Fast hands run in the family, and Biaggio Ali Walsh ’s latest display might have been his most impressive yet. The grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali scored a first-round knockout on the main card of 2023 PFL 5 at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta. The amateur bout against Travell Miller was Walsh’s fourth straight win, with an official stoppage time of 3:27. Walsh’s hand speed has been a problem for his opponents. Combined with his aggression and composure, he picks his spots well, which resulted in a devastating finish after a left hook dropped Miller in the opening round. Check out video of the finish below (via Twitter ): BIAGGIO! 1st Round Finish!
