2008 United States Olympian Demetrius Andrade(6-0, 5 KO’s), newly christened “The Cape Verdean Assassin”, kept his undefeated record intact with a 6th round TKO of North Carolina’s previously undefeated John Williams (3-1-1, 2 KO’s) Friday night at the Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island.
“It was my first six-round fight, well, I stopped him in the sixth, and I was happy with my performance, maybe my best so far,” Andrade said after the bout. “I was surprised I didn’t stop him earlier. He was tough. I still could have done better; throwing my jab and not throwing some punches as wide. Fighting at home was beautiful. The fans gave me energy.”
Andrade utilized his far superior hand speed to land flush shots to the head and body of Williams all night long. At time, he even got crowd reaction for his solid defense by dodging and making Williams miss wildly with his punches.
At 2:33 into the 6th and final round with Andrade continue to land clean shots with regularity, the referee had seen enough and called a halt to the action awarding Andrade the TKO. The very tough Williams never went down.
About his new nickname, Andrade said, “I had a friend that we called the Cape Verdean Assassin who got deported to Cape Verde. I have the nickname in honor of him”
