Nakatila ruined Burchelt's comeback

Lightweight Jeremiah Nakatila (23-2, 19 KOs) scored an early victory over the former world champion Miguel Berchelt (38-3, 34 KOs) in the Saturday night boxing main event at Resorts World in Las Vegas.

Nakatila was noticeably superior to Burchelt in action, and sent him to the floor with a jab in the third round. Burchelt was able to come to his senses in the fifth round, but in the sixth he missed a strong blow, from which a cap flew out of his mouth. The fight was stopped after the sixth round.
