed 33 out of 105 (31%) of his shots in total and 29 out of 69 (42%) of his powerful shots while he was under control Chaniev very quickly. Chaniev scored 23 shots on 81 (28%) overall and 19 out of 64 (30%) of his powerful shots.
